Abstract
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that needs to be supplemented through protein-rich diet and it helps in growth and nitrogen balance in the humans.The aim of this studyis to evaluate the effect of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the L-tryptophan in terms of its physicochemical and thermal properties by usingmodern analytical techniques. The method involved dividing the testsample into two parts and providing the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatmentto one part (named as Biofield Energy Treated sample), remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi; while the other part didn’t receive any treatment called a control sample. The particle size values of the treated sample was increased by 4.77% (d10), 6.37% (d50), 6.72% (d90), and 6.49% {D(4,3)}; thus, the specific surface area was increased by 4.35% comparedto the control sample. The PXRD peak intensitiesand crystallite sizes of the treated sample were significantly altered ranging from -82.69% to 30.54% and -17.15% to 179.73%, respectively, in comparison to the control sample. The total weight loss of the treated sample was significantly reduced by 11.60% during the heating process that resulted in a significant increase in the residual amount of the sample by 1093.33% as compared to the control sample. The melting temperature and the latent heat of fusion of the treated sample was significantly increased by 1.12% and 6.79%, respectively, compared to the untreated sample. Hence, the L-tryptophan might forma new polymorph after the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment that may possess better solubility and bioavailability profile along with improved thermal stability compared with the untreated sample. Thus, the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment could be considered as a novel approach for designing the formulations with improved drug profile and efficacy. The treated L-tryptophan would be more useful for the treatment of mental health disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder, etc.
Highlights
Tryptophan was first isolated from casein protein and discovered by Hopkins and Cole in the early 1900s[1], while its molecular structure was determined later by Ellinger and Flamand[2]
Particle Size Analysis (PSA) The particle size distribution data were presented in Table 1 that helps in analysing the effect of the Biofield Energy Treatment on the treated sample as compared to the control sample

Summary
Tryptophan was first isolated from casein protein and discovered by Hopkins and Cole in the early 1900s[1], while its molecular structure was determined later by Ellinger and Flamand[2]. The L isomer (e.g., L-tryptophan) is used in protein synthesis and has the ability to pass the blood-brain barrier[3,4]. L-tryptophan is available in the lowest concentration in the human body among all amino acids[5] and has low tissue storage[6]. It is needed in small amounts in the body for general healthy nutrition; it is the essential amino acid that needs to be supplied through the diet[7,8]. Tryptophan works in the protein formation, but it is a precursor for various metabolites, such as kynurenine and serotonin.
