Helix-Somal Sleep Aid

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone made naturally by your body. At high levels, it can help you fall asleep.

Melatonin works together with your body’s circadian rhythm however, melatonin itself won’t put you to

sleep. It simply lets your body know that it is nighttime so you can relax and fall asleep easier. Melatonin

is also a powerful antioxidant, which may provide a variety of other benefits including:

Magnesium Ortotate

Magnesium orotate is a complex of magnesium plus orotic acid. As a magnesium supplement, it is often

promoted as a better source of magnesium than other forms due to improved absorption. It is also

taken for its orotic acid, which is used for improving athletic performance and endurance, and for heart

health. Some studies claim that orotate carries magnesium across cell membranes and produces higher

levels of magnesium within the cells. Benefits include:

VitaCherry

VitaCherry powder is a rich source of antioxidants, specifically anthocyanins, which protect cells against

damage caused by free radicals to reduce the risk of inflammation and premature aging. The

melatonin content in tart cherries can regulate the body’s sleep cycle and help you get a better night’s

sleep. The anthocyanins in organic VitaCherry powder can also relieve inflammation and pain associated

with arthritis, gout, and migraines. Because of the high anthocyanin content Vitacherry, has been shown

to improve cognitive brain function and support brain health.

Suntheanine

L-theanine is an amino acid extracted from the leaves of camellias sinensi or the common tea plant. It is

responsible for some of the savory notes in green tea and is a common relaxant, often mixed with other

natural supplements to induce feelings of calm and relaxation. Research suggests that L-theanine might

provide a range of health benefits, which may include improved mental focus and better sleep quality.

Benefits include:

5-HTP

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that your body naturally produces. Your body uses it to

produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Low serotonin

levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems.

Therefore, increasing your body’s production of serotonin may have various benefits. Research suggests

that 5-HTP may help shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and increase sleep amounts. 5-HTP can be

effective in improving mood, and easing symptoms of stress and anxiousness, which can in turn

interfere with sleep. Additional benefits include:

GABA

GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) GABA is a neurotransmitter that blocks impulses between nerve cells

in the brain. Researchers suspect that GABA may boost mood or have a calming, relaxing effect on the

nervous system as well as promoting lean muscle growth, burning fat, stabilizing blood pressure, and

relieving pain. Benefits include:
