Why market Tryptopure

In 1990, the FDA instituted an import ban on tryptophan. Since all tryptophan was manufactured outside the US, the ban stopped virtually all sales of tryptophan in the US—Ajinomoto's Tryptopure was the lone exception.

The FDA permitted the company to continue to import and sell tryptophan because Ajinomoto's Tryptopure was widely trusted as the purest tryptophan available. Ajinomoto restricted its sales of tryptophan to medical use applications only. Tryptopure was used in intravenous solutions, infant formulas and specialty medical products.

Ajinomoto Tryptopure released for sale is at least 99% pure tryptophan. It's why we're trusted by medical and pharmaceutical professionals.

The consumer market has a real need for a high quality tryptophan. A tryptophan that is made under the highest standards and has a history of safe, effective usage. Ajinomoto is searching for partners who want to market a high quality product.

Tryptopure provides a platform for differentiation from the other products in the market place:

  • No other tryptophan on the market is of higher quality than Tryptopure
  • Produced under cGMP conditions - you can trust Tryptopure
  • Tryptopure is the only amino acid to have an approved Drug Master File at the FDA
  • Manufactured by Ajinomoto, the global leader in amino acid technology.
