1. What is a tryptophan?
The protein amino acid tryptophan is one of the essential amino acids, which means that the human body is unable to synthesize it on its own, and that it must be supplied with food. In our bodies, tryptophane compounds are made up of protein molecules in blood or milk. The main sources of this amino acid are dried eggs, spirulina, lean soybeans, grains, pumpkin seeds, and parmesan.2. The properties
The amino acid protein called tryptophan plays a fairly important role in human physiology. Additionally, it improves the flow of neuronal information, which is significantly involved in the conversion of one of the neurotransmitters called serotonin. This hormone, like dopamine, is known as the happiness link because of its regulatory and relaxing effects on excessive nervous system tension. It also improves nervous information flow, which can significantly improve the concentration of trotonine.3. Doseing
Tryptophan is an amino acid that has been repeatedly studied, so we know guidelines for determining its daily intake. An adult should take at least 0.5 g per day. This dose is the minimum daily requirement for a person with moderate physical fitness and a normal diet.4. Effects of scarcity and excess
The lack of endogenous tryptophan increases the risk of deficiency in this amino acid in our diet. The most common causes of insufficient tryptophane levels are poor nutrition and very nervous lifestyle. The main effect of the deficiency is primarily a decrease in mood due to decreased serotonin levels. Serious changes and disorders occur with severe deficiencies. These symptoms can include impaired growth, reduced blood protein levels, shortness of breath, fatty liver, and even muscle degeneration.
