yes, that and the combination of blood going to your stomach to aid in digestion contribute to post gluttony fatigue.

No. A 6 oz portion of turkey has less L-troptophan than 1 capsule and it takes 3 times that amount to have any effect, not even a strong effect.

from what I've heard no-but from me personally it seems like it does -might be like a placebo effect
