Formulation

Formula re: Contains

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.

Formulation re: Does NOT Contain

No wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, or peanuts/tree nuts.

Formulation re: Vegetarian/Vegan

Suitable for Vegetarians/Vegans.
