Good Health Deep Sleep™ with 5HTP
What is Deep Sleep™?
Deep Sleep™ is a unique formulation of key ingredients that support the nervous system during times of stress. Deep Sleep helps with relaxation of the mind and body while also promoting healthy sleep patterns.
Why use Deep Sleep™?
Deep Sleep™ can help induce sleep naturally, without the 'hang over' effects that is often experienced after taking insomnia medication. The blend of ingredients in Deep Sleep help to relax the body and mind with 5HTP to support the nervous system and assist normal sleep patterns by naturally increasing serotonin and melatonin levels in the body. Supplementing with 5HTP can increase the serotonin levels and help to alleviate symptoms such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, overeating, headaches and migraines all of which are a result of low serotonin levels. On entering the brain 5HTP is converted into serotonin, which can then be converted into melatonin, which is an important brain hormone that plays a significant role in sleep and mood regulation.
What are the Key Benefits of Deep Sleep™?
5HTP is a naturally occurring precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is involved in central nervous system regulation of mood, appetite, pain and sleep. If the brain has depleted levels of serotonin, one is quite likely to develop signs of depression, anxiety, insomnia, overeating, headaches and more severely migraines. This is less likely to happen if you supplement with 5HTP.
