Sleep Assist™ is made from the active ingredients: Valerian, Chamomile, Peppermint, Passion Flower, Hops, Skullcap and Melatonin.

Skullcap is native to North America, but is now widely cultivated in Europe and other areas of the world. It has been used for over two hundred years as a mild relaxant and has long been hailed as an effective therapy for anxiety, nervous tension and convulsions. Because of its calming effects on the nervous and musculoskeletal system, it was also at one time considered to be a remedy for rabies, thus its name "mad dog weed."

The ancient Greeks used Valerian for a variety of medical disorders ranging from liver problems, digestive ailments and urinary tract disorders to nausea and insomnia. It has also been used for centuries for nervous conditions and has been traditionally used for sleeplessness, epilepsy, nervousness and hysteria. The herb is mainly used as a remedy for insomnia.

Hops have nervine, diuretic and anodyne properties. Their volatile oil produces sedative and soporific effects. Hops are believed to improve appetite and promote sleep. It is a plant that has been thought to have sedative properties for hundreds of years, among various groups of diverse populations all over the world.

Chamomile is used medicinally for the relief of mild to moderate stomach upset, as well as irritable bowel syndrome. It is most commonly thought of as a gentle sleep aid. In contemporary Europe, chamomile products are widely used as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and sedative agents. Extracts are used to allay pain and irritation, clean wounds and ulcers and aid prevention and therapy of irradiated skin injuries, as well as treat cystitis and dental afflictions.

As we age, the body produces less and less Glutathione, thereby we see insomnia occur more frequently in older adults. As the generation of Americans known colloquially as baby boomers approaches retirement, the market will likely be flooded with dietary supplements that claim to provide a solution for depression, anxiety and especially trouble sleeping. A supplement that contains Melatonin is seemingly most appropriate for this population.

• Somewhat inexpensive
• Made with Melatonin

• There is seemingly nothing special or striking about this product
• This supplement is not made with a patented main ingredient
• User may require a stronger, clinically proven organic blend

Sleep Assist™ is made with Passion Flower and Peppermint, herbs which may have a soothing effect on the mind and body. Individuals interested in herbal remedies should continue their research; an infusion for making tea or essential oils for aromatherapy may be suitable for such as individual.

Adults who experience acute insomnia may need a supplement that is a bit stronger. At the same time, one must demand that a product is clinically proven to work safely and well, and that means no next day hangover feeling. Sleep aids made with Cysteine Milk Peptide® have been reported to raise levels of Glutathione, which breaks down toxic substances facilitating sleep.
