Get a Good Night's Sleep with Sleep Easy Formula

Insomnia affects millions of Americans of all ages. It goes without saying that a good night’s sleep is important for more than just how your brain functions - newer studies show a strong link between poor sleep and elevated risk of diabetes, weight gain/obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and accidents, just to name a few!

Also, If you’re not sleeping well, you’re not recovering properly. While rest allows the muscles to recover after training, sleep is important for the nervous system (which controls everything!) to recover after hard training bouts.  If you're going to train and recover well, you've got to dial in your sleep.

Sleep Easy formula contains clinically relevant doses of several of the best-studied natural sleep aids. It’s not habit forming, addictive, and won’t leave you feeling groggy in the mornings either.

Best Uses for Sleep Easy Formula:

• Inability to fall asleep
  
• Inability to stay asleep after waking
  
• Early morning waking (4am)
  
• Nighttime stress and anxiety
  
• Frequent awakening during nighttime hours
  

Here’s How Sleep Easy Works:

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid which is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. 5-HTP supports serotonin levels which in turn supports positive mood and sleep. Serotonin is involved in brain and hormone activities responsible for sleep/wake cycles and emotions.

L-Theanine is derived primarily from green tea leaves and is well known for its ability to promote relaxation. It can enter the brain (crossing the blood-brain barrier) and boosts relaxing alpha-wave production there. Theanine is thought to be responsible for the relaxing effects of having a cup of tea as well!

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the brain's main inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning it “puts the brakes on” excess brain activity. GABA has several relaxing effects on an over-active brain.

Melatonin is our main sleep/wake hormone that's produced in the pineal gland, inside our brains. It's released in accordance with the light and darkness in our environment. Melatonin can bring on sleep, shorten the time to fall asleep, and decreases the number of nighttime awakenings and improves overall sleep quality. At 300 micrograms in this formula, it’s just enough to help with sleep but not enough to make you feel groggy in the morning.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) helps with the production of serotonin, one of our important sleep hormones.

Magnesium is used in many systems throughout the body and can be quite helpful in winding down at night and bringing sleep on.

Hops (flower) Hops has been used traditionally for relaxation; in studies its been shown to help with restlessness, anxiousness and poor sleep.

Skullcap is a botanical medicine which contains ingredients that act to support GABA, bringing about it’s relaxing effects. 

Passionflower has been used traditionally for its numerous relaxing and anti-anxious effects.

Valerian Root (Valeriana Sitchensis) works by inhibiting the breakdown of GABA in the brain, so more is left around, increasing its effects. This is a different species of valerian; Valerian officianalis can cause opposite reactions in about 10-15% of those who use it. This species (sitchensis) promotes sleep-inducing effects without the adverse reactions of the officials species.

Jujube and Yuan Zhi are Chinese herbal medicines that help ensure more restful and unbroken sleep. They work synergistically with each other to shorten the time to fall asleep and enhance delta brain wave activity that’s a sign of deeper sleep.

Sleep Easy formula is gentle yet effective in helping with sleep issues. It’s not habit forming and can be used for several weeks in order to help re-calibrate normal sleep periods. It’s a great sleep aid to use if you’re traveling or you’re nervous about an event the next day, so you can get a restful night’s sleep before the big day.
