Insomnia is a common concern for many adults and can be related to multiple causative factors from pain to stress to environmental changes. Inadequate or poor quality sleep not only contributes to decreased quality of life but has been linked to chronic health concerns such as metabolic syndrome, impaired immune function or hormone imbalances. Sleep Matrix Ashwagandha offers a balanced formula of evidence-based herbal extracts to help patients experiencing insomnia as well as elevated stress.

Many herbal formulas are capable of improving sleep parameters simply by modulating stress and calming the mind. For example, Matricaria chamomilla is most commonly consumed as a soothing tea but various studies have confirmed its benefits specifically for sleep. A 2015 study that found it improved sleep parameters in postpartum women after just 2 weeks. This sedative effect seems to be due to its apigenin content, a chemical shown to bind GABA receptors.

Passiflora incarnata is another calming herb that stimulates GABA receptors. One trial found improvements in sleep after consuming passionflower tea for just 7 days, while other studies have found that passionflower can acutely reduce stress.

Finally, both Melissa officinalis and Withania somnifera have been included in Ashwagandha Sleep Matrix for their abilities to positively regulate stress and lower blood cortisol levels, respectively. Sensoril® ashwagandha is a patented and well-studied extract shown to lessen irritability, improve concentration and reduce fatigue in stressed individuals.

In addition to herbal extracts, amino acids may play a positive role in supporting stress and insomnia. GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a well-known inhibitory neurotransmitter that has been found to relax the mind and reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. Likewise, L-theanine is a single amino acid, naturally found in green tea, that is well-known to calm the mind and improve focus. Research has found that L-theanine can increase levels of various neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine and GABA, while also blocking excitatory glutamate receptors. Ultimately, L-theanine increases alpha-brain waves and improves stress markers such as heart rate and salivary immunoglobulin A.

Collectively, these ingredients are all included in Sleep Matrix Ashwagandha to support sleep in individuals with an overactive mind and elevated stress. Sleep Matrix Ashwagandha is intentionally free from melatonin and valerian to provide an extremely gentle, yet effective, option for even the most sensitive patients with insomnia.
