L-Tryptophan has been shown to decrease anxiety, support positive mood, and improve the gut-brain axis.

Additionally, it supports the natural production of melatonin, which can improve the circadian rhythm and promote healthy sleep. Furthermore, it supports the gut-brain axis by increasing the production of serotonin in gut neurons. (259, 260)
