Dangerous supplement ....for sensitive people.
This caused a serious side effect in my son. About 1 hour after taking it he had severe back muscle stiffness and he couldn t bear the pain. Even with a muscle relaxant it took him 3 days to feel normal . Suggest not to be taken without doctor s supervision . Also the seller didn t take the product back after bringing to their notice , the side effect .

Eat your hummus, tryptophan and inositol. Because panic attacks stink.
I used to have panic attacks which I controlled, first with Ativan before switching to inositol (a vitamin that is required for the synthesis of serotonin). Eventually, the panic attacks seemed to go away and I stopped the inositol too. That worked for a good long while. But recently, my doctor was forced to take me off my medications for a short period. During this time, my panic attacks came back although in very mild form. Basically, I would find myself tensing up and breathing as if i'd exercised. It was simple to control them simply by lying down and relaxing. Still, I'm stubborn. I tried to supplement again with the inositol but it seemed to have no effect. After a few days, it almost seemed as if the problem might be getting worse. So a little reading: Tryptophan is the precursor amino acid that gets converted to serotonin. The primary organs that produce serotonin are 1) the gut and 2) the brain. In fact, the gut produces more serotonin than the brain. Almost all protein sources have goodly amounts of tryptophan with turkey at the top of this list. However, getting the tryptophan to the brain is a problem. There is a special transporter protein which I dub the train to the brain. The problem is tryptophan is the slowest to get on board. If you eat a high protein meal (turkey), all the other amino acids from the meat crowd on board faster and tryph never makes it on board. In addition, tryptophan absorption is increased if the body releases insulin. So the best way to absorb tryptophan is to eat a vegan meal with some vegetable that is naturally high in tryph (chickpeas or these capsules) along with some carbs. The other strategy if you eat meat is to crank the levels of tryph high, really really high. For this to work, you probably want to buy tryph in bulk and spoon in over your meat until you get a mound equal in size. And yes, supplementing does work. They ran one clinical trial with the vegan meal strategy and documented improvement in symptoms. After about 3 small vegan meals with crackers plus some inositol, my panic attacks subsided. It didn't work if I just did one or the other. Then I just tried supplementing with tryph plus inositol along with my nighttime snack and they haven't come back. After a while, my doctor put me back on my meds, but I keep the tryph because it's clear I'm not getting much into the brain through diet alone.
