A gentle, natural way to assist with occasional sleeplessness. Studies suggest that the valerenic acid naturally contained in valerian root can help calm the mind and promote relaxation, setting the stage for a restful night's sleep. Valerenic acid is believed to support peace of mind via actions on inhibitory neurotransmitters (e.g., GABA). Melatonin exists naturally in the pineal gland of the brain and plays a vital role in prompting the onset of sleep with a rapid, transient, and mild sleep-inducing effect. This herbal sleep formula offers a non-habit-forming alternative to insomnia drugs without the side effects.*
