L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning it is essential for human life as our bodies do not synthesize this amino acid and must be taken in by our diet. Many of the amino acids are building blocks for protein biosynthesis and L-Tryptophan in particular is a precursor to Serotonin and Melatonin, neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. Serotonin is commonly associated with the feelings of personal security, relaxation, and confidence. Melatonin is found produced in the body as we approach night time and we are preparing for bed, the body increases production. A deficiency in Tryptophan can result in sleep and mood disturbance that can lead to an host of other problems. Our L-Tryptophan is made synthetically from plant based materials and is not derived from animal derivatives. NON-GMO and Vegan safe.
