INGREDIENTS

WHY it works...Many people have taken each of the ingredients found in Sleepsana for a good nights sleep. We took it a step further and combined the perfect blend of high quality ingredients; melatonin, L-tryptophan, valerian, and GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). We designed Sleepsana to help you maintain restful sleep and wake up ready to start your day without feeling groggy.

GABA is a chemical that is made in the brain.

GABA is taken by mouth to help reduce occasional stress, improving mood, 

How does it work?

GABA works by blocking brain signals (neurotransmissions). GABA not only promotes relaxation but also helps reduce occasional stress.

L-tryptophan is an amino acid, a protein building block that can be found in many plant and animal proteins (turkey, shrimp). L-tryptophan is called an “essential” amino acid because the body can’t make it. It must be acquired from food.

How does it work?

It is important for the development and functioning of many organs in the body. After absorbing L-tryptophan from food, our bodies convert it to 5-HTP (5-hyrdoxytryptophan), and then to serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that transmits signals between nerve cells. It also causes blood vessels to narrow. Changes in the level of serotonin in the brain can alter mood.

Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. Very small amounts of it are found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body. Melatonin used as medicine is usually made synthetically in a laboratory. It is most commonly available in pill form, but melatonin is also available in forms that can be placed in the cheek or under the tongue. This allows the melatonin to be absorbed directly into the body.

How does it work?

Your body has its own internal clock that controls your natural cycle of sleeping and waking hours. In part, your body clock controls how much melatonin your body makes. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours.

Light affects how much melatonin your body produces. During the shorter days of the winter months, your body may produce melatonin either earlier or later in the day than usual.

Natural melatonin levels slowly drop with age. Some older adults make very small amounts of it or none at all. Some people who have occasional sleeplessness have low levels of melatonin.

Valeriana officinalis, commonly known as valerian, is an herb native to Asia and Europe. It is now also grown in the US, China and other countries. Valerian is an herb made from the root. 

Valerian a tall, flowering grassland plant — may relieve occasional sleeplessness.

Valerian has received attention for its interaction with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger that helps regulate nerve impulses in your brain and nervous system.

L-Theanine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) found in green tea.

L-Theanine may help relieve occasional stress by inducing a relaxing effect without drowsiness and may also help you maintain a healthy immune system.

How does it work?

L-Theanine has a chemical structure very similar to glutamate, a naturally occurring amino acid in the body that helps transmit nerve impulses in the brain. Some of the effects of theanine appear to be similar to glutamate, and some effects seem to block glutamate.

Humic naturally carries the vitamins and minerals, especially trace minerals and elements, our bodies need that are missing in our food sources.
