Ingredients explained
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is a precursor for dopamine and noradrenaline, which may support neurotransmitter production under stress.
Caution: May cause restlessness in some people or interact with thyroid conditions because it influences catecholamine pathways.
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)
5-HTP converts to serotonin, which may support a calm mood and balanced sleep-wake signalling.
Caution: May interact with medicines that affect serotonin; combining can increase the risk of excessive serotonergic effects.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that may promote relaxation by reducing neuronal excitability.
Caution: May cause drowsiness in some people, so consider avoiding before tasks requiring alertness.
L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine can be converted to glutamate and GABA, contributing to neurotransmitter balance and cellular energy.
Caution: High intakes may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
Vitamin B6 in its active form acts as a coenzyme for enzymes that synthesise neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and GABA.
Caution: Long-term high doses may cause tingling or numbness; stay within recommended use.
How they work together
Tyrosine and 5-HTP provide building blocks for catecholamines and serotonin, supporting balanced neurotransmitter production. GABA offers direct inhibitory signalling for calm, while glutamine feeds neurotransmitter pathways. Vitamin B6 serves as a cofactor to help convert these amino acids into active neurotransmitters.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If taking antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors, use only under medical supervision.
Who should be cautious: Contains 5-HTP, which may interact with SSRIs, SNRIs or MAOIs and may increase serotonin-related side effects. People with mood disorders or those sensitive to stimulatory amino acids such as L-tyrosine may wish to seek advice. If combining with medications that may interact, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store at room temperature in a dry place.
