l-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid readily converted by the body to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, l-tryptophan is altered by enzymes to first form the intermediate amino acid 5-htp and then serotonin. It is also the metabolic precursor to melatonin and to the b vitamin niacin. Supplementing the diet with pure l-tryptophan can improve sleep and enhance mood, and may also be beneficial in reducing carbohydrate cravings. L-Tryptophan also supports immune functions because it is in the body's precursor to the kynurenines that regulate immunity. If needed, L-tryptophan converts to niacin in the body, which supports circulation, a healthy nervous system, the metabolism of food, and the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system A healthy body needs L-Tryptophan to improve sleep, enhance mood and also promote immune system efficiency. TOP BENEFITS: Encourages a Healthy Sleep Pattern, Support a Positive Mood and Relaxation, Reduces Anxiety and Decreases Appetite, Proper Immune System Function, Effective in Combating Depression, Encourage Weight Loss

I got these pills because I have pretty low serotonin levels and did a little research to see what I can take to help. Apparently tryptophan is one of the chemicals that create serotonin. It's an essential amino acid, so I must not be getting enough from my meals (though that's a whole different topic). I've also been taking 5-HTP to help me as well. I can't be positive that this is helping me but it seems to be. I feel comfortable saying that I do feel better after taking it. It's not a huge change in my mentality but I do feel as if I'm a little happier. I have been using it alone and with other 5-htp products, and that overall pleasantness is apparent in both cases. I'm sure it's good for other things as well so I would recommend at least trying it once. I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. The discounted nature of this product in no way influences or otherwise affects this review.

Improved focus and deeper sleeping...
I had only ever heard of tryptophan as the main chemical in Thanksgiving turkey that makes you sleepy and since I have trouble sleeping I started researching what may work. Again it popped up and so I thought I would try it.I wanted to wait several days before writing my review because sometimes things work very well for a few days but then stop. This has NOT b een my experience with this product. I take it in the morning after breakfast (the directions say to take it after a full meal) and it has really made a difference for me. I am able to focus better and I'm waking up much less often at night. I am not a fan of large pills but these capsuls are small and very easy for me to swallow.No side effects or negatives to report so I am giving it five stars.I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

First off the dosage and quantity of these capsules is perfect so you don't have to end up buying a new bottle every few weeks, so I love that. I've noticed over the last couple weeks that my moodiness in the morning has definitely gone down. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning my head feels sort of cloudy, but after taking Tryptophan before bed, I've realized no matter what time I end up waking up, that cloudiness isn't as present. I have to say I do take this in conjunction with St. Johns Wort so I can't tell what percentage of the effect I'm feeling is related to either that or this supplement. Also I haven't really found a difference with how easy/quickly it is for me to fall asleep while taking this. Overall I think it's a great supplement to any diet, and the dosing/quantity of this product is superior to the competition. This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Good for stress, but label needs to be redone
I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. The capsules don't have a bad smell or after taste, which ir really good considering my previous experience with some supplements. I've had the recommended daily dose for over a week and I've felt that my stress levels have decreased. The reason why I'm not awarding this product 5 stars (despite its effectiveness) is because the label looks home made (it has an error) and that might be difficult to cope with for some people (considering it is something you are eating!)
