A combination of melatonin (5 mg), passionflower, chamomile, and 5-HTP (5-hydroxy-tryptophan) that will help those who suffer from insomnia due to stress and nervousness. Melatonin acts on the pineal gland, which is responsible for the day/night cycle of our body. Passionflower is a popular remedy against stress and agitation, which acts on the GABA receptor and, thus, provides a relaxing and calming effect. Chamomile is traditionally used to relieve nervousness and agitation. The 5-HTP is an amino acid precursor of serotonin. It helps regulate sleep and mood. This product is intended for consumers who know their need for melatonin. Each individual naturally secretes a different amount of melatonin. It is therefore essential to find the dosage that suits you in melatonin, because the needs can be different for each individual. Dosage is key, as too much melatonin can have the opposite effect and prevent you from falling asleep. It is recommended to start with the lowest dose and gradually increase until you find the one that suits you best.
