About L-tryptophan
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter closely linked to positive mood and restorative sleep. (1-3) To produce and sustain healthy serotonin levels, your body needs the essential amino acid tryptophan, but it cannot make it on its own.
Sleep, stress & satiety
Research shows that tryptophan supports healthy sleep cycles and mood. (2,5,6) It also contributes to a balanced stress response. (7) Moreover, it's shown to promote satiety, which is the feeling of fullness. (8)
