Q&A

Frequently asked questions

Can I take L-Tryptophan daily?
Yes, L-Tryptophan is an essential dietary amino acid. Daily supplementation is safe and effective when used in courses of 1 to 3 months within recommended doses.
Why should L-Tryptophan be taken without protein?
Dietary protein contains abundant competing amino acids that block tryptophan's access to the brain. Consuming it with a small amount of carbohydrates (and no protein) clears the transport pathway.
