Trypping Out

L-tryptophan Sleep Aid

The last time you got a good night’s sleep was that Thursday in November when you gorged on turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

Blame it on depression over consuming so many calories (or the only way to avoid hearing Aunt Fanny’s stories for the hundredth time), but it was a night of REM so great, you’d endure it all over again just to repeat.

The sleeper secret was L-tryptophan, the amino acid found in turkey. And you don’t have to gobble a bird to get the same results.

Great Earth has bottled up the sedative-like stuff into tablets that make you sleepy. (It all has to do with altering serotonin levels in your brain.) Studies also show that L-tryp reduces PMS and helps suppress the appetite.

A natural supplement that induces sleep, elevates moods, and causes weight loss? Better get your hands on it immediately.

After all, you’re no turkey.
