The Sleep Relief Difference
*Footnotes
**Adaptogenic herbs are plants that work with your body to help it adapt to stress. Adaptogens are a natural ally in dealing with stress and fatigue. To qualify as an adaptogen it must have broad uses for health, and it must specifically reduce both mental and physical stress. For centuries cultures around the world have used adaptogenic herbs and modern science has proven their powerful health benefits, including for supporting a healthy sleep cycle.
†Standardized extracts guarantee a uniform quality and consistency across manufacturing batches. They also are what are most commonly used in human clinical trials.

Product formula and manufacturing
Q: Why are there adaptogenic herbs in Sleep Relief? A: Adaptogenic herbs such as Ashwaghanda and Jujube help the body react to stress and blunt the response to the stress hormone cortisol. They have calming effects and have been used in traditional cultures around the world to promote healthy sleep.
Q: How much melatonin is in Sleep Relief? A: Sleep Relief contains just 1 mg melatonin per tablet. The body produces only a very small amount of melatonin, and most melatonin products on the market contain more than what is needed for healthy sleep. Additionally, melatonin is eliminated by the body very quickly. That is why Sleep Relief’s bi-phasic, time release tablets are superior, because they provide a slow and steady release of melatonin for your body to use during the night.
Product safety
Q: Is it safe to take Sleep Relief with sleep medications or other sleep aids? A: No. Do not take Sleep Relief if you are taking medications that cause drowsiness.
