A Widespread Impact
Sleep is crucial for a healthy life, but one-third of Canadians struggle with sleep problems. Sleep deprivation can affect mental and physical well-being, job performance, memory, relationships, and weight, and even lead to accidents.
What Makes Sleep8 Plus Work?
Sleep8 Plus combines relaxing botanicals and nutraceuticals, including 5 mg of melatonin, the most popular single-ingredient supplement for regulating sleep cycles. It includes GABA, ʟ-theanine, and lemon balm to promote relaxation. Additional foundational herbs and adaptogens found in all products of the Sleep8 family, including passionflower, skullcap, catnip, Panax notoginseng, hops, and chamomile, further support restful sleep.
What about Grogginess, Side Effects and Long-Term Safety?
Sleep8 Plus is a synergistic formula that reduces the risk of morning grogginess. It is not habit-forming, so there is no concern for addiction. Nutraceutical and botanical sleep supplements are often considered safer for long-term use, as they do not carry the same risks of dependence and tolerance that can occur with over-the-counter products.
Which Sleep8 Is the Right One for Me?
It depends on your needs. New Roots Herbal’s Sleep8 product family has been formulated with different potencies to best address a wide variety of needs.
The original Sleep8 is based on foundational herbs and adaptogens found in all Sleep8 family products, including passionflower, skullcap, catnip, Panax notoginseng, hops, chamomile, and only a small amount of melatonin (0.5 mg).
Sleep8 Plus and Sleep8 Ultra include 5 mg and 10 mg of melatonin as well as GABA, ʟ-theanine, and lemon balm for additional relaxation.
Why Melatonin Can Help with Your Sleep
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the body and is responsible for maintaining our circadian rhythm, or sleep/wake cycle. After the age of 20, our natural production of this hormone starts to decline. Studies have shown its use is both effective and safe. It’s not surprising that melatonin is the most popular single-ingredient supplement for sleep onset, jet lag, and sleep regulation. Plus, it’s not habit-forming!
