Super Sleep from Webber Naturals combines the natural health products melatonin, L-theanine, and 5-HTP, which are used as relaxants and sleep aids, into one convenient supplement. Together, these ingredients help temporarily promote relaxation and help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep. This formula features melatonin to help increase the total sleep time (an aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule (e.g., shift work and jet lag).
Melatonin helps reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle, an aspect of the circadian rhythm. It helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (the sleep onset latency aspect of sleep quality) in people who fall asleep slowly or with delayed sleep phase disorder. Melatonin is also taken to help prevent or reduce the effects of jet lag (e.g., daytime fatigue and sleep disturbance) for people travelling by plane if flying east over two or more time zones.
5-HTP is included as a supportive ingredient for melatonin. This plant-sourced amino acid is a derivative of the essential amino acid tryptophan. At higher dosages, 5-HTP is used as a sleep aid. L-theanine is an amino acid compound found in green tea that helps promote relaxation temporarily.
