Other Ingredients (2)

Rice FlourFiller

Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.

HypromelloseCapsule

Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose

How to Take It

Best taken in the evening

Take at night. Other amino acids compete for brain uptake, so a protein-heavy meal blunts it.

On an empty stomach
Keep it away from protein-heavy meals
Space it a couple of hours from SAMe

On the label

As a dietary supplement, take two vegan capsules per day with water.

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.
