Melatonin is naturally produced in the pineal gland and is involved in numerous functions, including, most famously, the circadian rhythm, which regulates our sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin also plays a role in healthy immune and gastrointestinal functions.*
Valerian is one of the classic herbs used for centuries to help promote relaxation, ease tension, and support restful sleep.*
Another classic and widely-used herbal remedy, Lemon Balm, has traditionally been used to help promote restful sleep, relaxation, and overall serenity.*
Hops work to help keep you calm and relaxed. It's not just the alcohol in the beer that produces a sense of restful sedation; Hops have been used for millennia for this calm-inducing purpose. The benefits of Hops appear to be amplified when combined with other relaxation herbs, including valerian.*
L-Theanine is a unique, non-dietary amino acid found naturally in tea. L-theanine converts readily to GABA and glutamate, two neurotransmitters that can impart a relaxing effect.*
GABA is a neurotransmitter naturally produced in the brain, where it serves to regulate many of the actions of the brain that cause relaxation. GABA functions to help relax the nervous system, thereby promoting a restful, tranquil sleep.*
In the body, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is naturally produced from the amino acid tryptophan. 5-HTP then converts into the calming neurotransmitter, serotonin. Serotonin plays a central role in promoting feelings of happiness, bliss, and satiety from food.*
