Aminoplus Tryptophan Capsules are a dietary food for special nutrition in case of a proven deficiency of tryptophan. Each capsule contains 500 mg L-tryptophan. The capsules are lactose- and gluten-free. Tryptophan is an indispensable amino acid that plays an important role in the formation of specific hormones. It is converted by vitamin B6, magnesium and folic acid into its active metabolic form, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Other important metabolites are serotonin and melatonin. Tryptophan can be beneficial for certain pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and supportive for healthy weight management. Therapeutic doses are usually between 50 mg and 3 g, depending on the particular symptom therapy. It should be noted that occasional nausea may occur with intake of more than 3 g per day. Persons with impaired gastrointestinal absorption should avoid taking tryptophan. Tryptophan should not be taken in combination with monoaminooxidase inhibitors (MAO) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as this may lead to toxic serotonin concentrations in the brain, sometimes with life-threatening side effects. Tryptophan should be avoided during childbearing and pregnancy. Tryptophan can cause drowsiness, especially in combination with alcohol. It should only be used after consultation with a doctor or therapist.
