NOW Foods – L-Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid; therefore, it is not synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet. Tryptophan is critical for the production of serotonin and melatonin, which help to support a positive mood, healthy sleep patterns, and proper immune system function. Every lot of NOW L-Tryptophan is tested to be free of peak E and microbial contamination.

I take it about an hour before going to bed and I sleep very well on it. Even after waking up in the middle of the night, it puts me back to sleep quickly. No morning drowsiness or headache the next morning which is definitely an improvement for me.

It helps me fall asleep faster. That’s why I wanted it and it’s useful for that. For me, I have to take it an hour or so before bed for the effect to be noticeable. Also, I found that I had to adjust the amount of capsules until I found an effective amount. They aren’t cheap but I can honestly say for myself that they are useful.

I’ve taken this type of product for thirty years for anxiety and yours is the most consistent and reliable brand so far.

suffered from waking up in the middle of the night full of anxiety and mental racing. I tried melatonin but after a while melatonin stopped working AND it works differently (melatonin sometimes puts you to sleep), L-tryptophan puts you in a long state of relaxation, it’s also a precursor to melatonin, which means it encourages your own body to make its own melatonin, so you benefit in two ways. I can’t believe that was the answer after all those months of anxious nights. I hope this review helps others who suffer from insomnia and/or wake up in the middle of the night with a mind/body racing with restless thoughts. Finally, I sleep through the night and wake up relaxed like I did years ago before the stress.

Surprising. I love this stuff. I sleep among the best with it. Literally works better than melatonin or anything I’ve tried. It didn’t start immediately but maybe within 30 minutes (I tried another brand and it started like 10-15 minutes and I was out). If you take it, give yourself a little extra time and then prepare yourself for this kind of deadly sleep. Please give me a thumbs up if it helps.

I’ve been quite stressed for a few years, so it started to influence me a lot. I decided to try this one, to see if it improves. I started using it with 5-htp… taking ashwagandha in the morning and 5-htp at bedtime. I don’t know which of the two supplements worked for me, but I definitely feel better, less stressed. It doesn’t make me lethargic, I still get nervous, but it gets over me without affecting me inside and without building up and wearing me down. It’s not a magic pill, the effects didn’t show for at least three weeks, but a slow steady improvement is best. I will experiment with other formulations to see what works best for me. now i sleep well i like the size and great quality

I started taking it as directed, but for the first three days I found myself feeling inexplicably tired throughout the day. I looked at it and discovered that tryptophan affects sleep. So I stopped taking it in the morning, but continued to take the dose at bedtime. It allowed me to sleep through the night without waking up at 3am, amazing!

I purchased this brand of L-Tryptophan because of the vegetarian capsules.

I’ve read about how taking amino acids can improve your mood, energy, and quality of sleep. I wasn’t sure but I tried and noticed the difference after a few weeks. I sleep much better and my mood has improved. Research the benefits of L-tryptophan and you’ll see what I mean. Will buy again!

good quality and good size. Coincidence or not but since I use it I fall asleep faster. I’ve had insomnia for a long time, tried many things with little success, but this stuff seems to be helping. I take 2 pills a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

My daughter originally gave me this brand and I found that it really helped me sleep and STAY asleep! It doesn’t make me feel woozy or hung-over in the morning, either. I’m soooo glad I found this product.

This works wonders for getting you to sleep and keeping you asleep. So calming and relaxing. Really helps if you are going through a stressful time or needing to get back to a healthy sleep routine.

Was having sudden problems with cracked heels, heard that stomach issues could be problem and that tryptophan might help, had been using the tablets, tried these and they helped my problem as well as the tablets. I like these better as they have less additives.
