L-Trytophan - An Essential Amino Acid

Restful Sleep, Healthy Moods and Immune Response

L-Tryptophan is a protein building block that supports healthy moods, relaxation, and restful sleep. It also plays a key role in the body's synthesis of melatonin and serotonin -- hormones involved in mood and stress response. In addition, as a precursor to the kynurenines that regulate the body's immune response, L-Tryptophan supports the body's immune functions. As required by the body, L-tryptophan also converts to niacin and thus supports a healthy nervous system and circulation, as well as the body’s metabolism.

Weight Management - Easing Cravings for Carbohydrates

L-tryptophan also aids in the production of hydrochloric acid used by digestive system for the effective breakdown of food. It may also reduce carbohydrate cravings and is supportive as an aid in maintaining a healthy weight.
