L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, a building block of protein. 'Essential' means that this amino acid has to be absorbed with food because the human organism can not produce this substance itself.L-tryptophan is present in certain foods such as bananas, potatoes, soya, quinoa, rice and eggs. But sometimes you need a bit extra and that’s when these capsules are ideal.
L-Tryptophan Food Supplement
L-Tryptophan capsules are a food supplement and a precursor to the production of the substance Serotonin. The amino acid is combined with magnesium and vitamin B6, two substances that are involved in the transformation of L-Tryptophan into the neurotransmitter Serotonin. A balanced Serotonin level in our body ensures a calm and balanced mood. L-Tryptophan is also known of its sleep-inducing effect because it increases the production of melatonin. In addition, these capsules give you a relaxed and mildly euphoric feeling.
Tuesday dip? Increasing Serotonin with L-Tryptophan
Been partying hard and therefore suffering from a Tuesday dip? Then one of the things you might be short of is serotonin. This happens because your body produces and uses up a lot of serotonin when you take certain drugs such as MDMA or XTC. As the drugs work themselves through, certain receptors in your body disengage and you suffer from a serotonin deficiency. The result: a Tuesday dip or XTC dip. In order to avoid the Tuesday dip, you can start taking L-tryptophan capsules to increase your serotonin before the dip begins.
L-Tryptophan or 5-HTP?
Just like L-Tryptophan, you can also utilise 5-HTP (recommended product) for raising your serotonin level. It’s easier to take L-Tryptophan with food and it can increase the synthesis of vital proteins and vitamins. On the other hand, 5-HTP is absorbed faster by your brain. But would you like to prevent the Tuesday dip in the most natural way possible? Then use these L-Tryptophan capsules.
L-Tryptophan Dosage and Use
Only to be used by persons aged over 18 as a nutritional supplement. Not in combination with products that contain protein.
- Compensate for Tuesday dip or increase serotonin with L-Tryptophan: take a maximum of 2 to 4 capsules with water per 24 hour period. Do not exceed the daily recommended dosage. Use L-Tryptophan capsules before the dip starts but not until after 24 hours from when you last used drugs!
- For improving sleep at night: Take 1-2 capsules, 30 to 45 minutes before going to bed.
Is L-tryptophan Dangerous? Watch out for Serotonin Syndrome
Is L-tryptophan dangerous? Not as long as you use it in the correct manner. Keep to the recommended maximum dosage of 4 capsules a day. But also very important: don’t use within 24 hours from when you last used drugs! This can lead to an excessive quantity of serotonin in your brain: the serotonin syndrome. This is life-threatening! Keep to these rules for usage.
