Sleep 8 Plus With 5 mg Melatonin 60 Vegetable Capsules

Which Sleep8 Is the Right One for Me?

It depends on your needs. New Roots Herbal’s Sleep8 product family has been formulated with different potencies to best address a wide variety of needs.

The original Sleep8 is based on foundational herbs and adaptogens found in all Sleep8 family products, including passionflower, skullcap, catnip, Panax notoginseng, hops, chamomile, and only a small amount of melatonin (0.5 mg).

Sleep8 Plus and Sleep8 Ultra include 5 mg and 10 mg of melatonin as well as GABA, ʟ-theanine, and lemon balm for additional relaxation.

Why Melatonin Can Help with Your Sleep

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the body and is responsible for maintaining our circadian rhythm, or sleep/wake cycle. After the age of 20, our natural production of this hormone starts to decline. Studies have shown its use is both effective and safe. It’s not surprising that melatonin is the most popular single-ingredient supplement for sleep onset, jet lag, and sleep regulation. Plus, it’s not habit-forming!

A Detailed Look into the Single Ingredients of Sleep8 Plus

Foundational Herbs and Adaptogens in the Sleep8 Family

• Passionflower extract supports production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to suppress excessive brain activity and induce relaxation.
• Skullcap extract supports the nervous system.
• Although catnip drives cats crazy, it helps humans relax.
• Panax notoginseng (qiye shen’an pian) isolate has been shown to support the generation and maintenance of neurons within the cerebral cortex, that are responsible for memory consolidation, perceptual awareness, and consciousness.
• Hops decreases nocturnal activity of the sleep/wake cycle.
• Chamomile is steeped in history for sleep inducement.

Sleep8 Plus includes three signature ingredients which punctuate the “Plus”:

• gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), a critical neurotransmitter, helps temporarily promote relaxation, conducive to good sleep hygiene.
• ʟ-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, helps the brain relax.
• Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) extract, part of the mint family, has a calming effect and has ben used for centuries to reduce stress and promote sleep.
