Review
Summary |
Night Rest™ is a dietary supplement that is advertised to promote restful sleep, as evident from its name. This product is manufactured by the company Source Naturals, which was founded by the current CEO in 1982. The company maintains that at that point in time the “maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life" through the use of herbs and natural products didn’t “exist.” However, it is believed that humans have been benefiting from the healing and empowering mixture of plant extracts and herbs longer than history can trace.
Nonetheless, we will take a closer look at this product to determine if the contained ingredients are likely to promote “restful and quality sleep”, as advertised.

 | Ingredients at a Glance |
|
Night Rest™ contains the following active ingredients: Magnesium, Sodium, Glycine, Taurine, Passion Flower, GABA, Skullcap Leaf and Stem, Chamomile Flower Extract, Melatonin and other filler ingredients that are clearly listed on the company website.
As a whole, this product does contain all natural ingredients as promised by the manufacturer. However, several of these ingredients are commonly found in alternate sleep aid supplements, prompting the question of whether this company’s product offers a new solution to those with sleeplessness. Oftentimes, formulas that have been well researched and offer innovative techniques contain patented ingredients, which are not included within Night Rest™.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
Melatonin is one of the ingredients widely contained in an assortment of sleep aid supplements. However, it is with good reason. This ingredient naturally occurs in the body, but levels do decline with age. Since Melatonin plays a large part in regulating sleep cycles it may be advantageous to take a supplement that includes this ingredient in its formula, especially since one of its main benefits is that it does not create “hangover” effects.
We find it questionable that the company chooses to add several ingredients that may cause grogginess. While sleepiness at night is desired, few people want to use a product that causes drowsy into the next day, impairing a person’s ability to function at optimum levels.
We prefer when Melatonin is paired with an ingredient that is able to limit the amount of toxins and stimulants found in the body. These toxins may disrupt sleep cycles; eliminating them from the body may strengthen Melatonin’s benefits. Unfortunately, not one of the ingredients contained in Night Rest™ has been shown to tackle unwanted bodily toxins and stimulants.

 | Website |
|
This company does post an accessible website and provides a brief product description of Night Rest™. However, this product is not for sale on the company site; interested buyers can purchase the product from retailers online. The product is moderately priced, and most online stores have it reduced by over 50%.
The complete ingredient list is posted online, but is not accompanied by an explanation as to why each ingredient was chosen. Also missing from the site are testimonials of individuals who have found success with Night Rest™. We believe that testimonials are good indicators of how a supplement works, and are disappointed to discover a company that fails to post this information.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
In the end, this supplement contains an assortment of herbs, minerals and amino acids. The minerals and amino acids may offer consumers benefits regarding health, but we do not find this product to offer a strong sleep aid solution. Again, we recommend finding a product that offers Melatonin. However, instead of pairing ingredients that could cause potential hang-over effects, Melatonin may work better when paired with an ingredient that can break down toxins in the body. Ultimately, consumers are likely to be more satisfied with such a comprehensive formula.
