HealthWise® L-Tryptophan is 100% pure pharmaceutical
grade amino acid. This essential amino acid is found in all animal
proteins and is often lacking in a vegan diet.
L-Tryptophan
and the conversion to 5-HTP are known precursors to enhance the
neurotransmitter Serotonin, manufactured in the brain and GI tract.
L-Tryptophan absorption can be boosted by supplementation with B group
vitamins.
Tryptophan is an essential amino
acid. It is the precursor to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) which is the
direct precursor to serotonin. Serotonin is important for mood and
sleep; when it is deficient, this can lead to anxiety, depression,
insomnia and various other neuropsychological conditions. L-Tryptophan
works in about 50% of insomnia cases.
Tryptophan
is the precursor for vitamin B3 in the form of nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NAD). Only about 1/60th of the tryptophan in the body is
actually converted to NAD.
