Natural Factors-Sleep Relax 90 CAP

Natural Factors Sleep Relax Formula combines the best of the time-tested sleep-inducing herbs to promote a restful sleep without next-day grogginess. Some of the herbs act as gentle nervous restoratives, calming anxiousness and quieting jangly nerves.

Sleep Relax includes a standardized extract of Valerian root, with calming passion flower, hops and skullcap.

Valerian: renowned for its calming effect on adults and children alike. The principal active constituent in valerian is the volatile oil, so a standardized extract ensures effectiveness as a sedative herb.

Passionflower: have been shown to make a non-addictive sedative that relaxes the nervous system. Passion flower seems especially helpful when physical or mental strain results in insomnia or stress.1 It seems to have a refreshing effect on the nervous system, and it is mild enough to be used for children. Michael Weiner, herbalist and author, suggests that: Passiflora incarnata may be our best tranquilizer yet. The dried leaves and stems both induce a natural sleep and calm hyperactive people...Physicians could well recommend this plant to patients who want to wean themselves from synthetic sleeping pills and tranquilizers.

Hops: are helpful for nervous disorders, anxious overwrought states, and insomnia. Hops are used for their sedative properties in many European countries. The German Commission E Monograph suggests hops for disturbed states such as restlessness and anxiety, disorders of sleep with no side-effects, and contraindications.

Skullcap: a nervine tonic, and a slow but steady nervous system restorative. It relaxes states of nervous tension while at the same time it renews and revives the central nervous system. It may be used in all exhausted or depressed conditions, and it can be used with complete safety in the easing of premenstrual tension.
