It's not uncommon to find our sleep cycles less than optimal. Whether we try sleeping earlier, avoid screen time before bed, etc… many aging individuals require more! And back to school is almost here… that means earlier bedtimes for the kids and readjusting to new schedules.
Sleep Essentials is the perfect solution as you adjust to these new schedules and optimize your sleep patterns, as both quality and duration of sleep greatly impact the quality of life in aging men and women.
Melatonin
The sleep hormone - promotes sleep onset, shifts the circadian rhythm, and may also promote lengthened REM cycles. Also regulates nocturnal core body temperature.
Theanine
Amino acid - modulates neurotransmitters in the brain, supporting serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels. Enhances glycine release. Supports alpha brain wave production- inducing a state of relaxation.
Valerian
Sedating botanical used for centuries- contains two classes of compounds (sesquiterpenes and iridoids triesters) that exert beneficial effects on sleep, anxiety and depression. May exert agonist action on GABA receptors.
5-HTP
Supports serotonin, which is converted to melatonin downstream. Can stimulate deeper sleep, assist in falling asleep faster, and support a more positive mental state. When supporting healthy sleep cycles, a multi-pronged approach is best.
One capsule of SLEEP Essentials will give you 4 ingredients that all individually support healthy sleep patterns.
