L-Tryptophan

Only L-Tryptophan can increase your body's supply of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that lets your mind be calm in the face of overwhelming tension, anxiety and uncertainty. Only L-Tryptophan promotes the natural, restful sleep that comes when you have enough serotonin. And, only L-Tryptophan is the essential building block for many life-giving biomolecules, including structural proteins, enzymes and the neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.

Bios Biochemicals/Lidtke manufactures the only LTryptophan on the market that:

Bios Biochemicals/Lidtke is serious about OVI's (Organic Volatile Impurities). OVI's are chemical solvents such as acetone, toluene, ether and hexane that are frequently used in manufacturing. Consumers, in fact, would be amazed how often such solvents are used in the manufacturing of "natural" products. Except in rare cases, no government agency tests food supplements before they reach the public.

New evidence of cell to cell communication

L-Tryptophan supplements have been widely used to correct deficiencies for more than a quarter of a century by doctors in the United States and Europe. Recent research has shown that the communication between cells of your body is far more intricate and important than ever imagined. Everything from your mood to your appetite is based on the free-flow of information between these cells. Serotonin is one of the most abundant cell-to-cell communicators, called neurotransmitters, in your body, and only L-Tryptophan is the essential amino acid that makes serotonin. Since serotonin is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters, and L-Tryptophan is the least abundant amino acid, supplementation is often required to maintain optimal health.

L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP...Far From Equal

5HTP serves only one known function, that is, as a stepping stone to the production of serotonin.  And while L-Tryptophan can be converted to 5HTP, as well as a host of other life-critical biomolecules, 5HTP cannot be converted back to L-Tryptophan. Hence, 5HTP cannot replace L-Tryptophan and cannot be used by cells to do the work of L-Tryptophan.

Furthermore, the body has little control over the speed at which 5HTP converts to serotonin.  L-Tryptophan may be better in this regard because the enzyme that converts L-Tryptophan to 5HTP is like a faucet that the body can turn on or off, as needed.  The bottom line is that serotonin is made only as needed when L-Tryptophan is used.  By contrast, the body has less control over 5HTP.

How physicians recommend taking L-Tryptophan

For occasional sleeplessness, many respected physicians have their patients take two 500 mg capsules an hour before bedtime sometimes adding an extra capsule right at bedtime for those who have trouble staying asleep. L-Tryptophan can also help those who fall asleep readily, but occasionally wake-up too early. A capsule or two by the bedside, that can be easily taken, has been a real life-saver for those nights when you're stirred awake at three A.M.

To support a good mood, L-Tryptophan can be taken at any time of the day, but it's most commonly taken in the evening. After all, a good night's sleep is often the crucial first step towards chasing away depression. For a great mood, to relieve premenstrual symptoms and to break the cycle of muscle pain from exercise, knowledgeable physicians suggest starting with two capsules, then increasing the dose to one capsule for every 50 pounds of body weight.
