BodyFirst® L-Tryptophan Peptide, Restful Sleep, 60 Capsules

In an attempt to offer the functional advantages of L-Tryptophan in a more effective way, Pepform® Technology has been used.

Pepform® is a scientifically studied peptide-carrier technology that makes it possible to deliver L-Tryptophan in a more soluble and highly absorbable form using advanced fractionation and separation technologies.

L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that it cannot be produced in the body and is mainly got through the diet and supplementation. L-Tryptophan is converted to 5-hyrdoxytryptophan, which in turn is converted to serotonin, then melatonin and even vitamin B6.

Serotonin is associated with mood, melatonin with sleep patterns and vitamin B6 with energy metabolism.

This product has been conceptualized and brought about because of the fact that in order to get sufficient amounts of L-Tryptophan from natural foods, a greater quantity of these food items containing L-Tryptophan require to be consumed whereas people on the go may not be able to or have access to these foods or due to food preferences may not consume these foods. We are extremely proud of the results this supplement can achieve in improving day-to-day functionalities of a person by providing much needed relaxation.
