ABSTRACT:
Intractable chronic pain is eliminated or relieved through administration of a composition including L-tryptophan in combination with fructose, pyridoxine and niacinamide. Each ingredient either promotes the transport of L-tryptophan from the blood plasma across the blood-brain barrier into the brain or promotes the conversion of L-tryptophan within the brain to the neurotransmitter serotonin.
