What is L-Tryptophan?
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in foods such as dairy products,
soy products, meats, poultry, nuts, eggs, seeds, fruit, whole grains, and
seafood. An amino acid is a building block for forming muscles and other tissues
in your body. It is considered “essential” meaning that your body cannot
manufacture L-Tryptophan on its own and must be obtained through diet or quality
supplementation. Your brain turns the L-Tryptophan into serotonin, a
neurotransmitter that controls mood, hunger, thirst, and sleep.

contaminants, and Certified “peak X” and “peak E” free.
How Does L-Tryptophan Work?
Meridian Naturals L-Tryptophan for mood support The actions of proteolytic
enzymes on proteins during the digestive process forms L-Tryptophan and then it
is converted into 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) within the body. 5-HTP in turn can
be converted into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter within the brain.
Serotonin can may beneficially impact mood, appetite and sleep patterns. Once
serotonin is made, the pineal gland is able to convert it at night into
melatonin, a neurohormone that also helps regulate sleep-wake rhythms. Low
serotonin levels in the brain have been associated with poor mental health and
sleep patterns. Supplementing with L-tryptophan may help raise serotonin levels,
promoting better mood, relaxation and rest.
