Can L-Tryptophan Help Me Sleep Better?
Maintaining healthy sleep cycles is a serious challenge for many, and healthy serotonin production can be a significant key. Tryptophan converts to serotonin helping to encourage relaxation and naturally supporting healthy sleep cycles. Two capsules 30 minutes prior to bedtime are recommended. If necessary, L-Tryptophan can be taken during the night. For additional support, tryptophan may be taken in early evening and again at bedtime. Vitamin B-6, along with increasing dietary complex carbohydrates, are other important steps for promoting proper metabolism and increasing effectiveness.*
Can L-Tryptophan Help Enhance My Mood?
It has been well documented that healthy serotonin levels and healthy tryptophan levels are associated with stable mood. Tryptophan naturally converts to seratonin, a neurotransmitter. If your health care provider recommends taking tryptophan in a regimen along with tyrosine, it is recommended that tryptophan be taken prior to dinner and again prior to bedtime. Tyrosine should be taken prior to breakfast and mid morning as well. This is because the two supplements compete for uptake in the brain and because tryptophan promotes relaxation and healthy sleep.*
Can L-Tryptophan Help With Healthy Weight Management?
Some studies suggest that tryptophan helps support a balanced appetite, for those who are following a healthy weight management and exercise program.*
Can L-Tryptophan Help With Jet Lag?
Supplementing with L-tryptophan is recommended for those who travel and experience jet lag. It is most effective when taken in conjunction with L-tyrosine to enhance catecholamine as well as serotonin production.*

Pros: None Cons: None "Personally I take both 5-HTP and L-tryptophan because every amino acid profile I have done has shown that I was deficient in tryptophan. The body converts tryptophan to numerous substances including serotonin. 5-HTP is the most efficient means of doing this but will not substitute for tryptophan in all of the body's metabolic pathways."

Background Information:
Healthy restful sleep is often tied to serotonin production. Without serotonin, your body cannot produce melatonin—which regulates your sleep cycles. A compromise in this regulation may lead to sleeplessness and frequent wakenings.*
Healthy serotonin levels may also be associated with stable healthy mood.*
Tryptophan converts into the serotonin that your body needs. If you are not getting enough tryptophan in your diet, you might want to consider a high quality tryptophan supplement.*
Pure L-Tryptophan from FTH Nutraceuticals, a pharmaceutical-grade tryptophan, helps enhance your serotonin levels so you feel your best. Especially important for those with multiple health challenges and goals, Pure L-Tryptophan may help support more restful sleep and maintain your emotional well-being.*
You may also want to consider 5-HTP, an advanced form of tryptophan. Just one biochemical step away from conversion to serotonin, 5-HTP is often recommended to support serotonin levels.*
To get the maximum benefits of tryptophan, you may want to supplement with both Pure L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP. Many doctors recommend both because healthy tryptophan levels cannot always be successfully maintained by 5-HTP alone. Tryptophan is used in other metabolic pathways where 5-HTP will not be used. Using both may be the vital puzzle piece you need to help you feel your best.*
Is L-Tryptophan Safe?
For more than thirty years, volumes of research have been published on the effectiveness and safety on the supplementation of tryptophan for health challenges related to restful sleep, stable mood, healthy pain tolerance, and other benefits. However, in 1989 a disorder known as EMS was attributed to a contaminated batch of tryptophan produced by a Japanese company and distributed to many other companies for sale.*
FTH Nutraceuticals supplies only the highest quality pure L-tryptophan which has been carefully evaluated and scrutinized using HPLC testing. This product does not have any contaminates or peak-X abnormalities and it has been safely used for many years to benefit those who wish to support healthy tryptophan and Serotonin levels!*
