High protein meals can lower the brain levels of L-tryptophan since they compete with various other amino acids for uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body will use some tryptophan to make the B-vitamin Niacin (B3) if a person is niacin deficient. Therefore one should take a good B-complex or multi-vitamin; the inositol in the B-complex also helps with anti-anxiety and sleep-normalizing properties, while the B-6 will prevent undesirable degradation of excreted tryptophan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622633443499,"sku":"4371201","price":42.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/4371201-life-choice-l-tryptophan-90-v-capsules-min.jpg?v=1770912975"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/collections\/tryptophan.oembed","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
