How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Take in the morning on an empty stomach — it can be activating and may disturb sleep later in the day.

On an empty stomach
Space it a couple of hours from 5-HTP

On the label

Take 1 tablet daily with or without food. Best when taken as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Do not combine with St. John's Wort

Each of these raises serotonin activity on top of St. John's Wort, and together they can trigger serotonin syndrome — agitation, rapid heartbeat, raised blood pressure. Not without medical supervision.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
