Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear) Contains Tryptophan (Essential Amino Acid)

^(*) See References and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear) contain tryptophan. The brain uses tryptophan to make serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with relaxation. Moreover, tryptophan is responsible for many of the 'chemical messengers' produced by the body and is required for optimal nervous system health^(1*).

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid we must consume daily as the body can not store amino acids^(2*).

A small percentage of the tryptophan that we ingest gets converted into niacin which plays a role in metabolizing and converting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy^(3*).

Tryptophan helps to regulate insulin^(4*).

Sources of Tryptophan
