L-Tryptophan is a natural amino acid that is the precursor to
serotonin and melatonin, which is a neurohormone that affects the body’s ability
to sleep, relax and feel good. It plays a part in the synthesis of both
melatonin and serotonin, hormones involved with mood and stress response. L-Tryptophan
also supports immune functions because it is the body's precursor to the
kynurenines that regulate immunity. If needed, L-Tryptophan coverts to
niacin in the body, which supports circulation, a healthy nervous system, the
metabolism of food, and the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive
system. |
