DESCRIPTION
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot produce it, but has to obtain it from food. Tryptophan is the only precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin in its turn is a precursor of melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Tryptophan thus helps to regulate the natural circadian rhythm of biological processes and promotes a healthy, natural sleep. Tryptophan is also important for a balanced state of mind. It protects nerve tissue and improves stress tolerance levels. Tryptophan also supports intestinal function and reduces appetite.
In addition to tryptophan, L-Tryptophan 220 mg Plus contains various synergists. Magnesium and vitamin B6 play an important role in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin. Vitamin C plays an important role in overall brain metabolism. Vitamin B1 is of importance for carbohydrate metabolism, as well as for energy supply to the brain. Vitamin B3 promotes concentration and copper is necessary for the metabolism of vitamin C.
Most important features of L-Tryptophan 220 mg plus:
- Only the natural, left-handed form of the amino acid
- Contains the necessary synergists for the absorption and function of L-lysine
