as regards both this and the first response, adapton contains some EPA, and i have found fish oils to (so far) be the most helpful thing for my moods (lamictal helps some, but i get a much better effect from the combination).

some d-isoforms (for instance, d-arginine and d-aspartic acid) are extremely toxic and responsible for some of the symptoms of bacterial diseases, whereas others are benign... i was just wondering if someone had info to contradict what i have seen regarding safety of this particular d-isoform.
