Sleep is a vital activity that every organism needs to function properly. The lack of sleep or poor sleep patterns can have significant impacts on a variety of essential day-to-day functions. Memory consolidation, body healing, and metabolic regulation occur during the sleep cycle. This sleep-wake cycle can influence eating habits, digestion, body temperature, hormone release, and other bodily functions [17]. Disruption of circadian rhythms via jet lag, night-shift work, and exposure to artificial light at night, or even just very late at night, can have a detrimental effect on sleep cycle or patterns and can negatively affect a person’s ability to properly function, and can result in many disorders [16]. The various chronic health conditions linked to irregular circadian rhythms include diabetes, obesity, depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and other sleep disorders (insomnia). Non-rhythmic regulations of core body temperature, cortisol levels, and melatonin secretion are all indicators of irregularities. [17].
Nutrition and sleep play a fundamental role in our health, but the complex relationship between them is frequently overlooked. Resting enough is associated with maintaining healthier body weight and can be beneficial for people who are trying to lose weight. Good sleep can improve your learning, memory, decision-making, and even your creativity.

Mode of Action:
1. Aquamin® MS Sea Minerals is a Magnesium in the form of Magnesium Citrate form, sourced from marine water which also contains a wide range of trace minerals.
- Improves sleep efficiency, sleep time, and melatonin [1].
- Decreases sleep onset latency and serum cortisol concentration [1], [2]
- Optimal levels of Magnesium support relaxation and better sleep [3]
- Decreases C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein that readily responds by increasing with sleep deprivation and leads to inflammatory stress in the body [4].
2. Glycine: is a non-essential amino acid that plays an essential role in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
- Decreases daytime sleepiness [6]
- Modulates certain neuropeptides in SCN that may indirectly contribute to improving the occasional sleepiness and fatigue induced by sleep restrictions [5].
- Acts as inhibitory neurotransmitters ( inhibit neurochemical transmission involved in wakefulness) [5]
3. KSM-66® Ashwagandha: Organic Ashwagandha Extract is one of the few herbs with significant effects on both psychological and physiological aspects of human functioning [7].
- Acts as a GABA-mimetic that reduces the over-excitation of neurons, thereby producing calmness and reducing stress [8], [9].
- Decreases serum cortisol levels [8], [9].
4. L-Theanine: This is a unique non-proteinic amino acid that has been reported with predominant therapeutic values.
- Induce good quality sleep through anxiolysis (reduction of anxiety) [10].
- Regulates oscillatory brain activities in humans and causes a relaxation effect [11].
- Increases dopamine and serotonin production [10] [12]
- Increases alpha-brain wave activity, a sign of induced relaxation [12].
- Inhibits cortical neuron excitation and causes anti-stress effects [10].
5. Vitamin B6: Pyridoxine is needed for normal brain functioning and development.
- Helps the body make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine which influence mood, and melatonin which helps regulate the body clock.
