L-Tryptophan
Precursor of serotonin and niacin; helps regulate feed intake and stress response.
Introduction
L-Tryptophan 98% is an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor for several critical bioactive compounds, including serotonin and niacin (Vitamin B3). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates feed intake, mood, and stress response. By ensuring adequate Tryptophan levels, producers can help stabilize feed intake and reduce stress-related behaviors in animals. Additionally, Tryptophan is converted into niacin, which is essential for energy metabolism and DNA repair. In low-protein diets, Tryptophan is often the second or third limiting amino acid, making supplementation essential for maintaining growth performance and health.
Functions and Applications
- Regulates feed intake.
- Modulates stress response.
- Precursor for Niacin synthesis.
