What is L-tryptophan?

Tryptophan is one of the amino acids that our body cannot produce itself. L-tryptophan is therefore an essential amino acid and we have to get it from food. In the bloodstream, tryptophan is converted to serotonin which is involved in processes that affect our mood and overall mental state. In addition, tryptophan plays a role in the metabolism of another important hormone - melatonin. That’s the one that governs our biological rhythms and its levels in the body determine the quality of sleep and restorative processes. Our body uses tryptophan to produce vitamin B3 that has an effect on the functioning of the nervous system, supports natural immunity, and affects our level of tiredness.

How did this supplement win us over?

• It steers clear of synthetic nonsense. The producer adheres to high standards and extracts all nutrients from real food. These capsules do not contain any anticaking agents, synthetic aromas, or colourants, so they deliver all micronutrients in the purest form and free from unnecessary additives. If it is necessary, they add natural ingredients such as vegetable cellulose or maltodextrin.
• They think green. The tubs are made of recyclable ecological material with a closable lid. This is a “green” kind of plastic made of a renewable material - sugar cane.
• They use only high-quality ingredients. This is the essence of Biogena’s philosophy. Whenever possible, they reach for ingredients in organic quality.
