Specialist Supplements Pyjama Time

PyjamaTime is a specialist combination night time blend, with specially selected herbal, amino acid, vitamin and mineral ingredients. Ideal support for winding down in the evenings and waking up feeling refreshed and energised in the mornings. This food supplement combines: ashwagandha, passion flower, German chamomile flower, lemon balm leaves and lavender with L-Taurine, L-Theanine, 5-HTP and niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin and magnesium. 5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia seed) 5-HTP is an amino acid that the body naturally produces. It uses it to produce serotonin - a chemical messenger that sends signals between nerve cells. Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems. Ashwagandha Traditionally prescribed as a nerve tonic and adaptogen, ashwagandha helps the body adapt to various emotional and physical stressors. It is a highly effective remedy to help reduce stress and anxiety, by lowering cortisol levels and mimicking the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This compound lowers brain activity, which may help you to relax and sleep better. Ashwagandha has classically been used in India for nearly 5,000 years for conditions such as failure to thrive in children, weakness and debility in old age, rheumatism, constipation, insomnia, nervous conditions, stress, goiter, joint inflammation, parasites, hormone balance and more. Passion flower Studies suggest passion flower helps to relieve insomnia and anxiety. It appears to boost the level of GABA in the brain. German chamomile flower Traditionally, chamomile preparations such as tea and essential oil aromatherapy, have been used to treat insomnia and to induce sedation (calming effects). Chamomile is widely regarded as a mild tranquilliser and sleep-inducer. Lemon balm leaves Lemon balm has traditionally been used to improve mood and cognitive function, but it can also help to ease insomnia and other sleep disorders, as well as help to help relieve restlessness. Lavender Traditionally used as sleep enhancer. Lavender oil is mainly linalyl acetate (51%) and linalool (35%), which are chemicals that are both rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Studies have shown that these compounds inhibit several neurotransmitters and have a sedative and pain-relieving effect. L-Taurine Taurine - a conditional amino acid - is one of many naturally-occurring compounds in the body that, like melatonin, increases in response to prolonged periods of being awake. Biochemically, taurine activates GABA(A) receptors in a brain region known to regulate sleep, and it is involved in the creation of the "sleep hormone" melatonin in the pineal gland. L-Theanine L-theanine is an amino acid that is found in tea leaves. It can help to promote relaxation and facilitate sleep by contributing to a number of changes in the brain.
