Scitec Nutrition Tryptophan is a food supplement with 500 mg of L-tryptophan in every large capsule.

The product is made in the European Union.

What is L-tryptophan?

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid: the body cannot produce it itself, so it has to be obtained from outside, mainly from food. The tryptophan molecule contains an aromatic ring, and it is one of the amino acids that make up proteins. L-tryptophan is usually provided by mixed dietary protein intakes from different sources.

L-tryptophan is found in many foods, such as meat products, fish, dairy products, eggs, cereals and legumes. Following a balanced and varied diet is important to get enough L-tryptophan. If you would also like to get L-tryptophan from another source, a food supplement is a convenient option. No nutrient reference value (NRV) has been established for L-tryptophan, so only its amount is shown in the nutrition information.

How to use?

Take one capsule a day with a glass of water about an hour before going to bed. One capsule provides 500 mg of L-tryptophan. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Use this product in conjunction with food as part of a healthy, balanced diet, not as a substitute for such. One container lasts 60 days. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.
