L-Tryptophane: Overview
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that must be obtained from food or supplements, as the body cannot produce it. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, and appetite. Tryptophan is also a precursor to melatonin, which is vital for sleep-wake cycles, and niacin (vitamin B3), essential for energy metabolism and cellular function.
L-Tryptophan is commonly found in high-protein foods such as turkey, chicken, eggs, dairy products, nuts, and seeds. It's often linked to promoting better sleep and mood enhancement due to its role in serotonin production. Tryptophan supplements are used to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, and insomnia. While generally safe, excessive supplementation can lead to side effects like nausea, dizziness, or serotonin syndrome in rare cases.
