Every organism requires sufficient quantity of sleep to regenerate and to make amends for the stresses of the day. L-Tryptophan is a newly and safely formulated pharmaceutical sleep solution that enhances the relaxant powers of the organism to provide a patient with thorough and essential sleep, facilitate the process of falling asleep and increase the sense of well-being upon awakening.
