Twenty of these amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body; these are referred to as \"fundamental amino acids.\" These fundamental amino acids can be further subdivided into the categories \"essential,\" \"semi-essential,\" and \"non-essential.\" L-tryptophan is considered an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it from other amino acids and is completely dependent on food to meet its daily needs.\u003cbr\u003e\r \u003cbr\u003eTryptophan is present in too small quantities in food to be used as a source for supplement production. Therefore, tryptophan for use in supplements is usually produced through a specially developed fermentation process. Microorganisms can synthesize tryptophan themselves, and this property is utilized in this process. This process produces the natural L-form of tryptophan. The synthetic D-form is ineffective and can reduce the bioavailability of the natural L-form. Supplementation with D-tryptophan is therefore not recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tryptophan is the precursor of niacin (vitamin B3), 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), the neurotransmitter serotonin, and the hormone melatonin, among other things. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, but is susceptible to competition from other amino acids. Therefore, a tryptophan supplement should preferably be taken on an empty stomach, separately from other amino acids.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompound\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:500px\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition per capsule (daily dose):\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e L-Tryptophan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e L-tryptophan, rice concentrate (oryza sativa), vegetarian capsule (pullalan, from fermented starch), rice extract (oryza sativa).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a dietary supplement for adults, take 1 capsule daily between meals (at least half an hour before or two hours after a meal) or at bedtime with water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NB:\u003cbr\u003e If you are taking medications that affect brain metabolism, such as antidepressants and tranquilizers, consult your doctor or pharmacist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage instructions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store dry, closed and at room temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vitals Nutritional Supplements,\n Reply number 894,\n 1500 VB Zaandam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This product is a dietary supplement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Do not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
