Because you don't want to skip the body's rate limiting enzymes, or you can throw off the balance of neurotransmitters. Both L-DOPA and 5-HTP share the same enzyme, aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. This means that su

For what reason? Is your diet deficient in phenylalanine or tryptophan? Are your enzymes down-regulated?
