色氨酸(Tryptophan) 用于 入睡困难
B 证据 至少一项随机试验支持这一结论,结果基本一致。基于19项研究(1项荟萃分析、1项RCT),共96名参与者。16/19项研究显示积极效果。
结论
Tryptophan shows promising signs for helping people fall asleep faster, supported by a strong biological rationale, though the studies so far have been quite small.
- 84% of 19 studies show positive effects — a very consistent finding
- Works through conversion to serotonin and then melatonin in the brain
- Total participant count of only 96 limits the strength of conclusions
- Includes 1 meta-analysis and 1 RCT — larger trials are needed
