Viridian L-Tryptophan 220mg

Viridian L-Tryptophan 220mg is a pure essential amino acid supplement providing a gentle yet effective dose of L-tryptophan to support mood, sleep quality, and appetite regulation. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid — it cannot be synthesised by the body and must be obtained from food or supplementation — that serves as the metabolic precursor to serotonin and melatonin, two of the most important neurochemicals regulating emotional wellbeing and sleep-wake cycles.

The conversion pathway from tryptophan to serotonin begins with the production of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is then converted to serotonin. Serotonin, often called the 'happiness molecule', plays a central role in mood regulation, emotional stability, appetite control, and cognitive function. Adequate serotonin production is essential for maintaining a positive outlook, managing stress responses, and supporting overall psychological wellbeing.

Melatonin, which is synthesised from serotonin, regulates the body's circadian rhythm — the internal clock that governs the sleep-wake cycle. Supplementing with L-tryptophan can support the body's natural production of melatonin, helping to promote more restful and restorative sleep, especially in individuals with disrupted sleep patterns due to stress, travel, shift work, or age-related changes in melatonin production.

L-tryptophan may be particularly beneficial for those experiencing low mood, carbohydrate cravings, disrupted sleep, or symptoms associated with reduced serotonin activity. The supplement contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's high ethical and quality standards.
