Product description
The feel-good amino acid: L-tryptophan
L-tryptophan isn't called the "feel-good amino acid" for nothing. Your body can't produce this essential amino acid itself, which is why you need to get enough of it through your diet. You'll find L-tryptophan mainly in protein-rich foods. Incidentally, this substance is also responsible for the widespread belief that chocolate improves your mood.
L-tryptophan plays a vital role in your body. It serves as a precursor for the production of the happiness hormone serotonin. Furthermore, this amino acid acts as a precursor to melatonin, often referred to as the sleep hormone.
- A deficiency in serotonin and melatonin can manifest as depressive moods and sleep problems. Your body needs vitamins B1 and B6 as cofactors for the successful conversion of L-tryptophan to serotonin.

L-tryptophan is also known as the "feel-good" amino acid. Your body needs your help to produce it, as it cannot synthesize this important building block on its own. L-tryptophan is found primarily in protein-rich foods. Incidentally, this substance is the reason behind the belief that chocolate makes you happy.
This amino acid plays an important role in your body. It is used to produce the happiness hormone serotonin. Furthermore, this amino acid is a precursor to melatonin, which is often referred to as the sleep hormone.
Low serotonin/melatonin levels are indicative of depressive moods and sleep disturbances. Vitamins B1 and B6 are required for serotonin synthesis.
