BrieofoodL-Tryptophan 1000mg per Serving - 240 Capsules - Supports Poisitive Mood & Relaxation

I had only heard of tryptophan as something that helps brings on the post-Thanksgiving Day nap, but since I do have trouble relaxing sometimes, I thought I'd give it a try. I think this supplement is easy to swallow, and it's a very good value for the price. I think the description is accurate and overall, I will keep this as part of my evening sleep routine.

I know tryptophan has numerous health benefits, but what I was mostly interested in was improving sleep.While using this my sleep score did improve a little but not as much as I was hoping.As for other overall benefits, I was really not focused on anything else.Not saying this does not work, but for me it was not what I was looking for

Brieofood L-Tryptophan, 1000mg per serving, is made in the USA with non-GMO ingredients and is third-party lab-tested. They do have bovine gelatin, but since they make no claims to be vegetarian or vegan, this is not a negative for the majority of ordinary people.I found this medical explanation: 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid produced from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. 5-HTP is the precursor for neurotransmitters, chemicals that transmit a nerve impulse across neuronal gaps called synapses. These neurotransmitters include serotonin and melatonin.So, in a nutshell, L-tryptophan is an amino acid that turns into 5-HTP, which turns into serotonin and melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that induces sleep; this is further stimulated by darkness.Getting a good night's sleep is crucial to good health and promotes weight loss. So, I am for any supplement that supports my body to naturally produce the serotonin and melatonin it needs to get a good night's sleep.In conclusion, I recommend using Brieofood L-Tryptophan. It is worth trying.

These seem comparable to another brand that I've been taking. I'm pretty sure they work the same but I need to do a longer comparison. I like to take one brand for two weeks then switch to the other while keeping a log. Its a lot of work but its hard to know when the difference is subtle.My only objection to these is the listing (as well as front of the bottle) say 1000 mg in very large type with a small "per serving" sub title. This is misleading and seems unethical. I'm not sure how much to trust companies that do this.Having said that these are well priced so as long as they work as well as my others they are a good deal.

I've been taking one pill every night & it definitely helps my get a better night's sleep.Easy to swallow. Good quality.

L-Tryptophan is supposed to make you sleepy. I expected this would help me sleep. But at least for me, it does not. Any other claims I cannot verify. Has a 2 year stated shelf life.

The human body uses L-Tryptophan to make the amino acid 5-HTP and to help make the hormone Melatonin. Therefore, as I see it, consuming L-Tryptophan is a natural way to help the body produce those important molecules, avoiding the risk of a possible overdose if consuming them individually. Both 5-HTP and Melatonin play a key role in well-being and in the relaxation process in preparation for a good night’s sleep. I always take one capsule of Brieofood’s L-Tryptophan; that is, 500mg, one hour and a half to one hour prior to bed time. I like this supplement and highly appreciate the fact that the distributor Brieofood had it third-party lab tested for purity and quality, which has now become industry’s best practice.

I'm fairly happy with this product. I like that it doesn't have extra ingredients as I'm already taking multiple supplements and don't want any interactions. I did take note that the capsules are made from bovine gelatin so be aware if that bothers you. I like that it is made in the USA and is third party tested so I have some confidence in its safety and efficacy. I try not to take it daily since I build up a tolerance quickly, but it does seem to help me sleep better when I take it. Nice product.
