The Science of Sleep

Derived from marine sources, this source of magnesium has been shown to significantly improve sleep efficiency and quality alongside several health benefits due to its unique composition of bioavailable magnesium and 72 trace minerals.*

Magnesium activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which relaxes the body by regulating neurotransmitters and the sleep hormone melatonin. Magnesium also plays a role in interacting with GABA receptors to help calm the nervous system.*

Research on the relationship between magnesium and depression indicates that adequate magnesium supplementation may be beneficial in alleviating depressive symptoms.*

Magnesium bis-glycinate is known for its superior absorption compared to other forms of magnesium supplements. The chelation process helps the body absorb more magnesium without the laxative effect that can be seen with magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate​.*

This form of magnesium is gentle on the stomach and less likely to cause digestive discomfort which is commonly associated with supplementation of other forms of magnesium.*

Magnesium bis-glycinate can help reduce muscle cramps, spasms, and promote relaxation due to its high bioavailability and gentle impact on the digestive system.*

Magnesium malate is known for its high bioavailability, meaning it is more easily absorbed by the body compared to other forms of magnesium. This is a particularly gut friendly form of magnesium, with studies showing good bio-availability and few side effects.*

Malic acid is a key component of the Krebs cycle, which is responsible for the production of ATP, the body's primary energy molecule. This makes Dimagnesium malate effective in combating fatigue and increasing overall energy levels.*

DiMagnesium malate helps prevent muscle cramps and reduce muscle soreness. The combination with malic acid, which plays a role in the Krebs cycle, helps to improve muscle performance by increasing energy production and reducing lactic acid buildup during exercise.*

Glycine can improve the quality of your sleep and your sleep duration. Studies also report reduced "daytime tiredness" when glycine is supplemented before sleep. Other studies point to cognitive benefits from glycine.*

Glycine helps regulate the circadian rhythm, which is the body's internal clock that dictates sleep-wake cycles. This can be particularly beneficial for people who have difficulty sleeping or suffer from insomnia.*

Glycine has been shown to improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. It works by lowering body temperature and promoting relaxation.*

L-Theanine promotes the generation of alpha brain waves, which are associated with a state of "wakeful relaxation." This helps to calm the mind and reduce mental stress, making it easier to fall asleep.*

L-Theanine has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress by modulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. This reduction in anxiety can lead to improved sleep quality and decreased sleep disturbances.*

Studies have indicated that l-theanine can improve various parameters of sleep quality, including sleep efficiency, latency (time taken to fall asleep), and duration. This is especially beneficial for individuals with sleep disorders such as insomnia​.*

Tart cherries are one of the few natural sources of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Consuming tart cherry juice increases the body's melatonin levels, which can help improve sleep quality and duration​.*

Studies have shown that consuming tart cherry juice can increase sleep time and improve sleep efficiency. In a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition, adults who consumed tart cherry juice experienced significantly longer sleep duration and better sleep quality compared to those who took a placebo.*

Tart cherries contain high levels of antioxidants, including anthocyanins and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Reducing inflammation can alleviate sleep disturbances caused by conditions such as arthritis or muscle soreness.*

The melatonin and tryptophan in tart cherries help regulate the body's internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up at regular times. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with irregular sleep patterns or shift work​.*

Studies showed that apigenin has a sedative or hypnotic effect that can lead to reports of improved quality of sleep, and possibly faster falling asleep. It also has some indication that it helps reduce anxiety.*

Apigenin has been shown to have anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties. It modulates GABA receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety regulation. This makes apigenin a potential natural remedy for anxiety and stress.*

Apigenin has strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body. This can help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.*

Vitamin D3 helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, which is the internal clock that dictates sleep-wake cycles. Proper levels of Vitamin D3 can help ensure that this cycle remains balanced, leading to more consistent sleep patterns.*

Vitamin D3 has been shown to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, both of which can interfere with sleep. By improving mood and reducing stress levels, Vitamin D3 can contribute to better sleep quality.*

Enhances immune function by modulating the innate and adaptive immune responses and increasing the pathogen-fighting ability of white blood cells, reducing the risk and severity of infections​.*

Holy Basil is known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress and anxiety by balancing cortisol levels. Lower stress and anxiety levels can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. By promoting mental relaxation and reducing the impact of daily stressors, Holy Basil can help facilitate a more restful and uninterrupted sleep.*

Holy Basil's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, which can indirectly benefit sleep. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are linked to various sleep disorders, including insomnia. By mitigating these factors, Holy Basil supports overall health and contributes to improved sleep quality.*

Holy Basil supports respiratory health by reducing congestion and improving lung function, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory issues that disrupt sleep. Its expectorant properties help clear the airways, making breathing easier and reducing sleep disturbances caused by respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.*

Zinc plays a crucial role in the regulation of melatonin, the hormone responsible for controlling sleep-wake cycles. Adequate levels of zinc can help maintain healthy melatonin levels, promoting better sleep quality and regular sleep patterns​.*

Studies have shown that zinc supplementation can improve overall sleep quality. Zinc has been associated with longer sleep duration and improved sleep efficiency, which means more time spent in restorative sleep stages.*

Zinc can help reduce sleep latency, the time it takes to fall asleep. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with falling asleep quickly. By facilitating quicker onset of sleep, zinc helps ensure a longer and more restful sleep period.*

Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969® influences the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain. By promoting a healthy gut microbiome, these probiotics can enhance neurotransmitter production, including serotonin, which plays a crucial role in regulating sleep and mood.*

Chronic inflammation can negatively affect sleep quality. Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969® has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce systemic inflammation, potentially improving sleep quality and duration by creating a more conducive environment for restful sleep.*

Studies have shown that probiotics can improve sleep quality by increasing the production of sleep-promoting neurotransmitters and reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. Regular intake of Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969® may help enhance overall sleep patterns and ensure more restorative sleep​.*
