L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that our bodies cannot produce naturally. Therefore, we must obtain it through diet or supplementation. It serves as a building block for proteins and plays a critical role in several bodily functions. Once consumed, L-tryptophan is converted to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, appetite, and sleep. In addition, L-tryptophan is a precursor to melatonin, a hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. These conversions are facilitated by certain enzymes in our bodies.
L-tryptophan is used in our nouxx BLOODY BERRY.
