Sleep Relaxation of Body and Mind
The ingredients in Sleep Body & Mind Relax are all carefully selected to improve the quality of your sleep in different ways.
Benefits:
- Helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
- Stimulates the release of dopamine neurotransmitters to induce a state of calm
- Supports the natural production of serotonin and melatonin.
Melatonin is a neurohormone produced mainly by the pineal gland in the brain, which, as mentioned above, regulates sleep-wake cycles and helps to shorten the time it takes to fall asleep. The positive effects are seen when at least 1 mg of melatonin is taken just before bedtime. It is really effective in reducing the time needed to fall asleep. The minimum dose to take is about 0.3 mg 1-2 hours before bedtime. Some of the activities performed by melatonin include normal cardiovascular function, timing of sleep and wakefulness, control of energy and blood sugar levels, and a number of other important functions that characterise its effectiveness in reducing inflammatory stress. Unlike other supplements currently on the market, this hybrid-release product (immediate-release and extended-release) helps to mimic the body’s natural sleep patterns.
GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a non-protein amino acid widely distributed in micro-organisms, plants and animals. It is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), counteracting the effects of glutamate (the excitatory neurotransmitter) and providing a sense of calm by neutralising excitatory neurotransmitters.
L-theanine is an amino acid that acts on GABA receptors and helps the brain to enter a “calm state”. It also alters levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
L-glycine is a vital amino acid that benefits the body. It helps to protect the digestive system, the neurological system, the musculoskeletal system and the body’s metabolism from harmful factors that can lead to dysfunction. Glycine is even a neurotransmitter and can help to increase glutathione levels in the brain, providing an anti-inflammatory effect. When consumed in the body, glycine has a sweet taste. Although glycine plays a very important role in the human body, it has received almost no attention until now. Despite the fact that glycine has a profound effect on serotonin, glycine is known to be a novel and safe method used as a therapeutic tool for people to improve the quality of sleep. Studies show that glycine can increase blood flow to the extremities by lowering core body temperature, which is an important signal to initiate sleep. When this happens, glycine can increase a person’s REM sleep duration, allowing them to get a good night’s sleep. Further research suggests that glycine may inhibit orexin-stimulating neurons, which are responsible for arousal and energy homeostasis, which is crucial and can lead to non-REM sleep or even nocturnal awakening.
Sleep Body & Mind Relax works on the inhibitory (rather than excitatory) neurotransmitters L-glycine and GABA. Some of these amino acids and extracts have a ‘secretagogue’ effect as they can stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, leading to improved sleep. In addition, Sleep Body & Mind Relax contains other components such as theanine and melatonin, which reduce stress and promote sleep.
