Rest Well (90 caps)
Benefits:
- Restorative sleep*
- Healthier REM deep sleep rhythms*
- Mood and energy stability*
- Neurohormonal balance*
- Premenstrual and perimenopausal hormone balance*
Active forms of vitamins B2 (riboflavin 5’-phosphate) and B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate)
- Essential cofactors that maximize the absorption and benefits of L-Tryptophan
Rest Well enhances restful, healing sleep by restoring healthy brain chemistry and produces better brain activity, mood, energy and hormonal balance. L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that produces a mood-enhancing neurotransmitter called serotonin. When the body is deficient in tryptophan, it also lacks serotonin. This can inhibit sleep and trigger numerous physical and/or mental disorders. Adequate levels of tryptophan are essential for biochemical balance of the brain.
