Restful Sleep
Brand: Whole Foods Premier Formula
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This supplement targets sleep onset and relaxation via synergistic botanicals. Valerian enhances GABA signaling in the brain, calming neural activity to promote drowsiness. Passionflower and Hops modulate GABA receptors similarly, reducing anxiety for faster sleep initiation. L-Theanine boosts alpha brain waves, easing stress without sedation. Wild Lettuce and Jamaica Dogwood provide mild analgesic and sedative effects, potentially easing restlessness. Together, these Valerian, Passionflower, and Hops extracts support deeper rest by balancing neurotransmitters involved in the sleep-wake cycle.
