How to take
Take 5 tablets once daily before exercise and/or at bedtime with plenty of water, at least 2 hours after your last meal; taking in the evening may suit ingredients linked with rest and nocturnal rhythms.
Ingredients explained
L-Arginine L-Pyroglutamate
Arginine serves as a nitric oxide precursor that may influence pituitary signalling, while the pyroglutamate form is used for transport and uptake.
Caution: May cause gastrointestinal upset in some people; avoid if you have low blood pressure concerns as arginine can affect vascular tone.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine is an essential amino acid that may modulate arginine availability and support normal endocrine signalling.
Caution: High doses may cause stomach discomfort; separate from high-dose calcium or iron if sensitive to amino acid competition.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that may promote relaxation and influence neuroendocrine release patterns during rest.
Caution: May cause drowsiness or tingling; avoid activities requiring alertness until you know your response.
Velvet Bean extract (standardised, yielding 45 mg L-Dopa)
L-Dopa is a direct dopamine precursor that can increase dopaminergic signalling, which is linked with pituitary hormone release patterns.
Caution: Not advised with psychoactive medicines or MAO inhibitors; may affect mood or sleep sensitivity.
5-HTP (L-5-Hydroxytryptophan)
5-HTP is a serotonin precursor that may support calm and normal sleep architecture, influencing nocturnal endocrine rhythms.
Caution: Do not combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, or other serotonergic agents due to risk of excessive serotonergic effects.
How they work together
Amino acids such as arginine and lysine are used around exercise or bedtime to influence pituitary signalling, while GABA and 5-HTP focus on relaxation and sleep-related rhythms that align with nocturnal endocrine pulses. Velvet bean–derived L-Dopa supports dopaminergic tone, complementing these pathways that cue pituitary output.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not for children, or for women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Not advised for anyone diagnosed with any form of cancer. Seek medical advice before use if you have psychiatric disturbances, ulcers, diabetes, tremors, epilepsy, asthma, urinary incontinence, cardiac arrhythmia, high blood pressure, or carpal tunnel syndrome, or if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any prescription medication. California consumers: reproductive harm (Prop 65).
Who should be cautious: People with bleeding risks or on anticoagulants due to ginkgo may need caution. Those on antidepressants or other serotonergic medicines should be cautious due to 5-HTP. People with Parkinson’s disease or on dopaminergic medicines should be cautious due to L‑Dopa from velvet bean. People sensitive to stimulatory or blood pressure effects should be cautious due to DMAE, GABA-related central effects, arginine, and niacin at high dose. Those with thyroid concerns or on antidiabetic therapy may wish to monitor due to chromium. If taking medications that may interact with these ingredients, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep out of the reach of children.
