L-Tryptophan
Source Naturals
Overview
This product contains L-Tryptophan, an essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, supporting relaxation, restful sleep, and positive mood. However, the dosage of L-Tryptophan is just at the minimum effectiveness for sleep and may be insufficient for some users, especially for mood enhancement. A small amount of Iron is provided, which is insignificant and has no meaningful impact.

Should be used with caution alongside SSRIs or MAOIs due to potential interactions.
