Description
For calm and good sleep
Orthomolecular new formula that provides natural nutrients, such as magnesium and tryptophan , for relaxation and calmness. It also contains lavender, chamomile, hops and passionflower for a deep and restful sleep.
More specifically, the neurotransmitters melatonin and serotonin promote sleep, and tryptophan is an essential amino acid, useful for the creation of melatonin and serotonin.
Magnesium Oxide Adequate magnesium intake helps with natural relaxation and sleep initiation, especially when combined with relaxing herbs such as chamomile, lavender and hops. Oxide is a rich source of elemental magnesium (58% on average). Magnesium is vital for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
Passionflower incarnata has many common names, including purple passionflower and mayapa. Studies show that it can help relieve insomnia and anxiety. It appears to boost the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This compound reduces brain activity, which can aid in relaxation and restful, deep sleep, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Other studies show that passionflower can also help with stomach problems. It is also a successful treatment for the symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) with fewer side effects compared to benzodiazepines.
Chamomile (Chamomile Powder), *recent clinical and laboratory research has shown that chamomile not only relaxes, but significantly reduces anxiety and depression. A recent study from the University of Nottingham Medical School found that chamomile relaxes blood vessels and smoothes muscle fibers. These results refer specifically to the use of the three main components of chamomile, apigenin, luteolin and bisabolol (all three belong to the hydroxylase class).
Lavender , with over 150 active ingredients, lavender proves its therapeutic properties in treating insomnia, headaches, toothache, depression, irritability and reducing anxiety.
Hops , its active ingredients support brain functions, helping to have a cooler outlook on life and promoting restful sleep. It also supports the immune system and regulates histamine levels, especially in times of need. It helps to deal with overexertion, anxiety and insomnia.
L -Tryptophan is an essential amino acid used to make proteins. When we consume tryptophan, the body converts some to 5-HTP (Hydroxy-tryptophan) and then to the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body also converts some tryptophan into Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), which is why tryptophan is also considered a dietary source of niacin (B3). Most of the health benefits of tryptophan come from increasing niacin and therefore serotonin. Benefits of more serotonin include: healthier and better quality sleep, relief from depression and anxiety, increased emotional well-being, enhanced pain tolerance
Zinc citrate , studies have shown that people with depression have lower levels of zinc in their body while people with high levels of zinc are at a lower risk of developing depression. Taking zinc supplements along with antidepressant medication may have benefits in reducing depressive symptoms.
Vitamin B3 or Niacin (Nicotinamide Niacin), absolutely necessary because when the levels of vitamin B3 in the body are very low, then our nervous system uses large amounts of tryptophan for its production in order to function. The more tryptophan we use to make B3, the less is left to make the relaxation hormone serotonin.
Vitamin B5 or Pantothenic Acid (Pantothenic Acid D-Calcium Panthonate), is converted into coenzyme “A” which is involved in the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy, as well as in the creation of steroids, fatty acids, bile, hemoglobin and cholesterol.
Vitamin B6 or Pyridoxine (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), * participates in the creation of the neurotransmitters serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine and taurine. In stressful situations vitamin B6 and tryptophan are consumed by the liver. Because of this, first of all, the production of serotonin is affected. B6 helps in the production of energy from food and in the metabolism of fatty acids Ω3 and Ω6.
Vitamin B1 or Thiamine (Thiamine Hydrochloride), * participates in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, enhancing memory and the transmission of nerve impulses, while simultaneously protecting acetylcholine from breakdown. Vitamin B1 also participates in the production of serotonin – the neurotransmitter of balance and inner calm.
