L-Tryptophan 950 mg 57 g Powder

Everyone experiences sleepless nights from time to time, and they can be very frustrating - they affect both our mood and how we function during the day. In response to this problem, Now Foods has created L-Tryptophan 950 mg 57 g Powder dietary supplement! Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that the body does not produce it itself and it must be supplied with food. Its active form is an L-configuration molecule known as L-tryptophan. This compound is the starting point for the synthesis of many bioactive substances, including serotonin. It occurs naturally in various foods, but its supply can be further increased through supplementation – in this case, in a convenient powder form that eliminates the need to swallow tablets.

Tryptophan plays an important role in the body as a substrate for the production of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating the natural rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. Melatonin, synthesised mainly in the pineal gland, helps to maintain the proper functioning of our internal biological clock, which promotes easier falling asleep and peaceful sleep throughout the night. Over the years, its levels decrease, which is why middle-aged and elderly people are more likely to experience sleep difficulties and may benefit more from supplementation or increased tryptophan intake. In addition, melatonin and its precursor, tryptophan, can help alleviate symptoms associated with jet lag, such as fatigue and exhaustion after long journeys between different time zones. Tryptophan is also essential for the production of serotonin, often referred to as the "happiness hormone". Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a key neurotransmitter that affects mood, sense of well-being and overall mental health. In addition to its positive effect on mood, it is involved in learning and memory processes, regulates gastrointestinal function, and influences intestinal peristalsis and feelings of hunger and satiety. An adequate amount of tryptophan in your daily diet can therefore indirectly support healthy sleep, stable emotional well-being and the proper functioning of many body systems.

Choose L-tryptophan and support your body in a comprehensive way!
