What is Tryptophan?

Tryptophan (L-Tryptophan) is an essential amino acid that is necessary for making proteins.  Your body does not produce it, so you need to get it from your diet or supplement with Tryptophan powder.  It is naturally found in red meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy.

Tryptophan is important for many organs in the body.  After we eat Tryptophan, the body converts some to 5-HTP (5-HydroxyTryptophan) and then into the neurotransmitter serotonin.  The body also converts some Tryptophan to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), which is why Tryptophan is also considered a dietary source of Niacin.

Some people use Tryptophan for severe PMS symptoms, depression, insomnia, anxiety, sleep disorders and many other conditions.  You can find Tryptophan is tablet or powder form.

Caution:  Tryptophan can cause some side effects such as drowsiness, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, blurry vision, and others.  Tryptophan is a chief neurotransmitter in the brain and may adversely react with any neurally active prescription medication or anti-depressants.

* Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 15 years of age and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

 

Use & Benefits:

There are a number of health benefits from supplementing with Tryptophan or taking foods with the naturally occurring Tryptophan.  Most of these health benefits come from the potential increase of Niacin, thus increasing serotonin.  The benefits from more serotonin include:  healthier and better quality sleep, relief from depression and anxiety, increased emotional well-being, strengthened pain tolerance.

Tryptophan is commonly used to assist insomnia sufferers and sleep disorders like sleep apnoea.  However, there’s not enough evidence to determine whether this is an effective use.  More research needs to be done to see if Tryptophan is safe to treat any of these conditions.

Tryptophan has been noted as possibly effective for helping to relieve premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).  Some older research suggests that Tryptophan may be effective for smoking cessation, as well.

Before supplementing with Tryptophan, we strongly suggest you consult your doctor or health care professional first, before taking Tryptophan powder.
