I wonder if the tablets were really something else. I remember that about 15
years ago the supplement L-Trytophan was found to be contaminated and four
people actually died. It, too, was used to help calm down and get to sleep
(like after eating a big turkey dinner.) The tablets were made in Japan, but
I don't remember what the contaminant was. It was pulled off the market for
a while after this was reported.
