What is tryptophan?
It’s not just in turkey: L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that promotes sleep, supports mood health, and encourages a healthy stress response.

Why did we add hops extract?
Hops compounds help protect DNA from damage, promote healthy cellular function and can even help relieve hot flashes associated with menopause.
Support Sleep, Stress & Weight Management
Most people only know of tryptophan from their Thanksgiving dinner. But this essential amino acid does more than simply make you sleepy after you’ve had a big meal. Our Optimized Tryptophan Plus provides 1,000 mg of L-tryptophan per serving to support healthy sleep, help modulate our biological response to stress and even promote satiety to help support healthy weight management.
