Superior Sleep is a synergistic formula of five ingredients shown to induce feelings of relaxation and support sound sleep.
- Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter and it is well established that activation of GABA receptors favors sleep. GABA not only induces relaxation but also reduces anxiety.
- 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan. The 5-HTP in dietary supplements is derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, which the human body uses to make melatonin. 5-HTP has been shown to be effective in supporting mood, healthy appetite, and normal sleep.
- Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain that helps to control your natural sleep and wake cycle. While melatonin is involved in the regulation of several areas of health, including cardiovascular, reproductive, and endocrine functions, its most prominent role is its ability to modulate sleep.
- L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea leaves, known to block the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain, is considered to have anti-stress effects by inhibiting cortical neuron excitation. Our L-Theanine is AlphaWave, a pure form of L-theanine, amino acid that also relaxes the mind and body quickly.
- Sensoril Ashwagandha is a scientifically-validated preparation of the renowned Ayurvedic super plant Withania somnifera. Modern research validates Ashwagandha in promoting healthy sleep (from Latin somnifera for "sleep-inducing") and supporting our ability to handle and recover from stress.
