Additionally, as a precursor of melatonin, serotonin is involved in regulating sleep patterns. Serotonin is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier and is therefore synthesized in the brain. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin. Tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which in turn is converted into serotonin. Vitamins B2 and B6, niacinamide and Vitamin C are necessary cofactors to ensure the proper synthesis of serotonin.
Studies indicate that supplementation with L-tryptophan may support healthy mood and restful sleep.* Other studies indicate L-tryptophan may support womens emotional well being before menstruation.* Additional research indicates L-tryptophan may be helpful in supporting healthy relaxation and occasional food cravings.
