Why you'll want a tryptophan supplement

Unfortunately tryptophan is the least abundant amino acid in your diet. Even a person on a high protein diet gets less than 1.5 grams of tryptophan a day. What's more, when you ingest tryptophan it undergoes a complicated process that dramatically reduces the amount actually absorbed. Some experts estimate that only 1% of the dietary tryptophan you take in reaches the brain. For many people this is sufficient, but for others, low levels can adversely affect sleep, weight, and mood.

So supplementing your diet with tryptophan, specifically Tryptopure, can mean a more restful night's sleep, a brighter, mood and a host of other benefits.

Make Tryptopure your choice


Look for the Tryptopure name on the bottle or ask your pharmacist for product containing Tryptopure from Ajinomoto.

It's important to note that you should talk with your physician about using Tryptopure. Tryptopure is not a drug but your physician should know of any and all supplements you are taking.
