L-Tryptophan (500 mg - 90 vegetarian capsules)

L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in supporting the body's natural processes for healthy sleep, positive mood, stress management and satiety. As a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and well-being, L-Tryptophan helps maintain balance in the nervous system and digestive tract.

Benefits of L-Tryptophan

• Supports healthy sleep patterns by promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
• Contributes to a positive mood by supporting the production of serotonin in the brain.
• Helps regulate the body's natural stress response.
• Promotes satiety, which can be beneficial for weight control.
• Provides a safe and pure source of L-Tryptophan with 500 mg per capsule.

Product description
Serotonin, known as the "happiness hormone," is essential for maintaining good sleep, a balanced mood, and overall well-being. To produce serotonin, the body requires L-Tryptophan, an essential amino acid that must be supplied through diet or supplements. L-Tryptophan from Life Extension is made from first-class raw materials that have undergone strict production processes to ensure high purity and safety.

This supplement is specially formulated to support tryptophan levels within the normal range, with 500 mg of L-Tryptophan per capsule. L-Tryptophan contributes to the production of serotonin, which in turn can be converted into melatonin – a hormone that regulates sleep.
