Calcium and magnesium — These minerals help relax muscles, and are included in forms that are easily absorbed by your body.
Vitamin C — Aids in the absorption of calcium and magnesium
Valerian extract — Traditional herbal sleep remedy proven to improve the experience of sleep when taken regularly, and a safe choice for individuals with mild to moderate insomnia as it induces sleep.
Passionflower — An herbal remedy that has a non-addictive, mild sedative effect. Passionflower passed Germany's rigorous process and is approved there for treatment of insomnia.
L-Theanine — This amino acid is commonly found in green tea leaves. We use Suntheanine®, a super-pure L-Theanine preparation. Human clinical trials show that Suntheanine® promotes a state of relaxation and may have applications in improving the quality of sleep.
Chamomile — Traditional sleep and relaxation remedy. Chamomile attaches to the same receptors in the body targeted by many prescription sleep medications.
Melatonin — A hormone that helps regulate cycles of sleeping and waking.
5-HTP — 5-Hydroxytryptophan is a naturally occurring amino acid. 5-HTP is a precursor to the neurotransmitter, serotonin (which supports a positive mood) and melatonin.
Niacinamide — A form of vitamin B-3 that does not cause the uncomfortable flushing reaction that niacin can often cause. We’ve added niacinamide to Perfect Sleep because the body can convert 5-HTP (see above) into vitamin B-3 if the body is deficient in this important nutrient. Providing niacinamide in the formula makes the maximum amount of 5-HTP available for your body to convert to serotonin and melantonin, depending upon its metabolic needs.
