Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means your body cannot make it on its own and you must obtain it from food.

Your body converts tryptophan into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate:

• Mood
• Appetite
• Memory
• Sleep

Foods rich in tryptophan include:

• Poultry (chicken, turkey)
• Fish
• Eggs
• Milk and cheese
• Soybeans and tofu
• Nuts and seeds (especially pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and peanuts)
