L-tryptophan for mood and sleep

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that your body cannot produce itself. You must obtain it through food or supplements. This amino acid is the building block for serotonin, also known as the "happiness hormone," and indirectly also for melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle.

From tryptophan to serotonin

The conversion process occurs in steps: L-tryptophan is first converted to 5-HTP, which is then converted to serotonin. Serotonin influences your mood, emotions, appetite and self-confidence. When it gets dark, your body converts serotonin into melatonin, making you sleepy and helping you fall asleep.

Why include vitamin B6?

This supplement contains vitamin B6 alongside 400 mg of L-tryptophan. This vitamin is essential for the conversion of L-tryptophan to serotonin. Without sufficient B6, your body cannot efficiently utilize the amino acid. Additionally, vitamin B6 contributes to normal nervous system function and helps reduce fatigue.

When to use L-tryptophan?

L-tryptophan can provide support for sleep problems, when you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. It can also help when you feel down or emotionally out of balance. Some people use it after an intensive period or night out to restore serotonin levels.

Dosage and intake

For sleep support, take the capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, preferably on an empty stomach with fruit juice. The sugars in fruit juice help L-tryptophan cross the blood-brain barrier. With 90 capsules of 400 mg, you have an ample supply for daily use for one and a half to three months, depending on your personal dosage.

Instructions for use

Take 1 to 2 capsules daily on an empty stomach, with fruit juice (sugars promote transport through the blood-brain barrier). Do not take with milk or other protein-rich liquids.

For sleep support: Take 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

After intense partying: Take 1 capsule before sleeping and 1 capsule upon waking.

Ingredients

L-tryptophan, capsule (gelatin), vitamin B6.

Per capsule:

  • L-tryptophan: 400 mg

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between L-tryptophan and 5-HTP? L-tryptophan is the precursor of 5-HTP. Your body first converts L-tryptophan to 5-HTP, which is then converted to serotonin. L-tryptophan therefore works more gradually than 5-HTP.

Can I use L-tryptophan during the day? Yes, you can use it during the day for mood support. For sleep support, evening use is more effective.

Why should I take it with fruit juice? The sugars in fruit juice help L-tryptophan cross the blood-brain barrier. Proteins (like in milk) can actually hinder this process.

How long until I notice effects? Effects on sleep may be noticeable within a few days. For mood support, it may take several weeks.

Can I combine L-tryptophan with 5-HTP? This is not recommended. Both supplements increase serotonin production and using them together can lead to excessively high serotonin levels.

Warnings

Important: NEVER combine L-tryptophan with:

  • MAO inhibitors
  • SSRIs and other antidepressants
  • 5-HTP supplements
  • Other serotonin-increasing substances

This can lead to serotonin syndrome, a serious condition.

Furthermore:

  • Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years
  • Consult a doctor if using medication or with health problems
  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage
  • Take a 3-week break after 7 weeks of use

Storage advice

Store in a dry, cool place, protected from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
