Formulation

Mood, relaxation, sleep

Formula re: Contains

The essential amino acid L-tryptophan helps support relaxation, restful sleep, and positive mood. It plays a part in the synthesis of both melatonin and serotonin, hormones involved with mood and stress response and sleep/wake cycles. L-Tryptophan also supports immune functions because it is the body's precursor to the kynurenines that regulate immunity. If needed, L-Tryptophan converts to niacin in the body, which supports circulation, a healthy nervous system, the metabolism of food, and the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system. Source Naturals L-Tryptophan is extremely pure and is regularly tested to ensure the highest standards of quality.

Formulation re: Does NOT Contain

Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.
