Description
NeuroScience TravaGen
Contains a blend of ingredients important for mood and reducing stress. Utilizes L-tryptophan to provide gentler conversion to serotonin compared to 5-HTP.
The Science:
- Serotonin and its receptors are an integral part of many physiological functions in the nervous, endocrine, and gastrointestinal systems
- Serotonin is important for regulating mood and sleep-wake function

Key Ingredients
L-typtophan
- An essential amino acid and precursor to serotonin and melatonin
- Provides gentler conversion to serotonin compared to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) as the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin in the conversion of L-tryptophan to 5-HTP
Taurine
- Neuroprotective amino acid that provides antioxidant protection and demonstrates GABA-A agonist activity
- GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain important for calm and sleep
L-theanine
- Amino acid that acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist
- Glutamatergic signaling plays a role in underlying mechanisms related to anxiousness and stress
- In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine was show to significantly reduce stress
Vitamins B and C
-
Active forms of vitamin B6, folate, B12, and C are important for serotonin synthesis
