How can Magnesium support sleep?
In order to sleep, your brain needs to feel relaxed and tired, so it naturally starts to wind things down near the end of the day, in preparation for sleep. Magnesium helps push this process along through its interactions with your melatonin levels and nervous system. Magnesium regulates both neurotransmitters and melatonin. Neurotransmitters relay messages between your brain and your nervous system, and your melatonin levels control your sleep-wake cycles. Magnesium can help to calm the nervous system by binding to special GABA receptors. GABA are neurotransmitters that are made in the brain that function to reduce nerve activity, thereby calming your nervous system in preparation for sleep.

What is Passion flower and why is it included in this formula?
Passion flower – This is one of the most popular and efficacious herbs used for helping people sleep. Traditionally it was used by the Native Americans as a mild sedative to help with insomnia. European herbalists in the 16th Century used it to help relieve conditions with a psychological or emotional component (e.g. stomach upsets caused by stress or worry). Today, practitioners often recommend it for people who are restless, tense or anxious: as its relaxing and calming properties are also known to help with disturbed sleep.
