Night Time

Night Time is great place to start for those who are struggling to find a cause for their insomnia, as it contains a range of beneficial ingredient, such as:

​

Magnesium: Magnesium is hugely important in a large number of processes within the body. Regarding sleep magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker to help muscles relax alleviating cramp and restless leg syndrome. Studies have shown insufficient magnesium intake is linked to sleep problems. Furthermore, magnesium acts upon the nervous system and contributes to deep, restful sleep. Several studies have confirmed this effect in older adults.

​

5-HTP: 5-HTP is a natural, isolated nutrient extracted from the Griffonia seed. It is the precursor to the ‘Happy hormone’ serotonin (5HT). 5-HTP goes through a decarboxylase process within the body to be converted to serotonin. Serotonin plays a vital role in your biochemistry as not only does it help regulate mood but at night it is converted into melatonin the ‘sleep hormone’ to aid in a deep restful sleep.

• 5-HTP must not be taken alongside pharmaceutical anti-depressant SSRI's. Doing so may lead to serotonin syndrome

• 5_HTP should be taken with a high quality B-vitamin supplement to reduce homocysteine build up. homocysteine is a by product of serotonin metabolism.

Hops: Hops has a long history of use in herbal medicine, dating back to at least the 9th century in Europe. Several scientific studies suggest that hops have sedative effects.
