Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus, Mycelia)

L-Tryptophan (Tryptophan)
Full Night Formula 30mg / Lite Formula 30mg

Well known for its sedative and sleep inducing qualities, L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is a precursor for the hormones serotonin and melatonin. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in response to decreasing light exposure. Tryptophan supports production of melatonin, which regulates circadian rhythms and enhances sleep. Tryptophan also may be useful for treating anxiety, depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa, Root)
Full Night Formula 15mg / Lite Formula 25mg

This herb has the function of tonifying the Blood and Yin, deficiencies of which are a common reason for insomnia in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is used to relieve anxiety and nervous exhaustion.

Research has demonstrated that Rehmannia inhibits metabolism of cortisol by reducing the suppressive effects of glucocorticoids on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Therefore, this herb reduces the physiological response to stress. This action is in part due to the constituents in the root called iridoid glycosides.
