L Tryptophan 1000mg - 60 Tabs

The Importance of Tryptophan

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own. Therefore, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Tryptophan is critical for the production of serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin helps to support a positive mood, while melatonin regulates healthy sleep patterns. Proper levels of both are also necessary for proper immune system function.*

Tryptophan is found in many common foods, such as turkey, cheese, eggs, and nuts. However, the body's ability to absorb tryptophan from food decreases as we age. Furthermore, many factors can deplete the body's stores of tryptophan, such as stress, lack of sleep, and excessive exercise.* Supplementing with L-tryptophan can help to ensure that your body has enough of this important amino acid.

NOW Foods offers a high-quality L-tryptophan supplement that is free of peak E and microbial contamination. This product can help to support a healthy mood, proper sleep patterns, and a strong immune system.*

Adding a high-quality L-tryptophan supplement to your daily routine can help ensure that your body has enough of this important amino acid. NOW Foods' L-tryptophan is a great option that is free of contaminants.* Adding this supplement to your diet can help support a positive mood*, proper sleep patterns*, and a strong immune system.*
