The Role of Tryptophan and Supplements in Serotonin Production
This chapter discusses the role of tryptophan in serotonin production and how certain individuals may have enzymes that don't effectively convert it, leading to lower serotonin levels. They explore the use of tryptophan and 5-HTP supplements to address this issue, as well as the potential benefits of L-serine for sleep improvement. The chapter also speculates on the possibility of gene sequences influencing preference for serotonin or GABA.
