HealthWise® L-Tryptophan

L-Tryptophan and 5 HTP are known precursors to certain neurotransmitters such as Seratonin, manufactured in the brain and GI tract. L-Tryptophan absorption can be enhanced by supplementation with B group vitamins.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It is the precursor to 5-hydroxytrypophan (5-HTP) which is the direct precursor to serotonin. Serotonin is important for mood and sleep; when it is deficient, this can lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia, and various other neuropsychological conditions. L Tryptophan works in about 50% of insomnia cases.  Tryptophan is the precursor for vitamin B3 in the form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Only about 1/60th of the tryptophan in the body is actually converted to NAD.
