TRYPTOPHAN - Action Photos



This is tryptophan in action. Turkey has in it an amino acid called tryptophan. It is an essential amino acid, the body can't manufacture it. So we must (over)eat turkey in order to get tryptophan, which in turn helps our body produce serotonin which acts as a calming agent in the brain and plays a key role in sleep. Just study these photos if you don't think it works.
