Sleep Balance plus, 90 capsules

Sleep Balance plus

Medicinal herbs and melatonin in adaptogenic formulation

Melatonin - helps to fall asleep gently

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally in the body and is important for our natural sleep-wake rhythm. When it gets dark, the body produces more melatonin and we become tired. However, stress, bright light, long summer days, a changed sleep rhythm or age can disrupt this process and make it difficult to fall asleep. This is where Schlaf Balance plus can help: each capsule contains 1 mg melatonin, which has been proven to help you fall asleep faster.
The special thing about this mixture is that St. Helia deliberately does not use individual, high-dose substances. Melatonin is combined with 5-HTP from the black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia), from which the body can produce melatonin itself if required. Schlaf Balance Plus also contains selected herbs from different parts of the world.

Who is melatonin particularly suitable for?

Not everyone produces the same amount of melatonin and personal requirements can also vary.
The body starts to sleep later, the day-night rhythm is shifted, travelling with a time difference is imminent - melatonin can help to alleviate the feeling of jet lag. With increasing age (from around 50 years), the body produces noticeably less melatonin.

Plant knowledge from around the world - 6 good helpers for the evening

• Valerian, hops, passion flower and lavender - well-known plants from European herbalism. Lavender is contained twice: as a fine essential oil and as a ground flower.
• Saffron is a very expensive spice that is painstakingly extracted by hand from the threads of thousands of real saffron flowers (Crocus sativus).
• Ashwagandha: Each capsule contains 100 mg ashwagandha extract, including 5 mg withanolides. The extract comes from the root of Withania somnifera, also known as "sleeping berry" or "Indian ginseng", which has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine.

This blend is good for anyone who wants to relax more easily in the evening and sleep better.

Tips

• Darkness promotes the body's own melatonin production, while daylight and blue light (e.g. from screens) inhibit it. Reducing bright light and avoiding blue light in the last hour or two before going to bed (e.g. by using a blue light filter, night mode or dimming) can also help you fall asleep.
• When travelling with a time difference, it is advisable to start taking melatonin one day before departure. This can help to adjust the day-night rhythm to the destination more quickly.
