L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid and a precursor to serotonin and melatonin in the body. Melatonin has a positive influence on the human circadian rhythm. Serotonin is also known as the "happiness hormone". Thus, L-tryptophan maintains mood. This amino acid is responsible for for other important biochemical reactions. It affects the quality of sleep and recovery after physical and mental exertion. Supports immunity, mental activity and memory. The reduction of aggressive behavior and the elimination of anxiety after taking L-tryptophan is explained by its effect on neurotransmitters, which provoke the development of mental disorders. Mattisson's vegetarian L-tryptophan capsules also contain vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 is involved in immune function and helps the body use and store proteins and carbohydrates from food as glycogen. It is essential for over 100 different enzyme reactions. It promotes the formation of hemoglobin and helps red blood cells carry oxygen through the blood. Stimulates neurotransmitters and hormones that affect mood and regulate the body's biological clock.
Action of L-tryptophan
Inadequate intake of protein foods and other factors can lead to a decrease in the level of amino acids in the body, which provokes a number of negative health consequences.
L-tryptophan is an important amino acid that influences many biochemical processes. The main reasons for the increased role of L-tryptophan are that on the one hand this substance is necessary for protein synthesis and the construction of protein structures, and on the other hand, it participates in a number of important functions of the body. When the intake of amino acids is insufficient, most of the substance is allocated to other general processes, such as the synthesis of melatonin, serotonin, as well as other biochemical reactions are slowed down.
Main functions of L-tryptophan in the human body
• Participates in the synthesis of vitamin B3 (niacin);
• It is necessary for the production of serotonin;
• It is needed for the synthesis of melatonin;
• Supports the immune system;
• Improves mental activity, memory and cognitive functions;
• Increases concentration and focus, improves learning;
• Reduces the risk of spasm of the heart muscle and other tissues;
• Normalizes cholesterol levels (together with lysine);
• Participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins;
• Normalizes appetite and reduces the feeling of hunger;
• Supports gastrointestinal health;
• May aid recovery after a hard workout;
• Due to its ability to promote restful sleep, it can address insomnia and reduce fatigue;
• Used to support the treatment of depression, it increases the ability of the central nervous system to cope with stress.
