Summary |
PNT 200 was developed by Immunotec, a company specializing in producing health supplements and weight loss products. They have been creating supplements for over two decades. PNT 200 is a product advertised as being able to “relieve the symptoms of stress and help you get to sleep”. Sleep aids abound on all the different aspects of the market. There are pharmaceutical grade medications, over the counter products and holistic supplements all geared to try to help users sleep.
It is often difficult for consumers to decide which avenue is best for them. However, recently many consumers have started to address their sleep issues through natural methods that lack side effects. It often takes a through review of a product’s formulary to uncover its effectiveness. For this reason we will take a critical look at this formulary.

 | Ingredients at a Glance |
|
PNT 200 contains the active ingredients: Milk Protein Hydrolysate and Sodium Caseinate, a milk protein.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
Many of us have been told that a warm glass of milk will relieve sleeplessness,
Mostly because it contains a Melatonin and the amino acid Tryptophan, two sleep inducing elements.
Melatoinin is perhaps the more effective of these two elements, as it is already produced in the body where it is needed to regulate sleep. Many people have a deficiency of this vital element. However, this can be alleviated by using holistic supplementation that contains Melatonin in order to promote deep and restful sleep.
We would like to say PNT 200 utilizes Melatonin in its formula, however we can’t. It contains two elements, Milk Protein Hydrolysate and Sodium Caseinate, which are far less effective than melatonin. We gather that Immunotec is trying to invoke memories of warm milk and sleep with this formula.
Neither Milk Protein Hydrolysate nor Sodium Caseinate has been proven to augment sleep in a drastic way. In fact, Milk Protein Hydrolysate is an element found in many protein shake formulas to help deliver protein to the body after a workout or as a method to increase protein intake after illness or surgery. Sodium Caseinate is also commonly used as a source of protein. It is often found in many nondairy creamers currently on the market.

It is suggested that PNT 200 is able to increase glutathione levels in users; however, we have not been able to verify this supposition. In fact, on this retailer’s website, it is suggested that there is research on this topic, though we did not find the data or links to the data to support this argument.
Glutathione production in the body is extremely important where sleep is concerned because it cleanses the body of toxins, such as caffeine and stimulants that can decrease sleep. Like Melatonin, it can be reduced due to stress or age. Elements such as Cysteine Milk Peptide® have been proven to actually raise glutathione levels and allow users to experience a deep sleep. However, this element is not used in this formula.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
The promise of sleep may be enough to lure some consumers to try PNT 200; however, we firmly believe that they will be disappointed regarding its abilities. We scoured this website for evidence to the contrary, but found no real research related information, nor did we find any customer generated success stories. We found this development to be rather troubling; although frankly we were not surprised, and it reinforced our beliefs that this product will create only nominal results, if any.
As mentioned above we believe that Cysteine Milk Peptide® and Melatonin are two of the most results oriented sleep elements available on the market. We often suggest consumers look for products that use both of these elements, as well as Lemon Balm Extract, an herbal sedative shown to induce sleep.
