L-Tryptophan 500 mg by NOW FOODS is a food supplement that provides free-form L-tryptophan in vegetarian capsules. Each capsule contains 500 mg of the amino acid, with no added vitamins or minerals.
The capsule format suits adults who prefer a simple way to take this essential amino acid as part of a regular routine.
The formula focuses on L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid provided here in free form. Free-form means the amino acid is supplied as a standalone compound rather than bound within protein. The product uses a vegetable capsule and a short list of technical ingredients only. It contains no additional active nutrients beyond the stated L-tryptophan.
Take the capsules with water according to the stated directions.
What is the advantage of choosing L-Tryptophan capsules over powder?
Capsules provide a pre-measured portion in a convenient vegetarian format, making them easy to take with water without weighing or mixing powder.
Can L-Tryptophan be taken alongside a small carbohydrate snack?
The product directions specify taking the capsules on an empty stomach, so follow those directions rather than pairing them with a snack.
Ingredients: L-Tryptophan (free-form), hypromellose (cellulose capsule), rice flour, ascorbyl palmitate, stearic acid (vegetable source).
