Now you have me thinking....
My son hass been rather happy these last couple months. Unusual for him. Oddly, he stopped 5HTP 5-6months ago.
Apparently liver is a good source. And though he recently added this to his diet and eats about a pounds worth at a go..... but since consumption is not every day......cant account for the new found happiness. |
