Pure L-Tryptophan by FTH Nutraceuticals - 60 capsules

•L-Tryptophan has helped millions of people find a deeper, more relaxing sleep, and helps to reduce stress and physical pain.

•L-Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, which is deficient in depression and naturally enhances sleep. The increased serotonin production has also been helpful for those on weight reduction regimes, for those overcoming chemical additions, for anyone who needs more natural relaxation, and for those seeking an increase in pain tolerance.

•L-Tryptophan is especially helpful in achieving natural sleep. It should be taken 30 minutes before bedtime and can be taken during the night. Vitamin B-6 and complex carbohydrates increased the proper metabolism and effectiveness of this amino acid.

•L-Tryptophan is a natural mood enhancer. Low levels of this amino acid have been associated with depression. If depression also involves catecholamine biochemistry, then taking tryptophan in a regimen along with Tyrosine Plus is recommended.

•Since they compete for uptake in the brain, and because tryptophan helps to induce sleep, 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. For pain tolerance, Tryptophan is administered at a dose of 1-500 mg cap every 2 1/2 house (total 6 per day) which can result in a 50% reduction in pain intensity. This result may be increased by the addition of Vitamin B-6 and D-Phenylalanine.
