Tryptophan (C11H12N2O2)

Tryptophan is a protein amino acid, but it is not synthesized by the human body. It is found in foods such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, bananas, cocoa, eggs, cheese, fish, meat, and soy products. Synthetically, it is derived from raw materials through bacterial fermentation. It is a key factor in the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems. The desirable ratio of Lysine to Tryptophan in a high-quality diet is between 15 and 24%. L-Tryptophan is the active form of Tryptophan, a molecule with an L-configuration.
