The “little helpers” for a Healthy sleep!
“Sleep is the best medicine”; we know this from our own experience: during a cold, after a stressful week or a long evening. The body recovers during sleep and recharges its batteries.
The cause of sleep problems is often a lack of the body’s own sleep messenger melatonin or stress-related restlessness and the associated difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.
The “little” helpers for the night
Fall asleep and stay asleep!
Melatonin
– helps to shorten the time it takes to fall asleep. The positive effect occurs after taking 1 mg of melatonin shortly before going to bed
– Melatonin helps to alleviate the subjective feeling of jet lag. The positive effect occurs when at least 0.5 mg of melatonin is taken on the first day of travel shortly before going to bed and on the first days after arrival at the destination
Magnesium
– contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal mental function
Vitamin B6
– contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, the regulation of hormone activity and normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
Folic acid
– contributes to normal blood formation and normal function of the Immune System
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)
– is a natural compound extracted from the seeds of the African black
bean Griffonia simplicifolia

Strength lies in tranquillity
“Tired and exhausted becomes awake and active” is the tangible benefit of sleep. In addition to this elementary, physiological need for rest and inner recovery, other endogenous processes also take place in the background. These make it clear what a positive influence restful sleep can have on our body in the long term. The following processes take place in the body while we rest at night:
– Strengthening the Immune System
– Reduction of inflammation
– Detoxification processes
– Regeneration and healing
– Memory formation
– Stress reduction
– Processing of sensory impressions
If the *circadian rhythm is disturbed, the endogenous sleep-wake rhythm (internal clock) and the external light-dark cycle are offset (desynchronization).
*Circadian rhythms – the internal clock
The “little” helpers for the night
Sleep needs darkness
It is not for nothing that the body demands the sleep it lacks at some point after a strenuous day in order to ensure these important processes and thus maintain Health. In addition to a relaxing place to sleep, darkness is also important in the desire for a restful night. Because with the onset of darkness, or in a darkened bedroom, the release of the sleep hormone melatonin begins via a physiological, nutrient-accompanying process, which initiates and maintains sleep.
Melatonin
The sleep hormone melatonin is produced under natural conditions in darkness in the pineal gland from the amino acid tryptophan and then released in pulses into the bloodstream. This is triggered by the light intensity in the retina of the eye. The associated rhythm is controlled in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) by light via the retino-hypothalamic pathway (RH tract). The signal travels via the paraventricular nucleus to the noradrenergic receptors of the pineal gland. The final synthesis of melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan takes place in the pineal gland.
5-HTP
As a metabolite and precursor of serotonin and ultimately of the sleep hormone melatonin, 5-hydroxytryptophan is recommended to improve the quality of sleep, even in cases of severe or stress-related difficulties falling asleep and staying asleep.
