Without adequate vitamin B6 in the form of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate, the enzyme (AADC) that makes serotonin cannot function. Tryptophan is one of the main building blocks in serotonin production. Tryptophan is hard to digest and found in very small amounts in the current human diet.
Tryptophan competes with other amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, valine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) for blood brain barrier passage which also inhibits its use in supporting these pathways. There needs to be a balance of how the limited tryptophan is used in your body.
