Ingredients / Amount per capsule:
L-Tryptophan – 220mg
L-tryptophan 220 mg: serotonin and melatonin precursor.
Tryptophan converts via 5-HTP to serotonin, then to melatonin in the pineal gland after dark, supporting the body's own production rhythm.
Adequate tryptophan supports serotonin synthesis, which influences mood, appetite and the wind-down toward sleep.
Supplying the precursor rather than the hormone itself supports the body's own production rhythm without the morning grogginess some users get from melatonin.
60-tablet glass bottle keeps the amino acid stable and avoids plastic packaging.

Brand
Natra Heal
Adults with short-term sleep onset difficulty, those who find direct melatonin supplementation causes morning grogginess, and anyone working on mood and sleep together.
Direct melatonin gives the brain the hormone, bypassing the body's natural production timing. Tryptophan supplies the precursor and lets the pineal gland release melatonin when it would naturally, on the body's own rhythm.
Take 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Take on an empty stomach (no protein in the previous hour), since other amino acids compete with tryptophan for blood-brain barrier transport.
One to two tablets before bedtime. Start with one tablet. Take in a low-light environment to support the natural melatonin signal.
Strategic Cross-Sell
Magnesium Glycinate pairs naturally with tryptophan for sleep support. Magnesium acts on GABA signalling while tryptophan supplies the serotonin and melatonin substrate; the combination addresses sleep onset from two complementary angles.
