Food supplements and sleep: how to sleep better?

Sleep is an essential function allowing the body to maintain a good physiological balance. In case of lack of sleep or interrupted sleep, the metabolic functions cannot be carried out correctly and many disturbances appear: lowered morale, immune fragility, decreased alertness, loss of memory, dull skin, decreased vitality, weight gain, increased stress ... To have a rested nervous system and promote relaxation, food supplements sleep are perfect allies. We advise you to choose food supplements with soothing active ingredients that increase the concentration of serotonin and melatonin (hormones that promote sleep), such as green tea (L-theanine), graviola (tryptophan) or Klamath algae (phenylethylamine or PEA). It is recommended to alternate the cures, in order to optimize the falling asleep and the quality of the sleep.

Our food supplements to improve your sleep

Why choose food supplements to promote sleep?

Do you suffer from insomnia or other sleep disorders that prevent you from sleeping well at night? Rather than turning to medicated treatments, such as sleeping pills or anxiolytics that create a dependency, food supplements are to be preferred to find a restful sleep. Adapted to certain pathologies or periods of life, their simplicity of consumption and their rapid effects are an interesting option, especially as they do not create any addiction. Our sleep supplements all contain vitamins, minerals, trace elements and active ingredients that help fill any nutrient deficiencies that may cause insomnia or other sleep disorders. The rhythms between wakefulness and sleep will thus be naturally regulated.

The role of food in sleep

The composition and timing of meals can influence the length and quality of sleep. In the evening, we need serotonin and melatonin, two hormones responsible for calming and regulating sleep. Therefore, choose foods that promote the production of these two hormones, such as slow sugars (whole grains), fruit, yogurt, cheese, nuts and almonds. To help you fall asleep, optimize your magnesium intake! Dark chocolate, bananas, oilseeds, legumes, seafood, spinach or figs will help you sleep through the night. Finally, try to have dinner 2 to 3 hours before bedtime, as digestion will raise your body temperature. In order to fall asleep, the temperature should drop by about 1°.

What are the best plants for sleeping?

Thanks to their anxiolytic and sedative properties, certain plants are known to help relax the body and mind. Consumed as an infusion or decoction, valerian, hops, verbena or passion flower help you fall asleep. Easy to use, you will also find plant extracts in the form of food supplements, which act specifically on sleep disorders and anxiety: o Graviola: the tryptophan contained in the leaves of graviola acts on the serotonin and allows to decrease stress and anxiety. Its soothing virtues support the nervous system, promoting sleep and reducing anxiety. o Klamath: the phenylethylamine (PEA) present in the Klamath algae soothes stress and anxiety.

How to choose a special sleep food supplement

To choose a special sleep supplement, it is important to define why you have trouble sleeping. Is it stress? Do you have difficulty falling asleep? Is your sleep restless? Do you suffer from night-time awakenings? Sleep disorders are often the result of a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. Then think of supplementing yourself with a superfood, like Klamath algae. With a complete nutritional profile (115 nutrients), klamath contains a wide spectrum of vitamins - particularly those of the B group - involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system. This alga also represents an inexhaustible mine of minerals and trace elements, essential in case of sleep disorders: magnesium for its relaxing action, lithium for nervous fatigue, or zinc, which contributes to the transformation of tryptophan into serotonin, then into melatonin, the sleep hormone.
