Ingredients explained
L-Tryptophan
L-tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP and then serotonin and melatonin, which may influence mood, relaxation and sleep-wake regulation.
Caution: May interact with antidepressants such as SSRIs or MAOIs because it can raise serotonin levels; start cautiously and avoid combining without professional guidance.
Calcium
Calcium acts as a signalling mineral in nerves and muscles and supports enzyme activity and bone mineralisation.
Caution: High total calcium intake from diet and supplements may cause digestive discomfort; consider overall daily intake.
Iron (naturally occurring)
Iron supports oxygen transport as a component of haemoglobin and cellular energy production in mitochondria.
Caution: Accidental overdose in children can be harmful; store securely and keep out of reach.
How they work together
L-tryptophan provides the amino acid precursor used to form serotonin and melatonin, guiding mood and sleep pathways. The small amounts of calcium and iron contribute general mineral support but do not materially change L-tryptophan’s core role.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, breastfeeding, or taking medications such as SSRIs or MAOIs, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Who should be cautious: People using antidepressants such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs due to serotonin syndrome risk. Those who need to separate iron or calcium from certain medications to avoid reduced absorption. Individuals with sleep disorders or mood concerns should seek guidance. As this product contains L-tryptophan, which may interact with serotonergic medicines, consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may cause interaction.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Mood, Relaxation, Sleep
- Non-GMO Validated
- Suitable For Vegetarians
The essential amino acid L-tryptophan helps support relaxation, restful sleep, and feeling better. It plays a part in the synthesis of both melatonin and serotonin, hormones involved with mood and stress response. 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.
