Some of the ingredients in Somnapril include: Valerian Root, Passion Flower, Melatonin, Chamomile, Lavender and Vitamin B-6.

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.

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.

An infusion of lavender is claimed to soothe and heal insect bites. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as sleep aid and to induce relaxation; it is also used topically in the treatment of skin burns and inflammatory conditions. Lavender oil may also be a powerful allergen. Ingesting lavender should be avoided during pregnancy.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced in the brain that is said to regulate sleep, waking, and the body's circadian rhythm. Its concentration in the blood varies throughout the day, peaking at night and triggering sleepiness. Because our levels of Melatonin decrease as we advance in age, older adults may need to find a supplement that contains a significant concentration of the hormone.

Somnapril’s ability to work well over time is yet to be seen. A formula that is comprised of a handful of herbs may not necessarily make an effective sleep aid. A cup of chamomile tea may prove as useful. Consumers are encouraged to seek out an all natural product that is clinically proven and customer supported.

You may be familiar with Melatonin but do you know about Glutathione? Glutathione is a substance produced by the body that is needed to break down toxic substances such as caffeine and alcohol that disrupt our natural sleep patterns. Unfortunately, as we age the body produces less and less Glutathione, and so we see insomnia occurring more frequently in older adults. Depression and stress may contribute to our inability to sleep. Look for a product whose main ingredient is supported by soothing herbs like Hops and Lemon Balm. You may prefer a clinically proven product without any adverse effects that is certain to leave you feeling refreshed the next morning.
