SISU - LIQUID MELATONIN 10mg
Helps increase the total sleep time (aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, e.g. shift-work and jet leg.
Our daily sleep/wake cycle is regulated by our “circadian rhythm”, the physical, mental and behavioral changes in our body that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in our environment.
The pineal gland at the base of the brain releases the sleep hormone, melatonin, when it gets dark, and suppresses production in the daytime.
Older people can have problems sleeping because their melatonin levels are low. Studies have shown that a melatonin supplement can help shift-workers sleep better in the daytime.
Melatonin is also helpful for travellers whose circadian rhythm is disrupted by jet lag. Melatonin is non-addictive and does not produce the “hangover” effect of many sleep-aid drugs.

How it works
- Stress-Relax® Tranquil Sleep works in harmony with the body’s own natural sleep hormones to help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, increase the quality and duration of sleep, relieve daytime fatigue, and reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle.
- Melatonin is a brain hormone critical for regulating the “circadian rhythm” of the body’s internal clock, and triggering the onset of sleep. Low melatonin secretion at night can be a cause of insomnia. When melatonin levels are low, taking a melatonin supplement is very effective for promoting sleep.
- 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) improves sleep by increasing the amount of serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a brain hormone required for healthy sleep. An irregular sleep schedule can reduce serotonin production, triggering a vicious circle of poor sleep, stress, depression, and fatigue. Supplemental 5-HTP is metabolized into serotonin, thereby helping the body restore a pattern of restful sleep.
- L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and slows the firing of nerves, resulting in relaxation and a shift to restful alpha brain wave activity, without causing drowsiness. It can also lower the heart rate and reduce the stress response.
Safe and effective Stress-Relax Tranquil Sleep helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep, with no next-day grogginess.
