About the Ingredients: 

Sensoril ®  Ashwagandha - In order to truly support the long-term balance of the sleep cycle, it is essential to support the circadian rhythm, which is accomplished effortlessly by the evidence-based Sensoril ® Ashwagandha included in Sleep Benefits.* This ingredient contains active constituents called glycowithanolides, which mimic certain corticosteroids, supporting healthy cortisol levels.*

Suntheanine ®  L-Theanine - Suntheanine® is 100% pure L-theanine in a patented, pharmaceutical-grade form. L-theanine enables the body to produce other calming amino acids, such as dopamine, GABA, and Tryptophan, and helps support concentration, focus, deep muscle relaxation, and improved quality sleep.*

Lemon Balm - Lemon balm has traditionally been used to not only support healthy stress responses but also to promote healthy sleep habits.* This particular lemon balm extract is standardized to 6% rosmarinic acid and combines the power of herbals with innovative bioassay-guided technology. In clinical research, lemon balm has been shown to support a calm, positive mood, memory, focus, and learning. It supports levels of GABA through supporting normal GABA transaminase inhibition, acts as receptor agonists for Muscarinic M1, thereby exerting supportive effects on the CNS, and supports normal cortisol levels.*

GABA - Gamma-Aminobutyric acid is an amino acid produced naturally in the brain. GABA functions as a neurotransmitter, facilitating communication among brain cells. GABA is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in the CNS. As a supplement, it acts as a neurotransmitter to support normal nerve transmission and relaxation in the brain.* 

GABA’s big role in the body is to reduce the activity of neurons in the brain and central nervous system, which in turn has a broad range of effects on the body and mind, including increased relaxation, reduced stress, a more calm, balanced mood, alleviation of pain, and a boost to sleep.

Melatonin - Melatonin plays an important role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Darkness stimulates the release of melatonin and light suppresses its activity. Normal melatonin cycles are disrupted when we are exposed to excessive light in the evening or too little light during the daytime. Melatonin supports sleep onset, quality of sleep, increased Rapid Eye Movement time, deep sleep and dreaming.* These changes demonstrate better quality sleep, which produces greater mental, physical and emotional rejuvenation.* Melatonin can decrease the amount of time required to fall asleep, increase the number of sleeping hours and support daytime alertness.* Melatonin may improve the quality of life in those who suffer from insomnia.* Melatonin supports sleep quality to help balance sleep/wake cycles and maintain normal physical and mental health, including positive mood states.*
