SUPPLEMENTS FOR BETTER SLEEP 😴 There are a variety of different reasons many of us have poor quality sleep that can range from: - excess stress & elevated cortisol which leads to a decrease in melatonin - nutrient deficiencies due to poor diet or poor digestion/gut health (such as vitamin D, magnesium & B6) - neurotransmitter imbalances due to nutrient deficiencies, heavy toxin load, or poor gut health Herbs & supplements that support sleep: - Magnesium: increases a neurotransmitter called GABA which is responsible for slowing your thinking, calming your brain & helping you fall asleep. - Vitamin B6: helps regulate the production of amino acids & hormones. It can have a calming affect & helps produce melatonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. - Valerian Root: has mild sedative effects which have shown to help people fall asleep faster. - Passionflower: thought to work by increasing GABA levels in the brain. It can help support both sleep & anxiety. - Chamomile: provides anti-anxiety & sleep supportive benefits while also calming the digestive system. - Ashwaganda: shown to help improve sleep quality & reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Ashwaganda helps lower cortisol levels which can inhibit melatonin production & disrupt sleep. - L-Theanine: L-theanine helps increase GABA, a calming neurotransmitter in the brain.
