Melatonin
Melatonin is an endogenous hormone that is produced from the amino acid L-tryptophan via the intermediate 5-HTP in the pineal gland and, to a lesser extent, in the retina and intestines. Melatonin production and release is light-dependent, with darkness stimulating melatonin production and release, while daylight and blue screen light inhibit it. During the day, melatonin levels are around 3-12 times lower than at night. The release of melatonin initiates the regeneration phase and falling asleep and is responsible for the deep sleep phase. With advancing age, the body's own melatonin production decreases.
Magnesium
Magnesium oxide is a magnesium compound with an extremely high magnesium content of 57%. In magnesium glycinate (as magnesium bisglycinate), magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine in a so-called chelate complex. In this molecular structure, the magnesium cannot form any undesirable compounds with other nutrients, so that every nutrient can have its full effect. Magnesium taurate is an organic compound of magnesium and the amino acid taurine. Taurine is found in high amounts in muscle tissue, the brain and eye tissue. These forms of magnesium contribute in particular to normal energy metabolism, normal muscle and nerve function and normal psychological function.
Vitamin B6
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P-5-P, PLP) is the bioactive form of vitamin B6 and one of the most important coenzymes in humans. As a coenzyme, P-5-P enables around 100 enzymatic reactions and is involved in the metabolism of amino acids, the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine and GABA and modulates the effect of the steroid hormones testosterone and oestrogen. Vitamin B6 therefore makes an important contribution to normal mental function and a healthy nervous system.
Hop extract
The proven properties of hops (Humulus lupulus) have been known in European botany for centuries. The phytochemicals are concentrated in the resin of the hop cones of the female flowers, which is why mainly female plants are cultivated.
