Zen Sleep w/ P5P & 5-HTP
60 Vegetarian Capsules
Zen Sleep includes the same amounts of GABA and L-theanine as the best-selling 200 mg of Zen, augmented with vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) and L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the precursor to serotonin and melatonin. The combination helps promote a relaxed state, and provides the necessary factors for the body to produce melatonin, supporting normal, healthy sleep.*
As a dietary supplement, 2 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime, or as directed by a doctor.
Not indicated for pregnant or nursing women.
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is obtained from the seeds of the African shrub Griffonia simplicifolia. In the body, 5-HTP has a variety of ways it may support healthy brain function.* 5-HTP is converted in the body to serotonin, which can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, pain sensation, and mental states.* Serotonin is further converted into melatonin, the well-known sleep hormone.*
Vitamin B6 is required for amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism.* It is required for numerous metabolic transactions in the body, including the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.* The typical form of B6 in supplements is pyridoxine, which requires further transformation to have its full effect. The coenzyme form of B6, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, is the active form of pyridoxine, and supports metabolic needs for a wider range of individuals.*
Research has shown that dietary components can modulate the body’s levels of neurotransmitters, e.g. serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA. Alterations in the levels of these neurotransmitters, perhaps induced by metabolic stress or vitamin deficiencies, e.g. vitamin B6, can significantly influence mood and emotional status, as well as motor function.*
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and is active at 20% of central nervous system synapses. GABA, via its neuronal A receptor, inhibits neurons by causing an influx of chloride ions. This chloride influx initiated by GABA is known to be part of the bodily mechanisms involved with mood, muscle relaxation and sedation.* A decrease in GABA’s function as an inhibitory mediator or a dysregulated sensitivity of GABA receptors can lead to excessive neuronal activity.*
Theanine is also recognized to have calming properties.* Theanine offers a unique combination of actions, allowing it to help relieve occasional sleeplessness, and at other times to help restore calm alertness when experiencing fatigue or drowsiness.* Human studies have demonstrated that oral theanine supplementation increases alpha wave activity, fostering a state of calm relaxation.* Although L-theanine is a component of green tea, Zen Sleep does not contain caffeine.
