L-Tryptophan (CAS No. 73-22-3) is an essential aromatic amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from external sources. It is also the only amino acid containing an indole ring structure.
It acts as a core precursor for the synthesis of serotonin, melatonin and niacin (Vitamin B3) in the human body. Meanwhile, it participates in protein synthesis, makes up for insufficient amino acids in grains and dairy products, and enhances daily nutritional intake.
Produced by biological fermentation with purity ≥99%, free of impurities from chemical synthesis.
Good water solubility; compatible with magnesium, glycine and creatine. Suitable for tablets, powder blends, oral liquids and other dosage forms.
Free samples available. Compliant with ISO and FDA standards.
