Product description
Product description
The feel-good amino acid: L-tryptophan
There is a reason why L-tryptophan is called the feel-good amino acid. Your body cannot produce this essential amino acid itself, which is why an adequate intake through your diet is necessary. L-tryptophan is found mainly in protein-rich foods. Incidentally, this substance is also responsible for the widespread belief that chocolate improves mood.
L-tryptophan performs important functions in your body. It serves as the starting material for the formation of the happiness hormone serotonin. In addition, this amino acid acts as a precursor to melatonin, often referred to as the sleep hormone.
- L-tryptophan is a starting material for serotonin and melatonin. To convert L-tryptophan into serotonin, your body needs vitamins B1 and B6 as cofactors.

The amino acid plays an important role in your body, which uses it to produce the happiness hormone serotonin. The amino acid is also the precursor of melatonin, often referred to as the sleep hormone.
