Why Compounding ?
- Since Tryptophan is a nutritional supplement,
and not a drug which can be patented, there is no reason that
any drug company would be interested in packaging it in a bottled-product
form for a doctor to prescribe from the pharmacy.
.
- And nutritional supplement companies aren't
making it, and you can't go out and buy it off the vitamin store
shelf.
.
- So pharmacists obtain the powder, being
very careful to get the purest grade powder.
.
- To fill a prescription, they put the pure
pharmaceutical grade l-tryptophan powder into the capsules in
the amounts prescribed by your doctor.
.
- All in all, and for now, I think it's
best this way so that greed or carelessness doesn't spoil it
for us again - so that the supply doesn't get contaminated again.
.
- This is of critical importance
