L-TRYPTOPHAN 500MG

Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is the precursor to serotonin, which is a necessary neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting nerve impulses in the brain, and inducing sleep and tranquility.  Serotonin deficiencies, which are related to tryptophan deficiencies, are well documented in cases of depression and insomnia.  Tryptophan also converts to niacin, and vitamin b-6 (pyridoxal 5'phophate) is necessary for tryptophan metabolism and conversion to serotonin.  The dietary sources of tryptophan are cottage cheese, milk, brown rice, peanuts, meat, turkey and soy products.  It is also available in supplemental form.  In 1989 contaminated tryptophan (from an inferior source no longer in business) was responsible for a disorder known as ems. 

Tryptophan is very important for biochemical balance of the brain, and is very helpful for those with sleep deprivation, anxiety and mood enhancement due to low serotonin levels.  It also helps to biochemical balance the brain in those whose serotonin levels are low because of chemical addictions.  It has also been effective in appetite control, increasing pain tolerance and assisting those with jet lag.
