The supplement Sleep Gummies contains 30 sleep gummies. If you find it hard to get to sleep, wake up in the middle of the night, or often feel tired in the morning, then these chewable sleep gummies are for you.
Sleep Gummies are made entirely from natural ingredients selected to help speed up the process of falling into a deep, uninterrupted sleep: melatonin, CBD, L-theanine, vitamin B12, valerian root and passiflora. These convenient, tasty, sugar-free gummies are one of the new premier products in our ‘Sleep Problems’ category.
What benefits do Sleep Gummies offer?
These ‘soporific sweets’ contain:
- melatonin. A hormone produced by the pineal gland, melatonin helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, and is thus often referred to as the ‘sleep hormone’. Taking melatonin is recognised for helping to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. It’s also used to help ease the effects of jet lag (1);
- cannabidiol (CBD). An ingredient rarely found in sleep gummy products, cannabidiol or CBD is extracted from hemp, also known as cannabis. When used for medical purposes, CBD is referred to as ‘therapeutic cannabis’. It is able to bind directly to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, and as a result, lowers the intensity of neuronal activity, so reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Many studies have found that CBD can reduce insomnia – difficulty falling, and staying, asleep. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic effects and is non-addictive (2-3) ;
- L-theanine. The main amino acid present in tea, L-theanine has been appreciated across the world for thousands of years. Tea, and thus L-theanine, have featured in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 5000 years, recommended for easing tension and calming the nerves. Current studies have found that L-theanine promotes relaxation and reduces stress, so improving the quality of sleep. It has also been shown to increase levels of GABA, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, known for its calming effects (4);
- vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). Vitamin B12 supports normal nervous system and psychological function and helps to reduce fatigue. A lack of vitamin B12 is associated with fatigue and insomnia (5-6) ;
- valerian root(Valeriana officinalis). The root of this herbaceous plant has been used for centuries for its calming and sedative effects. It is recognised for supporting mental health and good quality sleep. Its soothing properties come from its active ingredients valerenone and valerenic acid, which are able to increase the release of GABA in the brain and limit its recapture (7-8) ;
- passiflora (Passiflora incarnata). This climbing plant with luxuriant flowers is traditionally used to reduce restlessness and promote restorative sleep. One of its active ingredients, harmalol, activates GABA receptors while reducing levels of glutamate (an excitatory neurotransmitter which often causes us to wake up too early) (9-10).
In short, these excellent gummies are a delicious way of providing everything you need to bid farewell to sleepless nights!
Why is the supplement Sleep Gummies the best product of its kind?
Sleep Gummies stands out from other such products in five aspects:
- the presence of cannabidiol (CBD). Even though it’s a trusted ingredient used to great effect in the therapeutic field, CBD is rarely included in sleep gummy products;
- the absence of sugar. Gummy-type supplements are often criticised for being little more than high-sugar ‘sweets’ rather than genuine nutritional supplements. But this is not a criticism that can be levelled at Sleep Gummies as it contains no added sugar;
- the affordable price. Despite containing only high-quality natural ingredients, powerfully-dosed, and a generous 30 gummies per pack, we have made sure they remain as affordable as possible;
- the fact they are non-addictive. All the ingredients have been chosen in order to produce a non-addictive supplement;
- the efficacy and broad-spectrum action of the formulation. These sleep-inducing ‘sweets’ also contain melatonin to facilitate falling asleep, relaxing plant extracts to ensure a deep, long-lasting sleep and other compounds with scientifically-proven effects.
