What is keeping you up at night? Stress? Worry? Hormonal changes? An illness?
Having supported clients of all ages, from all walks of life, we know every person will have their own bedtime battles to conquer. For this reason, we don’t recommend a blanket solution but work hand-in-hand with you to understand your unique challenges before recommending a particular supplement, homeopathic tincture or nourishing herbal formula.
That being said, we do have our favourites. Here are six natural sleep supplements, which have been thoroughly researched by our practitioners and appreciated by sleep-happy clients.
Sereni-Pro™ Herbal Adaptogen Formula
Too stressed to sleep?
Adaptogens are herbs that help the body cope with prolonged stress. Incorporating four of the most effective adaptogens including Ashwagandha and Lavender, Sereni-Pro™ is designed to promote mental and emotional wellbeing.
Studies have shown that Ashwagandha is able to reduce low mood and sleeplessness effectively.
In clinic, we’ve found this formula is particularly useful for clients suffering from tension and fatigue.
Vital Nutrients B Complex
Known to prevent fatigue from prolonged stress, a high potency B complex supplement is also proven to improve mental health and vigour, as well as enhanced cognitive performance during intense mental processing. Scientists have confirmed that B complex can help support you through burnout for this reason.
This supplement delivers high potency B vitamins in their methylated form. When choosing a B vitamin formula, it’s essential you choose methylated – one third of the population has an MTHFR gene mutation, meaning they can’t absorb B vitamin unless in this form.
Vital Nutrients Magnesium (glycinate/malate)
An alarming 60-70% of Hong Kong residents have insufficient levels of magnesium, according to a recent Government study. Is it any wonder, therefore, that Hong Kong scores low on sleep in regional sleep and wellness surveys?
Magnesium imbalance has been associated with increased levels of stress – known to sabotage sleep. Tell-tale signs include muscle twitching and sugar cravings- which can exacerbate sleep issues.
Unlike other forms of magnesium, Vital Nutrients Magnesium Glycinate/Malate is easy to absorb. Our clients have reported significant sleep success once they address magnesium levels.
Sleep Manager
A powerhouse of five natural herbs, this formula helps decrease stress responses that keep you awake at night. Sleep Manager helps alleviate worry, returning the brain to a state that allows the body to relax and sleep better. In our clinical experience, when used over several weeks, this formula also provides relief from waking up too early, thus alleviating stress-related fatigue.
Innate Response C Complete Powder
Vitamin C is not only important to your immune system, it’s vital for sleep. Research shows that people who are short on Vitamin C tend to sleep less and wake up more. Not only that, but their stress levels leave their immune systems compromised. By boosting your vitamin C levels, you can boost your immunity while improving your sleep quality.
Vital Nutrients Ultra Pure Fish Oil 1400
Can’t sleep because your kids can’t sleep? Omega-3s are proven to help children sleep longer and better, naturally.
Formulated to provide a high concentration of essential omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, this pure and gentle lemon-tasting liquid is free from yeast, wheat, gluten, dairy, artificial colourings and preservatives.
