Posted by: Sina Ghaboussi | Feb 25, 2010
Tryptophan is one of 20 standard amino acids and is an essential amino acid. An essential amino acid is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized by our bodies and therefore needs to come from our diet. Amino acids are building blocks in protein production and tryptophan also functions as a biochemical precursor for many important compounds in our body like serotonin and niacin.
