what is L-Tryptophan?

The chemical formula of tryptophan is C11H12N2O2. It appears as white or slightly yellow crystals or crystalline powder, is odorless, and tastes slightly bitter. It is slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in ethanol, easily soluble in formic acid, and soluble in sodium hydroxide solution or dilute hydrochloric acid. Tryptophan is widely present in plant and animal foods, especially in meat, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and beans.

What is the function of L-Tryptophan?

‌1,Synthesis of neurotransmitters‌: Tryptophan is a precursor to the synthesis of serotonin (5-HT), an important neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, sleep cycles, appetite, and pain perception. Altered serotonin levels have been linked to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. In addition, melatonin is further converted from serotonin and is responsible for regulating the body's circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.
‌2,Synthesis of vitamin B3‌: Tryptophan is also a precursor to the synthesis of niacin (vitamin B3), which is essential for the body's energy metabolism, DNA repair, and maintaining the health of the skin, digestive system, and nervous system.
‌3,Improving sleep quality‌: Due to its relationship with serotonin and melatonin, tryptophan is thought to help improve sleep quality and patterns. Some studies have shown that tryptophan supplementation may be beneficial for insomnia symptoms.
