DREAMZ Sleep Aid

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea leaves. It's well-known for its ability to promote calmness without making you drowsy. Often used to offset the jittery effects of caffeine, it's ideal for unwinding before bed.

L-Theanine promotes relaxation by increasing alpha brain waves and modulating neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin - helping quiet racing thoughts before bed without causing drowsiness.

Lemon Balm is a fragrant herb from the mint family, traditionally used for its calming and mood-lifting effects. It’s been used in herbal medicine for centuries to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support sleep. The extract is taken from the plant’s aerial parts for its active calming compounds.

Shown to ease stress and support mood, lemon balm can reduce sleep-onset latency by boosting GABA activity, making it easier to fall asleep when your mind won't switch off.

Chamomile is a daisy-like flower that's been used as a natural remedy for sleep and anxiety for generations. A 4:1 extract means it's four times more concentrated than the raw herb, making it significantly more potent. It’s known for its calming effects, particularly in teas and herbal blends.

Rich in apigenin, a compound that binds to GABA receptors in the brain, chamomile promotes mild sedation and helps ease insomnia symptoms naturally.

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a compound naturally made in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. It’s a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter critical for mood and sleep regulation.

5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, which is then converted to melatonin - the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. This makes it a key player in deeper, more consistent sleep.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes in the body, especially related to muscle and nerve function. The bisglycinate chelate form is bound to the amino acid glycine, making it highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach. It’s especially effective for calming the nervous system and easing you into rest.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable, gut-friendly form that calms the nervous system by regulating GABA and reducing cortisol - both vital for restful sleep.

Valerian root is a traditional herbal remedy native to Europe and Asia, often referred to as “nature’s Valium.” It has been used for centuries to help with insomnia, anxiety, and nervous tension. The extract is derived from the root, where most of its calming compounds are concentrated.

Valerian acts on GABA pathways to reduce brain activity and tension. It’s been shown in studies to help people fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality, especially in anxious individuals.

Passion flower is a climbing vine native to the Americas, traditionally used for its sedative and anxiolytic effects. It’s rich in flavonoids that help calm the nervous system. Often used in herbal teas for relaxation, it’s especially helpful in easing an overactive mind before bed.

Passion flower boosts GABA levels in the brain, helping reduce overthinking, calm the nervous system, and promote deeper sleep cycles.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin crucial for brain health, mood, and sleep. We use its active form - P-5-P (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) - which is immediately usable by the body. It plays a vital role in converting 5-HTP into serotonin, and ultimately melatonin, your sleep hormone.

P-5-P is crucial in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin and then to melatonin. Without B6, 5-HTP wouldn’t work effectively - making this an essential sleep cofactor.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral needed for hormone balance, immunity, and brain function. The bisglycinate form is highly bioavailable and gentle on digestion. It’s a quiet but crucial player in sleep regulation, often overlooked despite its synergy with magnesium and B6.

Zinc plays a direct role in regulating the nervous system and melatonin metabolism. Studies show zinc supplementation improves sleep duration and quality, especially when paired with magnesium.
