Produktinformationen
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid
Eight amino acids are indispensable for the structure and function of our bodies. One of them is the amino acid tryptophan, biologically available in its natural form, L-Tryptophan. The body cannot produce it itself, so we must obtain it through our diet.
L-Tryptophan is the precursor of niacin (vitamin B3), which plays a role in metabolism, and of the neurotransmitters serotonin ("feel-good hormone") and melatonin ("sleep hormone"). The lipophilic L-Tryptophan can cross the blood–brain barrier and thus directly contribute to the production of these neurotransmitters in the brain, where they primarily exert their effects.
The purely plant-based L-Tryptophan from Unimedica is enclosed and protected by a plant-derived capsule shell, making the capsules suitable for vegans.
Plant-based L-Tryptophan from fermentation
Unimedica's L-Tryptophan capsules are produced by the natural, purely plant-based fermentation of rice. No synthetic solvents or other undesirable substances are used.
Why does the body need tryptophan?
L-Tryptophan is an essential aromatic amino acid that is vital to our bodies. Amino acids form proteins, the building blocks for the structure of our bodies, and enzymes that act as catalysts for bodily processes such as metabolism.
As a precursor of two neurotransmitters, L-Tryptophan supports the formation of serotonin. This neurotransmitter, also known as the "feel-good hormone," influences our mood. L-Tryptophan is also involved in the production of melatonin, which regulates our sleep cycle.
Natural sources of tryptophan
Tryptophan is also found in foods such as pumpkin seeds, soybeans, cheese and turkey. However, these natural sources can vary in terms of dosage and purity. Unimedica's L-Tryptophan capsules offer a concentrated and safe source of L-Tryptophan.
Each amber glass bottle contains 240 capsules. This corresponds to an eight-month supply.
