ICONFIT Sleeping Capsules

(SLEEPING CAPSULES) contains highly effective natural medicinal plants - valerian and lemon balm extracts, amino acid L-theanine, melatonin, magnesium and vitamin B6. The pace of life is often extremely stressful, so it is very important to get a good rest. However, more and more people find it difficult to fall asleep at night, and if they manage to fall asleep, the stage of deep sleep is not enough, so they wake up without rest. With a lack of sleep, the brain and body systems no longer function normally. Lack of sleep can significantly reduce the quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to pay special attention to sleep.

Natural herbs – valerian and lemon balm extracts are known in folk medicine as sedative plants that help with stress and sleep disorders. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) plays an important role before and during the first phase of sleep, when the body needs to calm down, relax, sink into a slumber in order to move to the second stage of sleep. Melissa (Melissa officinalis) has traditionally been used to improve various cognitive processes, reduce stress and anxiety

Magnesium is well known as a supplement that relaxes muscles and promotes deeper sleep. Magnesium helps maintain normal psychological functions, nervous system activity, energy metabolism and electrolyte balance.

Vitamin B6 helps to maintain normal energy metabolism, physical functions and normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity - it stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin, which are necessary for healthy and restful sleep.

L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. L-theanine can positively affect key neurotransmitters (compounds that transmit nerve impulses) related to stress, sleep, mood, attention, and memory. L-theanine helps maintain balance in the neurotransmitter system, thereby reducing mental, emotional and physical disorders caused by excessive stress.

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain in response to darkness. It helps restore the circadian rhythm (the natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle that repeats approximately every 24 hours) and sleep. Melatonin shortens the time to fall asleep (a positive effect occurs when 1 mg of melatonin is taken just before going to bed). Melatonin also relieves jet lag syndrome (a positive effect is achieved with a minimum dose of 0,5 g, which should be taken before going to bed on the first day of the trip and several days after arriving at the destination).

The importance of sleep for our body. Important physical and mental processes take place during sleep. During rest, the body saves energy and lowers blood pressure, slows heart rate, slows breathing, and lowers body temperature. In our bodies, information is transmitted through the central nervous system. For it to function properly, sleep is necessary. During sleep, as the nerve cells (neurons) in the brain interact, new information is memorized. Due to lack of sleep, the brain becomes tired and cannot perform its functions.

Here are some tips to improve your sleep:

Try to avoid caffeine and energy drinks in the afternoon or at least a few hours before bed.
Stick to a sleep schedule - go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning.
Engage in relaxing activities such as reading, meditating, or taking a bath. Try to reduce the amount of time you watch TV or other media.
Do not exercise before bed. Regular exercise is essential, but if possible, avoid exercise a few hours before bedtime.
The bedroom should have a pleasant temperature and dim lighting.
Reduce your alcohol consumption.

Remember: A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important! Taking care of your health is a very welcome thing. When we take care of ourselves, our physical and emotional health, we are happier, more energetic and more productive. Good sleep, physical activity, quality, healthy food and communication with other people are especially important for human health. If you include as many different foods as possible in your diet - vegetables, fruits, various grain dishes, bread products, meat, the body will absorb all the substances that are useful for it and it is likely that there will be no shortage of them. Supplements, vitamins, minerals are just nutritional supplements, use them only if you know well that you lack one or another substance. Or if it was recommended by a doctor. An ideal option if you can take a blood test and determine exactly which substances you lack. Be healthy and happy!
