I love transdermal patch technology to get natural proteins, vitamins, and adaptogens in the body. Stuff doesn't get destroyed in the gut and the liver and goes into the blood stream. The 1st thing you need to do to start making your body younger is to be able to have deep restorative sleep. That doesn't come from synthetic drugs-those make you unconscious but you don't repair. It's hard to improve anything else if we can't repair through sleep. If you are having trouble sleeping this product is critical. Besides a host of adaptogens-there is 5mg of melatonin that is released throughout the night to keep you sleeping. That is the natural way that are suppose to get melatonin---all night. Once you get a good nights rest-you will begin to feel better and have more energy, and then we can work on the next steps to getting your body and mind younger again. A little technical info... Our topical sleep patch contains 5 mg of melatonin combined with adaptogens valerian root, hops, and 5-HTP to increase serotonin, which helps regulate sleep/ wake cycles. Melatonin influences insulin secretion via the G-protein-coupled receptor isoforms MT1 and MT2, two melatonin subtypes. This circadian insulin secretion accommodates day to night changes through melatonin-dependent synchronization and reduces cortisol levels to help relieve insomnia and other sleep-related concerns. THIS IS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE STAYING ASLEEP
