L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that can help support relaxation and restful sleep. Tryptophan plays a role in the synthesis of melatonin and serotonin which are hormones that are involved in mood response. It also can convert to niacin which is essential for a functioning nervous system, a healthy metabolism and the production of hydrochloric acid.  Tryptophan may also help support immune function.

Can be taken up to three times daily, between meals.  For sleep support, take before bed.

Should not be taken with milk, hot fluids, or other proteins (recommended one hour to either side of protein). Make sure that a good B-Complex is taken during the day with a balance of B-2 (Riboflavin), B-3 (Niacin), and especially B-6 (Pyridoxine) to maximize scrotonin production. Do not exceed 5 capsules or 2.5 grams per day unless directed by your physician. If you are pregnant, nursing, or using medications (most importantly certain classes of anti-depressant drugs), consult your doctor before using. As with any dietary supplement, if any adverse reactions should occur, discontinue use.
