The Power of Passionflower and Tart Cherry Extracts
We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about why the introduction of the above compounds has increased the effectiveness of our core formula Deep Sleep + Full Restoration.
Below is a summary of what both of these raw compounds achieve within our bodies for increasing sleep quality and quantity, including the mechanisms of how this is achieved.
How Passionflower Works:
- Increases GABA: Passionflower increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, a neurotransmitter that reduces the activity of neurons, leading to a calming effect on the nervous system. This can help ease anxiety and promote relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
- Regulates Sleep Patterns: By modulating brain chemistry, Passionflower can help regulate sleep patterns, making it particularly beneficial for those with irregular sleep schedules.
Benefits of Tart Cherry for Sleep:
- Natural Source of Melatonin: Tart Cherry is one of the few dietary sources of natural melatonin. Consuming it can help increase melatonin levels in the body, aiding in faster sleep onset and a longer sleep duration.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Tart Cherries are also packed with antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are linked to sleep disorders.
The Dynamic Duo: Passionflower and Tart Cherry Together
When combined, Passionflower and Tart Cherry extracts offer a synergistic effect that can significantly enhance sleep quality and length. Here’s why they're particularly effective together:
- Complementary Actions: While Passionflower works by calming the nervous system and increasing GABA, Tart Cherry helps by boosting melatonin levels. Together, they address both the psychological and physiological aspects of sleep, making it easier to drift off and stay asleep.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: Both extracts not only help in falling asleep faster but also in achieving deeper, more restorative sleep phases. This can lead to improved mood, better cognitive function, and overall health.
- Natural and Non-Habit Forming: Unlike some pharmaceutical sleep aids, both Passionflower and Tart Cherry are natural and have a lower risk of dependency or side effects, making them a safe option for long-term use.
