Tryptophan uses?

Tryptophan, like all amino acids, is needed to make various proteins used for the maintenance, repair, and growth of body tissues.

When the body has more trytophan than is needs the extra tryptophan is converted into energy, niacin, or fat.

Tryptophan increase levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which aids in the regulation of emotions, behavior, pain, sleep, and appetite.

Melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate mood, sleep, and premature aging, is affected by tryptophan levels.
