Abstract in brief

A study with 25 healthy young adults used a randomized crossover design to assess mood changes after following high and low tryptophan diets for 4 days each, separated by a 2-week washout period.
Participants reported significantly higher positive mood scores (p<.01) after the high tryptophan diet, but the difference in negative mood was not significant (p>.05).
The results also indicated that increased dietary tryptophan was associated with lower depressive symptoms and decreased anxiety (p<.05).
