Sleep Support

GABA's primary role is to reduce neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. This calming effect can help individuals fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and experience a more restful sleep.

Melatonin's primary function is to regulate circadian rhythms, making it highly effective for improving sleep quality and addressing various sleep-related issues.

Tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, then serotonin, and finally melatonin. Melatonin is critical for sleep regulation. Studies have shown that tryptophan supplementation can improve sleep in individuals with sleep issues.

Studies have shown that valerian can promote relaxation and improve sleep by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain, which can help reduce anxiety and promote calmness.

Studies suggest that 5-HTP can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and increase the duration of sleep by boosting serotonin levels, which are involved in the sleep-wake cycle. Supplementation is often used to address mild sleep disturbances.

Research suggests ashwagandha can improve sleep onset and quality, particularly in individuals experiencing stress-related insomnia.

Studies have shown that glycine can help to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle and promote deeper, more restful sleep. It can help increase serotonin levels which can help promote better sleep.

Magnesium is involved in the regulation of melatonin, a hormone that controls sleep, and GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation. Supplementation can be helpful in improving sleep, especially for individuals with deficiency.

Apigenin binds to GABA receptors in the brain, which can have a calming effect. Some studies suggest it may reduce sleep latency and improve sleep duration.

Sleep disturbances can sometimes be linked to mood imbalances. By addressing these imbalances, St. John's Wort may facilitate better sleep patterns for some individuals. However, it's not a primary sleep aid.

While not a direct sedative, research indicates that L-theanine may help with sleep by reducing excitatory neurotransmitters and inducing a calmer state, facilitating sleep onset and maintenance.
