Description

L-tryptophan is a non-essential amino acid that is used as a building block in the synthesis of proteins. It has been used in research and as a starting material for the production of other chemicals. L-tryptophan has also been shown to have antidepressant effects, although it is not approved by the FDA for this use. L-tryptophan can be found in protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, and soybeans.
