What is in each capsule
Melatonin is a hormone your body releases in the evening as daylight fades; each capsule holds 2 mg. Alongside it are two amino acids: 100 mg of L-theanine, found in green tea leaves, and 50 mg of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).
The four herbs come in measured, standardized amounts. Lemon balm leads at 125 mg, standardized to 5% rosmarinic acid. Valerian root comes in at 56 mg, standardized to 0.8% valerenic acid. Passionflower is a 10:1 extract, so its 50 mg equals 500 mg of the dried herb. Skullcap adds another 50 mg.
The capsule shell is hypromellose, made from plant fibre, with carnauba wax, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium alginate. CanPrev lists the formula as vegan and GMO-free, with no gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, sugar, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
How it compares with CanPrev's other sleep formulas
Vitasave carries three CanPrev sleep formulas. Sleep-Reset Melatonin is the herbal-plus-melatonin option. Magnesium + GABA & Melatonin Sleep pairs melatonin and GABA with magnesium, and Sleep-Restore Ashwagandha is built around ashwagandha.
How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 1 to 2 capsules a day as a single dose, 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. For jet lag, take it once a day at bedtime while you travel and at your destination until you have adjusted to the new time zone. Ask a health care practitioner before using it for longer than 4 weeks.
Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after a dose, and skip alcohol and other products that cause drowsiness. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
