For a healthy, restful sleep, the body and mind need to relax. Magnesium can assist with relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and regulating melatonin, the hormone that guides the circadian cycle.1
Research shows that magnesium can bind to GABA receptors and increase GABA levels. As low GABA levels can hinder relaxation, supplementing with magnesium can help induce relaxation and relieve nervous tension.2,3
Several clinical studies have shown that supplementing with magnesium can help promote a restful, deep sleep and increase melatonin levels.4-6
Glutamine
Glutamine plays a role in the production of GABA. It can help induce feelings of calm and relaxation; and thus help improve sleep. Research shows that GABA can help people fall asleep faster, and encourage non-REM sleep for a deep, restful sleep.7-8 Several studies have established that when concentrations of glutamine in the body are diminished, this can result in sleeplessness. However, when glutamine levels are sufficient, GABA can be produced and this can result in a healthy, restorative sleep.9-11
Calcium
Calcium can be beneficial to help improve problems falling and staying asleep because it helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to produce melatonin. The hormone melatonin regulates the circadian rhythm and is responsible for a restful, restorative sleep.12
Research shows that low calcium levels are associated with disturbed sleep patterns, including the lack of a deep REM sleep phase.13,14 When levels of calcium are inadequate, people may wake up soon after falling asleep and have difficulty getting back to sleep.
Potassium
Low levels of potassium can result in a lack of deep REM sleep.15 Supplementing with potassium can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, reduce episodes of waking after falling asleep and improve the quality of sleep.16
Passionflower
Passionflower has a long traditional use to help promote a restful sleep. Research shows that it can significantly improve non-REM sleep and inhibit REM sleep. It is believed that the active ingredients in Passionflower bind to GABA receptors to reduce brain activity, promote relaxation and induce sleep;17 and that is also affects dopamine and 5-HT levels to help improve sleep patterns.18
