| | Tryptophan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Indeed, tryptophan has continued to be used in clinical and experimental studies employing human patients and subjects. | | | Clinical research tended to confirm tryptophan's effectiveness as a natural sleep aid and for a growing variety of other conditions typically associated with low serotonin levels or activity in the brain. | | | Several of these studies suggest tryptophan can effectively treat the fall/winter depression variant of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). |

| | Tryptophan: Dietary Supplement |
| | Tryptophan has often been hyped as "nature's prozac" or "nature's serotonin solution." While certainly an exaggeration, these extravagant claims have some basis in fact. | | | Thus supplementation of tryptophan would appear to be a simple and natural alternative to SSRI drugs. | | | On its own, melatonin supplementation has been shown to be an effective treatment for insomnia; however, combining melatonin with tryptophan may prove even more effective. |

| | Acute tryptophan depletion is an established method for lowering 5-HT levels and an important tool to study the effects of reduced 5-HT on mood and cognition in human subjects. | | | The tryptophan depletion resulted in a statistically significant more impulsive- or disinhibited response style on the continuous-performance test-identical pairs when the subjects were solving verbal tasks. | | | The validity of this method with regard to behavioral changes remains to be established in healthy, vulnerable and clinical populations. |

| | Tryptophan for Meditation and Health |
| | Jing (essence) and Chi (vital life force) are both derived from food while Shen (Spirit) is strengthened through spiritual practices such as Qi Gong or other meditation models to supply our cellular DNA (represented by the 64 hexagrams of I Ching) with Divine Tao's light and love. | | | When Jing and Chi are sustained with optimal health practices such as exercise, and balanced diet with important serotonin precursors, and our Shen is fed with spirit molecules (tryptophan, serotonin, melatonin, pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT, DMT) and Divine Tao's Light and Love, health is maintained and longevity becomes a reality. | | | The Dark Room facilitates the synthesis and accumulation of the spirit molecules (5-MeO-DMT and DMT) in the brain, and hence the experience of our true nature, of love and compassion energy, and our reconnection with the Divine Tao (Wu Chi). |
