I don't normally take any kind of supplements or anything (I know I should probably take magnesium and melatonin and eat better and bla bla bla)
I tried to find a pic the lists all the effects of it , i'm too lazy to read it. The pictures are either from ANTI EVERYTHING and say it causes cancer and evil, or a picture from HEALTHY SUPPLEMENTS.CA that says it cures cancer and makes your dick 10x bigger
If I can't make it myself I lose interest quickly
lets examine a industrial quantity synthesis shall we?
oh right isn't this the stuff you take to fix your brain from MDMA. I don't fucks with brain chemicals very much.
https://erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/tryptophan.htmlTo a solution of L-tryptophan (50g) in water was added a solution of an excess of copper(II)acetate in water. The resultant precipitate was enhancemented. The extract was then washed several times with hot water to give the copper chelate compound. Yield: 52g, mp >280°C.

A suspension of Tryptophan Copper Chelate in DMSO was heated at 170-175°C for several minutes, during which time an evolution of carbon dioxide was observed. After cooling, the resultant precipitate was enhancemented and to the filtrate was added a suitable amount of water. The reaction mixture was made basic with 30% sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with chloroform. After distillation of the solvent, the resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to givce tryptamine in 40% yield. The use of HMPA (hexamethylphosphoric triamide) instead of DMSO increased the yield to 45%, but that small increase in yield is not worth working with the expensive and highly toxic solvent HMPA.
Tryptophan (454g) was suspended in tetralin (1150 ml) containing acetone (12.9 g) and the mixture was heated to reflux for 12 hours with vigorous stirring until no more carbon dioxide was evolved and the reaction mixture became clear. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the residue was distilled under reduced pressure to give a yellow crystalline solid.
Tryptamine to N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)
Next, 30g of formaldehyde and 120g Tryptamine were disolved in 1800ml of MeOH, to this was slowly added dropwise 50g of NaCNBH3 disolved in 550ml MeOH. Then 14g Glacial Acetic Acid was added dropwise with stirring. The mixture was then stirred for 60 hours. The majority of the MeOH was distilled off (2000 ml collected) to the distillation flask was added 1L of 5% Aq. Ammonia which was extracted with 3x250ml of DCM. The DCM was washed with a salt solution (not saturated but still pretty strong) then the DCM separated and dried with a large portion of anhydrous MgSO4. The DCM was distilled off at atmospheric pressure and then the distillation was continued under vacuum (~1 torr now) until the dimethyltryptamine was collected. Which was recrystalized from boiling hexane with a few mls of Ethyl Acetate added. This afforded 48.8g of DMT, a 35% yield.
well, thats not how to make 5htp but it's all kinda in this class anyways, take DMT instead you are legally allowed to if you declare yourself trianglist
