L Tryptophan
L-Tryptophan is a natural anti-depressant, plentiful in protein foods but largely lost through cooking and processing.
L Tryptophan is a naturally occurring amino-acid. It is a precursor for the mood-regulating serotonin the brain neurotransmitter linked with pleasure and fulfilment.
L-Tryptophan's is used to alleviate depression, support alcohol withdrawal and to aid weight loss. It plays an important role in our diets, and aging individuals are often in need of it as a supplement.
L-tryptophan (l tryptophan; Trp) is a large neutral amino acid essential to human metabolism because it is the metabolic precursor of serotonin (a neurotransmitter), melatonin (a neurohormone), and niacin (vitamin B3). As a component of dietary protein, tryptophan is particularly plentiful in chocolate, oats, bananas, dried dates, milk, cottage cheese, meat, fish, turkey, and peanuts. Approximately 300 mg Trp is available in three ounces of turkey, lamb, beef, tuna, or peanuts. Relative to other amino acids, small amounts are needed to have a therapeutic effect, which is fortunate because Trp is the least abundant amino acid in the diet.
Unlike some product, ours is pharmaceutical quality of German origin, extracted from plant material and contains no filling agents apart from cellulose.
What is L tryptophan?
L Tryptophan is an essential Amino Acid. L Tryptophan is a component of many plant and animal proteins, and a normal part of the diet that humans must get from outside sources. It is a precursor (starting material) for serotonin from which our brains make serotonin, which is then used to calm you down and make you sleepy. Tryptophan also helps in niacin (B vitamins) production.
Foods that are considered sources of tryptophan are dairy products, beef, poultry, barley, brown rice, fish, soybeans, and peanuts.
L tryptophan, in substantial quantities, is a natural sedative. It is normally found in turkey meat, and many people believe it to be the cause of a sleepiness common after a Thanksgiving feast.
