Based on science
NiMera Night Sleep Drink Powder is a whey protein concentrate rich in alpha-lactalbumin which naturally contains high amounts of the serotonin precursor tryptophan. Increased dietary intake of tryptophan has documented beneficial effects on brain serotonin synthesis and activity with positive effects on mood, cognitive performance and improved sleep pattern. NiMera Night Sleep Powder Drink α-lactalbumin at varying serving sizes for children 6-17 year and adults 18 years+.
Tryptophan has a positive effect on bodily functions
The intake of supplementary tryptophan within the diet of an adult has been linked with improvements in sleep duration and depression symptoms, reduction in cognitive decline, reduced risk of onset of diabetes, mediation of mood disorders, as well as a number of other conditions. The evidence for any specific cause and effect, linked with tryptophan intake, varies to some extent with the type of condition or disease, gender of the individual and the genotype of the individual.
Levels of Tryptophan in the diets of adults
Typically, the level of tryptophan within the protein consumed by adults is low, relative to the level of other amino acids, particularly the other essential amino acids.
Consumption of Tryptophan Rich Proteins - α-lactalbumin
The increased consumption of tryptophan from nutrient rich foods has been studied using different proteins that contained relatively high levels of tryptophan. The protein sources included α-lactalbumin a protein that is rich in tryptophan. In these studies, specific quantities were added to the diets of adults to study the effects of increased intake of tryptophan and the effect of the TRP/LNAA ratio on the plasma level of tryptophan.
The effect of the differing intakes of tryptophan from food in individuals has been linked to various behaviours and mood disorders, particularly with older adults. This has been linked with “enhanced serotonin neurotransmission” that has a “widely acknowledged antidepressant function”. Studies have indicated that people with mood disorders had a lower intake of tryptophan than those with higher intakes of tryptophan. It has also been proposed that consuming a tryptophan enriched diet may assist with improvement in mood, sleep patterns, cognitive decline and resistance to type 2 diabetes.
Studies have indicated that intakes of 15g^ – 20g of α-lactalbumin have shown significant increases in plasma tryptophan. The effects included improved cognitive performance, improved mood and well-being, including improved coping ability, lower anxiety and better sleep efficiency.
Tryptophan has a positive effect on bodily functions
Tryptophan is an amino acid – one of the building blocks of protein. It is found in varying concentrations in a wide range of food proteins; however the highest concentrations are found in dried milk.
Tryptophan is regarded as a precursor for the synthesis of neurotransmitters (serotonin and tryptamine) and, with its metabolites, has an effect on bodily functions such as appetite, sleeping / waking and also the perception of pain. Melatonin is a hormone that is produced in the body as part of the “tryptophan/serotonin pathway and regulates the patterns of sleep, among other bodily functions. The highest level of melatonin in the body is associated with darkness at night and in healthy individuals reaches a peak at around 2am. Sleep quality is associated with peak melatonin secretion and if this is delayed, sleep quality suffers.
For tryptophan to be optimally available to the body, the ratio of the level of tryptophan to the level of TRP/LNAA must be maintained at as high a level as possible.
