Sleep: Reishi+ Capsules

For centuries Reishi has been used for its calming properties and ability to soothe stress and anxiety.

The most prominent Reishi benefits are its calming and stress-reducing qualities. Reishi mushroom has been called the ultimate anti-stress herb, for good reasons and is a must have in any calming supplement.

Ashwagandha is perhaps best known for its ability to reduce stress. It’s classified as an adaptogen, a substance that helps the body cope with stress.

Ashwagandha appears to help control cortisol levels (the stress hormone) to help you remain calm whenever the feeling of stress comes on.

Many people also take ashwagandha to promote restful sleep. A good night's sleep will help reduce the feeling of stress, however, high-stress levels make good sleep hard which makes Ashwagandha an ideal remedy for stress.

Research suggests that L-Theanine may contribute to a feeling of relaxation by reducing a person’s resting heart rate.

Several studies have suggested that L-Theanine could help people relax before bedtime, get to sleep more easily, and sleep more deeply.

These benefits may result from the specific effects that the amino acid has on brain chemicals that play a role in sleep.

5-HTP produces serotonin, which can be converted into the sleep hormone melatonin.

Melatonin plays an important role in regulating sleep. Its levels begin to rise in the evening to naturally promote sleep and falls again in the morning to help wake you up.

Therefore, supplementing with 5-HTP will promote sleep by increasing melatonin production in your body.

One human-based study showed that 5-HTP significantly reduced the time it took to fall asleep, increased sleep duration, and improved sleep quality.
