L-tryptophan is an amino acid,. It is necessary for the production of niacin. It helps with insomnia, helps stabilize moods, and used for the brain to produce seratonin, necessary for the neurotransmitters in your brain to transfer nerve impulses to one another. Turkey is the most commonly known food to contain high levels of tryptophan.
