L-Tryptophan

L-Tryptophan Formulas

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid and precursor to serotonin, commonly chosen to complement normal sleep patterns and mood balance as part of an evening routine, building on its well-known association with the relaxed, sleepy feeling sometimes attributed to tryptophan-rich foods like turkey. Our range is sourced from trusted brands offering clearly stated dosing, typically taken in the evening given its relevance to serotonin and, downstream, melatonin production involved in normal sleep regulation. As an essential amino acid, tryptophan must come from the diet, and is naturally found in protein-rich foods such as poultry, eggs, cheese and seeds, though supplemental forms allow for more concentrated, standardised dosing than is practical through food alone.

Food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
