We feature a carefully crafted blend of magnesium, L-theanine and 5-HTP to calm your mind and body so you can get the restorative rest your body craves.
Sleep is a result of complex biological activity and involves several important neurotransmitters— chemicals that send signals for a particular activity in the brain—such as GABA and serotonin. Supporting these neurotransmitters can lead to improved sleep quality (how well you sleep) and quantity (how much sleep you get).
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is needed for hundreds of biological processes. It is growing in popularity as a stress soother thanks to its ability to promote relaxation both of your brain and your muscles. It may also help increase levels of GABA to calm an active mind so you can focus on drifting off to dreamland. Derived from tea leaves (Camelia sinensis), L-theanine is an amino acid that helps ease feelings of stress and anxiousness. 5-HTP is involved in the production of serotonin, an important player in the sleep-wake transition that is also integral to overall mental wellbeing.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle so it’s a popular ingredient for resetting a sleep cycle that has been disrupted by jet lag, shift work or other factors, but it may not be the right sleep supplement for you. Swanson Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid delivers 250 mg magnesium, 100 mg L-theanine and 50 mg 5-HTP per serving so you can settle in for slumber.
