Tryptophan
is one kind of amino acid (building blocks for forming muscles
and other parts of human body) that is digested and used by the
brain. The brain
turns the Tryptophan into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that
controls our “feelings” such as depression, hunger, thirst,
sleep and other "moods."
However,
serotonin is mostly linked to depression.
By increasing the levels of Tryptophan in our bodies,
serotonin will be produced and the end result will be a natural
way of keeping depression at bay.
