ICONFIT Sleep Capsules (90 Capsules) - EE

ICONFIT SLEEP CAPSULES are made by using highly effective natural herbal extracts such as Valerian and Lemon Balm, amino acid L-Theanine, melatonin, magnesium and vitamin B6. Our daily lives are often very stressful, which is why it is so important to get a good night's rest. However, more and more people have difficulty falling asleep at night, and even if they manage to fall asleep, the stage of deep sleep is not long enough and they wake up not feeling rested. Without enough proper sleep, the brain and body systems won’t function normally. It could also dramatically lower the quality of life. Therefore it is really important to pay special attention to sleep.

Natural herbal extraxts Valerian and Lemon Balm are known in folk medicine as calming herbs for stress and sleep disorders. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) plays a role prior to and during first sleep stage, when the body needs to feel calm, relaxed, and drowsy in order to move to second sleep stage. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a herb that has traditionally been used for a variety of cognitive purposes, most of which are centered around improving cognition and reducing stress and anxiety.

Magnesium is a well known muscle relaxant and inducer of the deeper sleep. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological functions, nervous system function, energy metabolism and electrolyte balance.

Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy exchange, physical functions and normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity - it aids in the production of the hormones serotonin and melatonin, both of which are important to sound, restful sleep, and also to mood. 

L-Theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in tea leaves. L-theanine can positively impact the key neurotransmitters (brain chemical messengers) involved with stress, sleep, mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in the mental/emotional and physical disturbances resulting from being overly stressed.

Melatonin is a hormone that the brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of circadian rhythms (natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours) and with sleep. Melatonin shortens the time to fall asleep (beneficial effect occurs when 1 mg of melatonin is consumed just before bedtime). Melatonin also alleviates subjective complaints of jet lag fatigue (the beneficial effect is achieved with a minimum dose of 0.5 g, which must be taken before going to bed on the first day of travel and a few days after arrival at the destination).

The importance of sleep for our body - When we sleep, important physical and mental processes are carried out. The body rests, conserving energy and decreasing blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and body temperature. Central nervous system is the main information highway of our body. Sleep is necessary to keep it functioning properly. During sleep, pathways form between nerve cells (neurons) in our brain that help us remember new information we’ve learned. Sleep deprivation leaves the brain exhausted, so it can’t perform its duties as well.
