L-tryptophan is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of essential amino acids, i.e. those that cannot be synthesized in the body and must be supplied from a balanced diet (it can be found in plant and animal proteins). It is also one of the least abundant amino acids in the body. This does not mean, however, that it plays an unimportant role - on the contrary, it is a key element in many metabolic pathways.
L-tryptophan enters into proteins and is an important element in the pathways of niacin and cinurenine metabolism. In addition, it acts in our body as a precursor of 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP), which is then used to produce serotonin, which in turn can be converted to melatonin. Serotonin, commonly referred to as the "happy hormone," is a very important neurotransmitter of the central nervous system (CNS), involved in regulating mood, appetite or sleep, among other things. Melatonin, on the other hand, is mainly involved in regulating the diurnal rhythm of sleep and wakefulness.
In summary, Aliness L-Tryptophan is a dietary supplement containing L-tryptophan in vegan capsules, in an optimal dose.
