Ingredient Overview
•Herbatonin® is a 100% natural, bioidentical plant-based melatonin, with exactly the same molecular structure as human melatonin.1
•Melatonin promotes sleep initiation, improves sleep quality, morning alertness and overall quality of life. It is the neurohormone at the epicentre of circadian rhythms.
•Exposure to blue light in the evening (phones, tablets, computers) compromises and reduces the natural melatonin spike, impacting sleep initiation, sleep quality, and the cleansing and restorative processes that occur overnight.2,3
•Quality sleep plays a significant role in restoring brain energy, processing information, neuroplasticity, learning, memory consolidation and the clearing of brain metabolites through the glymphatic system. A lack of quality sleep impairs these critical functions, ultimately impacting physical and mental health, cognitive function, and the restoration of body and mind.
