Rest Formula provides key nutrients that help support healthy sleep, including vitamin B6 which supports serotonin production, and melatonin, which influences the sleep and wake cycle. It also contains herbs such as Valerian Root and Passion Flower, which have been used to enhance sleep and relaxation for centuries. Rest Formula also contains minerals that, if depleted in the body, can hinder your ability to rest. This product includes:
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)
An amino acid that your body naturally produces. It supports the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system and thus regulates the sleep/wake cycle of the body. It also supports against depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems. The body uses serotonin as a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells.
Ascorbic acid
(See Vitamin C)
Calcium (as calcium ascorbate, as calcium butyrate, as calcium citrate malate, calcium pantothenate, as calcium d-pantothenate, as levomefolate calcium)
A key mineral that is the most abundant in the human body and is necessary for all life. It is a fundamental component of bone formation and structure and keeping them healthy, enables blood to clot, muscles to contract and the heart to beat. Calcium supports the cells ability to absorb Vitamin C and other nutrients and supports the deep levels of sleep cycle. It also contributes to nerve transmission, blood sugar metabolism, joint health, kidney function, balances pH levels and contributes to nutrient transportation in the bloodstream.
Carotenoid
Carotenoids are plant pigments responsible for bright red, yellow and orange hues in many fruits, vegetables, algae and photosynthetic bacteria. There are more than 600 different types of pigments that act as antioxidants in the human body, many of which are very potent and powerful by deactivating free radicals. Many can be converted to vitamin A in the body which is essential to vision and normal growth and development. Carotenoids also have anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits, sometimes associated with cardiovascular disease prevention.
L- Taurine
An amino acid which enhances relaxation in the body. It has important functions in the heart and brain, including supporting nerve growth. Research suggests it seems to lower blood pressure and calm the sympathetic nervous system, which is often too active in people with high blood pressure by decreasing the resistance to blood flow in your blood vessel walls. It is also known to reduce cholesterol as well.
L-Theanine
An amino acid that may affect serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, sleep and quality of sleep, emotion, and cortisol which helps the body deal with stress. Research shows it benefits better mental focus, relaxation, increased cognitive performance, weight loss, boosts the immune system, reduces blood pressure and can support certain cancer medications.
Magnesium (as magnesium carbonate, as magnesium citrate, as magnesium gluconate, as magnesium hydrogen citrate, as magnesium lactate)
Magnesium is an important mineral, playing a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body that regulate diverse biochemical reactions including protein synthesis. Magnesium supports a number of physical issues including healthy blood pressure, mood, sleep and quality of sleep, muscles, blood pressure, cardiovascular system, bone health, metabolism, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels and platelet activity. Can also support insulin receptor site sensitivity.
Magnesium Stearate (capsules only)
A form of chelated magnesium, it is a salt of the fatty acid (stearic acid) that is produced when a magnesium ion bonds with two stearate molecules. Magnesium stearate is a fine white powder that sticks to your skin and is greasy to the touch, used in food as a lubricant.
Melatonin
Melatonin is the only known hormone synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland and is released in response to darkness, being influenced by light. It influences the sleep and wake cycle. Melatonin levels naturally rise in the evening which sets in motion the sleep part of the cycle.
Methionine
(See L-Methionine)
Microcrystalline Cellulose (powder only)
(MCC) is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer and an anti-caking agent. It is a white, free-flowing powder and an inert substance that is a fat substitute, acts as an emulsifier, an extender and bulking agent in food production, mostly commonly used in vitamin supplements or tablets.
Niacin (as niacinamide)
Niacin is part of the vitamin B complex family, known as vitamin B3. (Niacinamide is the converted form of Niacin which does not produce the red flushing effect). This compound supports the body to break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy. One of its many benefits is supporting the body's ability to turn down unnecessary immune responses, bring about normal fetal development, improve cardiovascular health, improve cholesterol levels and maintain good colon health, supports perinatal mood management and also supports resolution of sleep difficulties.
Passion Flower
Also known as Passion flowers is a climbing vine plant (Passifloraceae or Passiflora) studies suggest that certain species may have medicinal benefits which supports relaxation of the body, and may help treat anxiety and insomnia. It is also used to treat boils, wounds, earaches and liver problems.
Pyridoxal 5-phosphate
(See Vitamin B6)
S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM-e)
(aka SAM-e) This is a compound found naturally in the body or synthetically as a supplement. It powers over 200 enzymes necessary for healthy cell growth, maturation and specialization. In the brain, SAM-e is required for nerve cells to make energy, maintain connectivity, and generate mood-related neurotransmitters. It supports methylation which is critical for thinking, repairing DNA, turning on and off genes, fighting infections and getting rid of toxins. It also supports the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system. Serotonin regulates the sleep/wake cycle of the body.
SAM-e
(see S-Adenosylmethionine)
Silica (capsules only)
Silica is a natural compound found all throughout nature. It makes up over a quarter of the planet's crust and can be found in most rocks, clays and sands. It helps to strengthen the connective tissues of the brain, nerve cells, and spinal cord thereby improving memory and supports prevention of memory loss. It also supports stabilization of the pancreas' release of insulin.
Stevia Extract (powder only)
An extract from the Stevia plant leaves (Stevia rebaudiana), a subgroup of the Asteraceae family (ragweed). It is a zero-calorie sweetener and may support lowered Total cholesterol and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides, while increasing HDL ("good" cholesterol) and lower blood pressure.

Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5-phosphate)
Vitamin B6 (also known as pyridoxine) is a water soluble vitamin that your body needs for several functions. A key nutrient for healthy bone function, supporting antioxidation, blood sugar metabolism and glucose tolerance. It is a cofactor for energy production. Helps to support homocysteine levels and secretions of insulin, glucagon and tryptophan metabolism, lymphocyte activity as well as cytokine and antibody production. This vitamin helps the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system which regulates the sleep/wake cycle of the body and is key in the body's immune system response.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid, as calcium ascorbate, manganese ascorbate, acerola cherry powder, rose hips, hesperidin, rutin)
Vitamin C (also known as L-ascorbic acid), is a water soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. It is a key and very strong antioxidant for the body and provides many beneficial aspects. These include playing a role in sugar metabolism, broad immune support by bringing about cellular integrity, supports the body's ability to reduce inflammation and properly regulate immune cells in mucosal tissue, support connective tissue development and repair. It also is known to make bacterial cell membranes permeable to antibiotics, neutralization of toxins and increase glutathione levels. It is essential for serotonin production and helps to dry up mucus.
