Melatonin

Melatonin is a clinically effective treatment for jet lag, delayed sleep and age related insomnia. Melatonin works by regulating daily sleep cycles signaled by light and darkness. Research shows that melatonin is generally safe and free of the side effects associated with pharmaceutical sleep aids.

Valerian

Research shows valerian to be an effective sleep aid with few side effects. Human studies show that this herb can help people fall asleep faster and improve the quality of deep sleep. This stage of sleep is very important because it is when the body repairs itself and processes memory.

GABA

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is a crucial amino acid and neurotransmitting mood-enhancer that is used to treat conditions like PMS, epilepsy, panic disorder and ADHD. GABA is most commonly used by bodybuilders due to its effect in the production of growth hormone and in increasing lean muscle mass.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is a natural amino acid in green tea that modulates mood by inducing relaxation and relieving emotional stress through serotonin and/or dopamine levels. Research has also shown that L-theanine’s antioxidant properties augment chemotherapeutic agents and ameliorate their side effects.

Vitamin B Complex

The B complex vitamins work together to maintain the general health and welfare of the body; and are an essential nutrient during pregnancy. Studies show B Complex also improves anemia and homocysteine levels as well as minimizes the potential for cancer due to its role in DNA replication and synthesis.
