About This Product
Natural Factors Stress-Relax Peaceful Zzz is a melatonin-free night-time capsule made with Maizinol, an extract of corn leaves. Helps to improve sleep quality. Each capsule holds 250 mg of extract, you take 2 a day, and a bottle of 60 vegetarian capsules lasts a month.
What Peaceful Zzz is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80127580. Alongside sleep quality, the licence lists:
- Helps reduce cortisol levels, a biomarker of physical stress.
- Helps support a healthy mood balance.
What Maizinol is
Maizinol is a branded extract of the leaves of the corn plant, Zea mays, from non-GMO corn. Young corn leaves contain a compound called 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, or 6-MBOA, and Maizinol is standardized to 0.2% of it, so each batch carries a consistent amount. At the label dose of 2 capsules you take 500 mg of extract a day.
Maizinol is the only medicinal ingredient, and the formula contains no melatonin. The capsule shell is plant-based, the other ingredients are rice flour, silica, stearic acid and magnesium stearate, and Natural Factors lists it as suitable for vegans.
Melatonin-free, and why that matters to some people
Plenty of night-time products are built around melatonin. Some people would rather not take it, or already take it and want something different alongside their routine. Peaceful Zzz gives that group a melatonin-free option with its own NPN, built on one plant extract.
How it fits in the Stress-Relax range
Stress-Relax is a Natural Factors product line. It also includes Tranquil Sleep in softgels and chewable tablets, GABA 100 mg and 250 mg, and Mental Calmness. If you specifically want melatonin, Natural Factors sells that separately as RegenerLife Sleep Better with Melatonin 10 mg. Peaceful Zzz is the one to pick when the brief is "no melatonin".
How to take it
Adults 18 and over take 2 capsules a day. Consult a health care practitioner if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you are currently taking any medication or stimulants. The label lists further cautions, in full under How to Take.
