Can Nootropics Make You Superhuman - podcast with David Tomen

5-HTP, L-Tryptophan and Serotonin Balance

The discussion focuses on the risks of using 5-HTP as a direct precursor to serotonin, noting it often stops working after several weeks due to neurotransmitter imbalances. David Tomen recommends L-Tryptophan as a safer, two-step alternative for raising serotonin levels. He explains that over-supplementing one neurotransmitter can inadvertently depress others, such as dopamine.
