Jarrow Formulas L-Tryptophan Description
For Relaxation, Positive Mood & Sleep
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. Jarrow Formulas® L-Tryptophan TryptoPure® is manufactured at a GMP facility via fermentation from vegetable materials. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans.
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.
