Some natural products benefit healthy sleep through a number of different actions. Here are our top 6 recommendations:
- Melatonin – signals sleep onset in the brain
- Magnesium – muscle and nervous system relaxant
- Passion flower and valerian – GABA-like activity and nervous system relaxant
- Flaxseed and black cohosh – estrogen modulator
- Chaste tree berry – supports progesterone
- Iron (test before taking!) – deficiency associated with restless leg syndrome
