TRÜPTOFAAN contains L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid. Essential means the body cannot produce it on its own, so it has to come from food or supplements. L-tryptophan is one of the basic building blocks the body uses to make serotonin and, from serotonin, melatonin. Serotonin and melatonin are two naturally occurring compounds involved in mood, emotional balance, and the sleep–wake rhythm.
People may choose this supplement when they feel emotionally drained during a stressful period, notice mood swings in autumn and winter when daylight is limited, want a gentler alternative to sleeping pills or melatonin preparations, or follow a low-protein eating pattern and get limited tryptophan from food. Tryptophan is naturally present in turkey, cheese, eggs, nuts, and bananas, but a supplement gives a more stable and precisely measured amount than relying on food alone.
