Other Ingredients (4)

Natural FlavorsFlavor

Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.

Turmeric ColorColorant

Natural yellow colorant from the rhizome of Curcuma longa; the pigment is curcumin

Citric AcidAcidulant

Natural acid derived from citrus fruits

Stevia ExtractSweetener

Zero-calorie natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana

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. Take it between meals, away from food.

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

On the label

Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water one to two times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

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.
