BioTech Tryptophan 60 Capsules

One capsule of BioTechUSA L-Tryptophan supplement (60 capsules) contains 500 mg of L-Tryptophan.

Ideally, BioTechUSA L-Tryptophan capsules should be taken once daily with a glass of water before bedtime. At the recommended daily dose of one capsule, a container of 60 capsules will last for 60 days (approximately two months).

BioTechUSA L-Tryptophan is not suitable for a vegan diet because the capsule shell is made of gelatin. In addition to gelatin of animal origin, the capsule shell contains the coating agent shellac, colorants such as iron oxides and iron hydroxides, and the acidity regulators ammonium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that serves as a crucial building block for proteins and acts as a precursor for the production of the "happiness hormone" serotonin, the sleep hormone melatonin, and vitamin B3 (niacin). It thus regulates vital processes such as mood, the sleep-wake cycle, appetite, and pain perception. Since the human body cannot synthesize L-tryptophan itself, it must be obtained through external sources such as food or supplements to prevent a deficiency and resulting problems like sleep disorders or depressive moods.
