To gain maximum benefit from the supplement Sleep Gummies, we suggest taking one chewable gummy a day, without water, at bedtime. Our delicious gummies should be chewed and swallowed just like normal sweets.

If you’re going through a particularly rough period insomnia-wise, you can take your gummies every night until your sleep improves. This supplement can also be taken on a more occasional basis, according to your needs.

Sleep issues can cause irritability, mood disorders, weight gain, heart problems, disruption to the immune system… It’s essential we get enough sleep in order for our bodies to regenerate. We should actually be spending a third of our life asleep (which is often not the case).

To restore good quality sleep, try to ensure that, alongside taking your gummies, you:

• ‘board that sleep train’ at the right time. Night-time sleep is divided into 3-6 cycles, each lasting 60-120 minutes. If you don’t act at the first signs of fatigue by going to bed, you’ll have to wait for the next cycle before the urge to sleep comes round again;
• avoid blue light. Screens (smartphones, computers …) emit blue light which reduces melatonin production and thus makes it harder to fall asleep (11). As a general rule, it’s important to close your curtains, blinds or shutters at night and switch off all light sources in order to be able to sleep soundly. Conversely, try to get out during the day to get some exposure to natural light;
• engage in physical activity so that you’re properly tired. You can exercise during the day or evening, but avoid doing so an hour before going to bed;
• don’t over-heat your bedroom. The ideal temperature for sleeping is between 16° and 18°C);
• include tryptophan-rich foods at dinner (eggs, meat, dairy products, almonds, cashew nuts, bananas, dark chocolate …) Tryptophan is an amino acid precursor of melatonin, serotonin, 5-HTP, etc. (12) It’s also a good idea to focus on starches (pasta, rice, potatoes …) to prevent nocturnal cravings. But avoid heavy or high-fat meals, as well as alcohol and, of course, coffee.

For a quick and easy way of boosting your intake of tryptophan, the amino acid mentioned above, take the supplement L-Tryptophan along with your sleep gummies (it offers an excellent dose of 1000 mg of tryptophan a day).

If you’re having trouble sleeping because you’re particularly stressed or anxious, the relaxing effects of ashwagandha, in addition to Sleep Gummies, can help. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Indian plant that plays a central role in Ayurvedic medicine. It will help you to relax and regain emotional balance, and is therefore perfect during periods of intense mental stress and nervous tension (13). Our product Super Ashwagandha offers the advantage of a high dose of withanolides (the plant’s active ingredients) while being free from withaferin A, recognised as cytotoxic.

Last but not least, if you often feel tired when you wake up in the morning, you may be lacking in vitamin C or the trace-element magnesium. Both play a part in maintaining energy metabolism(14). We’d recommend opting for the product Liposomal Vitamin C as the vitamin C is protected in lipid capsules called liposomes, ensuring superior absorption. Magnesium-wise, choose OptiMag, which combines 8 forms of highly-bioavailable magnesium and provides 100% of the recommended daily intake for magnesium.

This product’s capsules are made of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide obtained by fermenting tapioca or corn. Pullulan contains no animal ingredients and provides an excellent barrier to oxygen, helping to preserve the integrity of the capsule’s ingredients. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials.
