ABSTRACT:
A highly effective sleep-inducing pharmaceutical composition that causes few, if any, side-effects contains an amino acid and a cation in certain proportions. The amino acid may be tryptophan, cystathionine, or lysine, preferably tryptophan, and most preferably L-tryptophan, and the cation may be calcium, magnesium, manganese, or lithium, preferably calcium or magnesium, and most preferably calcium. The ratio of amino acid to cation is about 0.02:1 to 1.0:1 when the cation is calcium or magnesium, 5:1 to 100:1 when the cation is manganese, and 0.02:1 to 100:1 when the cation is lithium. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered in any conventional manner.
