What is tryptophan?

Tryptophan is an essential Amino Acid. Tryptophan is a component of many plant and animal proteins, and a normal part of the diet that humans must get from outside sources. It is a precursor (starting material) for serotonin from which our brains make serotonin, which is then used to calm you down and make you sleepy. Tryptophan also helps in niacin (B vitamins) production.
L-tryptophan, in substantial quantities, is a natural sedative. It is normally found in turkey meat, and many people believe it to be the cause of a sleepiness common after a Thanksgiving feast.

Fights Depression

Tryptophan gets converted, in the body and brain, into 5-HTP which then converts into serotonin, an important brain neurotransmitter that helps control mood, appetite, and sleep. Serotonin, in turn, acts as a raw ingredient in the manufacturing of a potent sleep-inducing hormone, Melatonin.
