Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha may help you get better sleep in two ways: by influencing sleep directly and by lowering stress, which indirectly benefits sleep.  Ashwagandha has plenty of research on it's ability to lower cortisol levels, a major hormone present during stress and an inhibitor to muscle recovery.*

5-HTP

5-HTP produces serotonin, which can be converted into the hormone melatonin while going to sleep.  Melatonin plays an important role in regulating sleep.*

Melatonin

Melatonin is the main hormone the body produces to induce sleep.  More melatonin present in the body during sleep means falling asleep faster and staying asleep more soundly.  Delta sleep utilizes both regular and bioactive melatonin, providing an extended release benefit to help you stay into a deep sleep for longer.*

GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid)

An amino acid and neurotransmitter that, when in high levels in the brain, can have a positive effect on anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep problems.*

Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycinate)

Magnesium plays an important role in turning protein into chemicals that help you sleep.  Magnesium has also been shown to calm the nervous system down.  Magnesium also helps the body maintain GABA levels. Magnesium Glycinate is magnesium binded to the amino acid, Glycine.  Glycine itself is believed to have calming properties and may help reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia.*

L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid that has been shown to.reduce stress and anxiety.  It works by stimulating your body's release of dopamine and serotonin, hormones that improve mood, sleep, emotion, and cortisol levels.  Studies have shown L-Theanine to help people relax before bedtime, get to sleep easier, and sleep more deeply.  L-Theanine and GABA have been shown to work best when taken together.*

Valerian Root 4:1

Valerian Root is a perennial plant that has been used for aiding in sleep for hundreds of years.  Valerian Root  has been shown in numerous studies to help fall asleep faster, improve sleep quality, provide relief from restlessness and anxiety, and leave you feeling refreshed instead of groggy in the morning.*
