Dormimax™

Dormimax™ is a unique combination of melatonin, vitamins D and E, minerals (calcium and magnesium), and quality herbs, formulated to promote deep sleep and help overcome insomnia.

Medical literature defines insomnia as an inability to fall asleep or remain asleep long enough to feel rested, especially when the problem continues over time.

Ingredients

Two minerals included in this formula are calcium and magnesium. According to Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician and author of several books, calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to produce the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin. On the other hand, magnesium deficiency also contributes to chronic insomnia. A high magnesium, low aluminum diet has been associated with deeper, less interrupted sleep.

Melatonin is a natural hormone that regulates the human biological clock. Double-blind research with young adults has shown that melatonin promotes sleep. Other studies have found that melatonin significantly shortened the time required to fall asleep, reduced nighttime awakenings, and improved sleep quality.

The use of valerian root for insomnia and nervous conditions has been common for centuries. This herb contains multiple constituents, including volatile oils that appear to contribute to its sedative properties.

Historically, skullcap has been used as a sedative for people with nervous tension and insomnia. It was and continues to be commonly combined with valerian for insomnia. One of its constituents, scutellarian, has been reportedly shown to promote mild sedative activity.

Passion flower is used for mild and moderate anxiety in many European countries. Studies have shown that the flavonoids in this herb are the primary constituents responsible for promoting its relaxing effects.

Herbalists recommend Hops flowers to promote a mild sedative effect. Hops are high in bitter constituents known as humulone and lupulone.

Lemon balm has traditionally been used for digestive health and to improve sleep quality. The terpenes, part of the pleasant-smelling volatile oil, are thought to produce this herb’s relaxing and gas-relieving effects.

This supplement also contains eleuthero, a distant relative of Asian ginseng. Eleuthero has many applications in naturopathy. In small amounts, this agent helps the body adapt to stress.

The leaves of ginkgo are used in modern herbalism. The benefits of ginkgo are attributed primarily to two groups of active constituents: the ginkgo flavone glycosides and the terpene lactones. Ginkgo is known to promote several health benefits, particularly in supporting cognitive function related to age-related cognitive decline.
