What is L-Tryptophan?
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce and must be obtained through diet or supplements. It serves as a direct precursor to serotonin, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation, and to melatonin, the hormone that governs the sleep-wake cycle. This makes L-Tryptophan an important nutrient for mental well-being, stress management, and sleep support.

Additionally, L-Tryptophan plays a role in protein synthesis, immune function, and niacin (vitamin B3) production. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and animal feed, particularly for swine and poultry to reduce stress and improve feed intake.

Our L-Tryptophan is manufactured via non-GMO microbial fermentation, meeting high purity standards suitable for human and veterinary use.
