It's the flavour of the year, and this time is restimulated by retrograde Uranus (disruption) reoccupying the Vernal Point (first degree of Aries), conjunct the ill-favoured star Scheat, a star of Mars (war; passion; hostility) and Mercury (intellect).
Description. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. This means that it must be obtained through the diet in adequate quantities to meet the body's needs. Tryptophan is a precursor in the central nervous system of the neurotransmitter serotonin.Serotonin modulates mood and sleep patterns.escription. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid.

Tryptophan is a precursor for 5-HTP, which is subsequently a precursor serotonin and melatonin. Therefore, tryptophan or 5-HTP may be consumed or supplemented to increase levels of both serotonin and melatonin in the body.ryptophan and 5-HTP can be converted into serotonin in the digestive tract but must transported to the brain where it is then synthesized into melatonin. The pineal gland in the brain switches on melatonin synthesis when it detects lower levels of light in the ambient environment.
