Data sheets: Tryptophan

Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid that pigs must obtain from their diet. It is involved in protein synthesis and serotonin production, which regulates appetite. It also contributes to the formation of niacin (vitamin B3) and has antioxidant effects, promoting intestinal health and microbiota. In addition, it helps maintain mucosal integrity and regulates the immune system.
