L-Tryptophan 500 mg

Regular and quality sleep is crucial for well-being.

Sleep is an important part of our day - although we are inactive during that time, our body needs it to function normally throughout the day. While we sleep, our body performs many important processes, including cell renewal, strengthening the immune system, regulating metabolism, organizing memories, and balancing hormones.

Regular and quality sleep can improve physical and mental well-being, increase productivity, and improve mood, so it is important to take the time for an adequate amount of sleep and maintain regular sleep habits.

L-tryptophan - an amino acid that is involved in the production of melatonin and serotonin.

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which, like other amino acids, is an important building block of proteins, and also plays a key role in the production of 2 hormones - it is their precursor. These are:

• Serotonin or happiness hormone - a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in transmitting signals between nerve cells in the brain and nervous system, and in other parts of the body. It affects various functions of the body, such as mood, sleep, appetite, memory, and more.
• Melatonin, or the sleep hormone, regulates our circadian or day-night rhythm. Its level begins to rise in the evening when the sun sets, as it depends on light - it is produced more in the dark, and less in the light.

L-tryptophan can be consumed to a certain extent through diet, it is abundant in protein-rich foods, such as poultry, dairy products, fish, seeds and nuts, beets, chickpeas, and tofu.
