Product Description

Doctor's Best L-Tryptophan 500mg, 90 vegicaps

Doctors Best L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid (protein building block) in human nutrition. Essential amino acids are not synthesized by the body and must be obtained in the diet. The L-Tryptophan in this product is manufactured and tested for purity according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards.

Research

Many people found tryptophan to be a safe and reasonably effective sleep aid, probably due to its ability to increase brainlevels of serotonin(a calming neurotransmitterwhen present in moderate levels) and/or melatonin(a sleep-inducing hormonesecreted by the pineal glandin response to darkness or low light levels). Clinical research tended to confirm tryptophan's effectiveness as a natural sleep aid and for a growing variety of other conditions typically associated with low serotonin levels or activity in the brain. (Particularly work by Dr. Richard Wurtmanat MIT). In particular, tryptophan showed considerable promise as an antidepressantalone, and as an "augmenter" of antidepressantdrugs. Other promising indications included relief of chronic painand reduction of impulsive, violent, manic, addictive, obsessive, or compulsivebehaviours and disorders.
