Description
COA-BACKED NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENT
L-Tryptophan for B2B Formulation
L-Tryptophan is supplied as a single-entity amino acid for B2B nutrition, beverage and supplement formulation. The purchasing definition is the declared assay, the impurity profile and the physical form rather than a botanical identity.

Buyer Decision Guide
L-Tryptophan is specified on assay, specific rotation or chiral purity where relevant, and on heavy metal and microbiological limits. Confirm which of these your finished-product specification actually controls before approving a grade.
- Confirm assay basis and analytical method
- Check the salt or free-form identity: L-Tryptophan
- Review specific rotation or chiral purity if applicable
- Confirm heavy metal and microbiological limits
How This Grade Differs
L-Tryptophan is a single-entity amino acid. It is not interchangeable with the racemic or salt form of the same molecule, and not with a plant extract that merely contains it. Compare assay basis, salt form and impurity profile when substituting.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the material behave in your process?
It is supplied as Fine white crystalline powder at 98% through 80 mesh, so bulk density and flow are confirmed against your process before the first order.
Can the COA be matched to the lot you ship?
Yes. The certificate is issued for the shipped lot, which is the batch LXSS260221 referenced on the specification.
Is the declared percentage a specification limit or a measured result?
The specification figure is 98.5%-101.5% on dried basis; the measured result for your lot is reported separately on its COA.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture <=5.0%, ash <=5.0%, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
How long can we hold stock before use?
Two years when stored properly from the manufacture date when the pack stays sealed and dry.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
How is the material shipped?
Air and sea freight are both arranged, with the mode chosen against volume, destination and required date. Documents and the HS code are issued with the shipping instructions.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
