The invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising dietary fiber, a peptide having 7 or more amino acid units, the nutritional composition comprising a tryptophan source, which may be said peptide or different there from, for use in the treatment of a negative emotion or introvert behavior. The invention further relates to a combination of dietary fiber, a peptide having 7 or more amino acid units, the nutritional composition comprising a tryptophan source, which may be said peptide or different there from, and optionally one or more other components, for use in the treatment of a negative emotion or introvert behavior.

A relaxation formulation structured to induce a deep state of relaxation in a person comprises amounts of tryptophan, melatonin, vitamin B3, and vitamin B6. Another relaxation formulation also includes an amount of tyrosine, and yet another formulation includes an amount of vitamin B12. At least one embodiment of a relaxation formula comprises a physiologically effective amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (“GABA”). A delivery system is provided to facilitate administration of the relaxation formulation to a person. The delivery system may include an edible high carbohydrate matrix, such as a chocolate brownie. Alternatively, the delivery system may comprise an inert vaporizable compound to allow the components of the relaxation formulation to be inhaled directly into the lungs of a person. Other delivery systems include an aqueous sublingual spray and a beverage.

The present invention provides combinations comprising a sedating antihistamine and selected indole-based natural products such as L-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan and melatonin, along with pharmaceutically acceptable calcium and magnesium salts and selected B vitamins. These combinations are useful in providing a medicament for improving sleep in mammals, especially humans.

Provided are a feed additive composition for cattle including N-acetyl-L-tryptophan (NALT) as an active ingredient, and more particularly, a feed additive composition including N-acetyl-L-tryptophan as an active ingredient for reducing temperature stress of cattle, increasing average daily gain of cattle, and increasing feed intake of cattle; a feed including the feed additive composition for cattle; and methods of reducing temperature stress of cattle, increasing average daily gain of cattle, and increasing feed intake of cattle, the methods including feeding the cattle with the feed additive composition or feed for cattle including N-acetyl-L-tryptophan as an active ingredient.
