Intermittent wakefulness, difficulty falling or remaining
asleep, or waking too early are all signs the body is
having difficulty managing stress. Restlessness and difficulty falling asleep
are often the root cause of many daytime problems, including loss of energy,
concentration, and productivity. Natural ZZZs addresses these issues with
natural ingredients without the side effects often associated with other
regimens.
WHY THESE NATURAL INGREDIENTS?
Valerian Root is
long known for its effect on anxiety and nervousness related sleeplessness,
valerian root acts to promote smooth muscle relaxation due to increased GABA
concentrations in the nerve endings.
Jujube Seed has
been scientifically shown to be an effective sleep aid, as well as promoting
increased total sleep time in animal studies. It has been used for centuries in
Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Passionflower is
used in traditional herbal preparations for nervousness and difficulty
sleeping. The flavonoid properties of Passionflower
activate GABA receptors providing anxiolytic and
sleep promoting values. During the early twentieth century, Passionflower was
popular as a nervine tonic or herb (calmative) and
was included in the United States National Formulary. Approved by the German
Commission E, Passionflower is used extensively in Europe.
L-Theanine promotes
rest while helping to reduce stress. Found in green and black teas, theanine has been shown to have a calmative effect in the
brain. More recent studies have shown that theanine
has a counter balancing effect on caffeine in the body.
