Nutritional support for calm brain activity*

Insomnitol™ helps promote the body’s natural ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.* The body requires sufficient nutrients in order to obtain high-quality sleep.

What This Product Is

Insomnitol is a blend of botanicals, nutrients, and neurotransmitter precursors formulated to help support quality, restful sleep. By providing nutritional support for calm brain activity, Insomnitol helps promote the body’s natural ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. Key ingredients include botanicals that support nervous system function, PharmaGABA® (a proprietary form of GABA), L-theanine, melatonin, 5-HTP, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the activated form of vitamin B6).*

Melatonin is a multifunctional hormone that regulates the body’s natural sleep–wake cycle. L-theanine helps promote a healthy stress response and brain relaxation. GABA is the body’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, supporting calming of the nervous system. Valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, and chamomile are calming herbs that support relaxation.*

Mechanism of Action

Melatonin and 5-HTP for Sleep-Wake Cycle Support

3 mg of melatonin supports a normal circadian rhythm. 100 mg of 5-HTP is an important precursor to serotonin and melatonin. 10 mg of vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate is necessary for melatonin and serotonin production.*

PharmaGABA and L-Theanine for Calming Brain Activity

100 mg of GABA (as PharmaGABA) supports calm brain activity as the body’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. 100 mg of L-theanine promotes relaxation and a healthy stress response.*

Calming Botanical Extracts for Relaxation

400 mg of valerian root extract supports restful sleep. 200 mg each of passionflower, lemon balm, and chamomile extracts with targeted amounts of bioactive constituents provide calming herbal support.*
