SleepX supports healthy sleeping patterns and regulate healthy circadian rhythms.
The restoration of the circadian rhythm relies on an adequate ebb and flow of serum cortisol and sleep hormone levels. Elevated stress levels can affect sleep onset due to their sleep-hormone suppressing ability. Magnesium regulates key circadian rhythm markers, aiding the reduction of cortisol while boosting sleep hormones. Ashwagandha has also been shown to reduce night cortisol, to help counteract overactivity that disrupts sleep hormone production. Ornithine is another ingredient that helps regulation of stress hormone production.
Digital devices and blue light exposure.
Exposure to artificial nocturnal light (i.e. from electronic devices) interferes with the natural circadian rhythm cycle through the stunting of sleep hormone production. Lutein and Zeaxanthin act as blue light filters, supporting visual function and sleep quality due to preferential absorption of blue light. Daily supplementation of 20mg of Lutein and 4mg of Zeaxanthin has been clinically demonstrated to show significant improvements in sleep parameters including reducing sleep latency and increasing overall sleep duration and quality.
SleepX supports restorative sleep.
Typical sleep architecture consists of 80-120 minute sleep cycles which incorporate various stages and include rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. The last stage of non-REM sleep is also known as slow wave sleep (SWS) which plays an important role in cerebral restoration and recovery. This natural sleep homeostasis is reset and supported through several phytonutrients, such as Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Ashwagandha which decrease the time to the onset of slow wave sleep. Ornithine, magnesium and Triethylene glycol (TEG) contained in Ashwagandha leaves help to increase the time in non-REM/slow wave sleep during the cycle. Combined, these actions support an increase in sleep quality for a more restorative and refreshing night’s sleep.
SleepX supports muscle relaxation and neuromuscular function.
The proper relaxation of muscles is important to sleep and is facilitated by effective neuromuscular signalling. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle cramps and spasms.
Great to combine Zinc with Molybdenum and Selenium to help raise Zinc levels when you have too much Copper in your system. Need extra zinc and Molybdenum as well though to get the right dose.
