L-Tryptophan 500mg

What is Doctor's Best L-tryptophan with TryptoPure?

L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is not synthesized by the body and must be obtained through dietary sources. Doctor's Best L-tryptophan contains TryptoPure, a highly purified pharmaceutical-grade L-tryptophan that meets the purity standards of both the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) and the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).

How does it work?

L-tryptophan is an important building block for protein synthesis. It also acts as a biochemical precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter. Serotonin is synthesized from L-tryptophan via tryptophan hydroxylase. Serotonin can then be converted to melatonin, a neurohormone, via N-acetyltransferase and 5-hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase. Niacin, vitamin B3, is also synthesized from L-tryptophan. Tryptophan's benefit for sleep is due to serotonin production. Serotonin is also required for early brain development, emotional maturity, memory, and other cognitive functions, as well as for managing fear and stress, healthy sleep patterns, and a healthy mood. Serotonin is also the main source for melatonin, the body's primary sleep hormone.

Why should I take Doctor's Best L-Tryptophan with TryptoPure?

Sleep is an absolute necessity for maintaining good health. Sufficient quantity and quality of sleep are crucial for preserving the body's energy, maintaining a healthy mood, cognitive function, and supporting physical function overall.
