The Mechanism

How NA2R® Works

Serotonin synthesis starts with tryptophan. NA2R® is engineered with a uniquely high Trp:LNAA ratio — so more tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier, and more serotonin gets made.

Optimised Amino Acid Profile

NA2R® is an enzymatic hydrolysate of hen egg white protein. Its amino acid composition is precision-engineered to maximise the tryptophan-to-large neutral amino acid (Trp:LNAA) ratio — limiting competition at the transport site that matters most.

Priority Passage Across the BBB

Tryptophan competes with other LNAAs at the LAT1 transporter on the blood-brain barrier. NA2R®'s low-LNAA matrix clears the competition — measurably raising the plasma Trp:LNAA ratio by up to 48% within 90 minutes of consumption.

Natural Serotonin Synthesis

More brain tryptophan triggers the tryptophan → 5-HTP → serotonin pathway. Clinical outcomes include balanced mood, reduced fatigue, sharper focus, faster reaction time, and improved sleep quality — at regulatory-approved doses.

Measurable Bioavailability

A dose-dependent increase in plasma Trp:LNAA ratio — the gold-standard marker for brain tryptophan availability. A casein control beverage decreased the ratio by 9% in the same study.
