Sleep Balance plus, 90 capsules

Sleep Balance plus

Medicinal herbs and melatonin in an adaptogenic formula

Melatonin - helps you fall asleep gently

Melatonin is an endogenous hormone and important for our natural sleep-wake rhythm. When it gets dark, the body produces more melatonin and we become sleepy. But stress, bright light, long summer days, a changed sleep rhythm or age can disturb this process and make falling asleep more difficult. Sleep Balance plus can help here: each capsule contains 1 mg of melatonin, which has been shown to help you fall asleep faster.
The special feature of this blend is that St. Helia consciously does not use individual, highly dosed substances. Instead, they trust that the body itself knows best what it needs. Thus melatonin is combined with 5-HTP from the black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia), from which the body can produce melatonin itself if required. In addition, Sleep Balance Plus contains selected herbs from various parts of the world.

Who is melatonin particularly suitable for?

Not everyone produces the same amount of melatonin and individual needs can vary.
Some people start to fall asleep later, their day-night rhythm is shifted, or travel with time differences is planned — 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, passionflower and lavender - well-known plants from European herbal medicine. Lavender is included twice: as a fine essential oil and as ground flowers.
• Saffron is a very expensive spice, painstakingly harvested by hand from the stigmas of thousands of true saffron flowers (Crocus sativus).
• Ashwagandha: Each capsule contains 100 mg of ashwagandha extract, of which 5 mg are withanolides. The extract comes from the root of Withania somnifera, also known as the "sleep berry" or "Indian ginseng", which has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine.

This blend is suitable for anyone who wishes 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 one to two hours before bedtime (e.g. using blue-light filters, night mode or dimming) can additionally support falling asleep.
• For travel involving time differences, it is advisable to start taking melatonin one day before departure. This can help adjust the day-night rhythm to the destination more quickly.
