L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and hence cannot be synthesized by the body, but must be obtained from food or supplements. Because L-Tryptophan is converted to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and melatonin in the body, it plays an important role in promoting relaxation, restful sleep and positive mood.

L-Tryptophan may also help in reducing carbohydrate cravings. L-Tryptophan TryptoPure is manufactured at a GMP facility via fermentation from vegetable materials. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans.

Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule on an empty stomach 30 minutes before sleep with water or fruit juice, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.

Caution: DO NOT take this product if you are on any medications, especially, antidepressants, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your qualified health care professional. DO NOT take this product if you are taking any SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
