We all love to sleep and all feel the difference when we do not have a good night of it, so how can we make sure we get the dreamy sleep we’re all looking for. Well, Melatonin can play a huge part in helping. Let’s dig a bit deeper. 

What is Melatonin? 

Well, Melatonin is a hormone that is produced naturally in the body by the pineal gland, a small gland located in the brain. It plays a key role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening as it gets dark, and then decrease in the morning as it becomes light. This helps to promote sleep at night and wakefulness during the day. It is also available as a supplement in pill, or liquid, like our Rest and Repair Liquid, or via a vitamin patch, like our Meletonin and Gaba Patch, which is up to 10 times more absorbent than pills and is designed to help improve sleep, particularly in individuals who have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. 

Some of the benefits of taking melatonin include:

1. Improved Sleep: Melatonin can help improve sleep quality and quantity, particularly in individuals who have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
   
   

2. Reduced Jet Lag: Melatonin can help reduce the symptoms of jet lag, such as daytime fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and disorientation.
   
   

3. Reduced Insomnia: Melatonin can help reduce the symptoms of insomnia, such as difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
   
   

4. Improved Mood: Melatonin may have a positive impact on mood, particularly in individuals who experience depression or seasonal affective disorder.
   
   

5. Reduced Inflammation: Melatonin has antioxidant properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body, which can have a range of health benefits.
   
   

6. Improved Immune Function: Melatonin has been shown to have immune-boosting effects, which may help protect against infection and disease.

But what about GABA? There has been a lot of press about GABA recently but what exactly is it?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical messenger that helps to transmit signals in the brain and nervous system. It is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and plays a key role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the brain. Okay, that’s the ‘’sciencey’’ stuff, basically GABA helps to reduce the activity of neurons in the brain, which can help to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. It is involved in many different physiological processes in the body, including sleep, mood, and muscle tone. GABA supplements are used as a natural remedy for anxiety or sleep problems and are contained within our Melatonin Patch. 

Some of the major benefits of taking GABA include:

1. Reduced Anxiety:GABA is known for its calming and anti-anxiety effects. Increasing GABA levels in the brain may help to reduce anxiety symptoms and promote relaxation.
   
   

2. Improved Sleep:GABA is involved in the regulation of sleep and may help to promote deeper, more restful sleep. It is a natural calmative and helps calm a busy mind. 
   
   

3. Enhanced Mood:GABA is thought to play a role in regulating mood, and some research suggests that increasing GABA levels in the brain may help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
   
   

4. Lowered Blood Pressure: GABA has been shown to have a blood pressure-lowering effect in some individuals, which may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
   
   

5. Improved Focus: GABA may help to improve focus and concentration in some individuals, although more research is needed to understand the potential benefits for cognitive function.

As with any supplements, it’s important to note that it may interfere with other medications and it’s always best to talk to a healthcare provider before taking them.
