PURE Tryptophan Capsules

Are you already familiar with the power of L-Tryptophan?

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that can be the key to healthy serotonin and melatonin balance.

Our capsules contain concentrated and pure L-Tryptophan, namely 250 mg, to optimally support your body.

Discover how L-Tryptophan can positively influence your sleep quality or naturally boost your serotonin levels and contribute to your overall wellbeing.

Let yourself be convinced by the positive effects and experience for yourself the benefits of our PURE L-Tryptophan Capsules.

What is L-Tryptophan?

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the human body cannot produce on its own, which is why it must be obtained through food.

It is an important building block for proteins and plays a crucial role in various biological processes.

L-Tryptophan is the precursor for the neurotransmitter hormone serotonin, often referred to as the "happiness hormone", and for melatonin, which is important for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It also influences the immune system and cognitive function.

Why is Tryptophan Important?

Amino acids, including tryptophan, are used as building blocks in protein biosynthesis – and proteins are necessary to sustain life.

Many animals (including humans) cannot synthesise tryptophan but must obtain it through food, which makes it an essential amino acid.

Tryptophan is among the rarer amino acids found in proteins, but whenever it occurs, it plays an important structural or functional role.

For example, tryptophan and tyrosine residues play a special role in the 'anchoring' of membrane proteins in the cell membrane.

Together with other aromatic amino acids, tryptophan is also important for the interactions between glycans and proteins.

Furthermore, tryptophan acts as a biochemical precursor for the following compounds:

• Serotonin: A neurotransmitter known as the "happiness hormone", synthesised through the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase.
  
• Melatonin: A neurohormone known as the "sleep hormone", is formed from serotonin.
  
• Kynurenine: Over 95% of tryptophan is metabolised to kynurenine, primarily through the immune system via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).
  
  The so-called kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism is disrupted in various diseases.
  
  Kynurenine and its further metabolic products perform various biological functions, including the dilation of blood vessels during inflammation and the regulation of the immune response.
  
• Niacin: Also known as Vitamin B3, is synthesised from tryptophan via kynurenine and quinolinic acids.

How Tryptophan Influences Serotonin Levels

Consuming carbohydrate- or protein-rich meals triggers the release of insulin.

Insulin in turn stimulates the uptake of large neutral branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), but not of tryptophan, into the muscles, which increases the ratio of tryptophan to BCAAs in the bloodstream.

The resulting increased tryptophan ratio reduces the competition at the amino acid transporter for large neutral amino acids, leading to increased uptake of tryptophan across the blood-brain barrier into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In the brain, tryptophan is then converted to serotonin.

The serotonin thus formed is subsequently further processed into melatonin, which is important for sleep.

Tryptophan from the PURE Range

As with all products in our PURE range, our tryptophan capsules contain only what's stated: tryptophan.

We omit magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide and similar additives – moreover, we offer a purely plant-based capsule shell.

The 90 capsules are ideally dosed at 250 mg per capsule.

Some other manufacturers offer products dosed at 500 mg of tryptophan per day; however, more is not always better, and at edubily we consider that tryptophan is already naturally obtained through food.

Through careful dosing, potential side effects are avoided.

The edubily L-Tryptophan Capsules are moreover small and easy to swallow and contain no fillers whatsoever. You receive only the purest tryptophan.

Can Side Effects Occur?

As a rule, L-Tryptophan does not cause side effects when taken in recommended doses.

However, if the suggested amount is significantly exceeded, sensitive individuals may experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and lightheadedness.

Warning: Special caution is required if antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or MAOIs are taken concurrently.

In such cases, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome, a serious medical complication. If taking these medications, L-Tryptophan should therefore not be used without prior medical consultation.
