EVEXIAS Sleep
EVEXIAS Sleep contains a potent combination of adaptogenic herbs, nutrients and chemical compounds that have been carefully selected for their ability to naturally support the body’s response to stress and promote healthy sleep patterns. Poor sleep can be much worse than a mere inconvenience; chronic sleep loss can lead to a host of symptoms and an increased risk of more serious health conditions that include cardiovascular disease, depression, weakened immune function, cognitive decline, unexpected weight gain and loss of sex drive.
The Ingredients
Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA)
is an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the body’s central nervous system that promotes feelings of calm by blocking chemical messages and suppressing nerve cell stimulation in the brain. GABA has long been associated with the blocking of chemical signals that are responsible for negative feelings like anxiety and fear.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid and critical chemical messenger produced naturally by the body. Like valerian root, this natural compound has long been lauded for its ability to promote feelings of calm and reduce anxiety, but 5-HTP does so by increasing levels of serotonin in the body.
Honokiol
Honokiol is a lignan found in various parts of magnolia trees, including the seeds. This compound has long been recognized for its neuroprotective properties, and honokiol is also known for its anxiolytic effects in reducing fear and anxiety.
Valerian
Valerian is an adaptogenic herb found in Asia and Europe. Valerian root has long been used as a dietary supplement for its ability to promote feelings of calm and reduce anxiety by enhancing the function of GABA receptors.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body, and it is produced in the brain by the pineal gland in response to dark surroundings. Melatonin has been used for many years in nutraceuticals for its ability to naturally promote healthy sleep patterns by supporting proper timing of the body’s circadian rhythms.
The Science
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 7-19 percent of American adults struggle with feelings of sleep deprivation every day, which adds up to a staggering 61 million people. Unfortunately, sleep deprivation is not just some minor inconvenience. The human body requires an adequate amount of sleep to function optimally, so chronic sleep loss and sleep deprivation can lead to a host of troubling symptoms and more serious health conditions. The good news is that there are natural ways to promote healthy sleep patterns and support whole body health.
It can be pretty easy to identify the effects of an isolated night or two of poor sleep; in these cases, a person will most likely experience feelings of fatigue and difficulties with concentrating. However, extended periods of sleep deprivation can eventually lead to chronic sleep issues like insomnia, which can lead to more serious issues that include:
- Mood swings
- Fatigue
- Decreased sex drive
- Increased risk of depression
- Memory and focus issues
- Unexpected weight gain
- Immune function decline
- Increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other aspects of cardiovascular disease
There are so many factors that can lead to sleep loss, both internal and external, that it can be difficult to determine the cause of sleep loss in each specific case. Poor sleep hygiene is often looked at as a culprit of chronic sleep loss. Sleep hygiene is actually an entire class of different behaviors and environmental factors that can affect sleep quality. Some of the behaviors associated with health sleep hygiene include:
- Adhering to a consistent sleep schedule
- Not taking an excessive amount of naps
- Avoid bright lights
- Stop using electronics and watching TV at least 30 minutes before going to sleep to prevent mental stimulation
- Get plenty of sunlight during the day to promote a healthy circadian rhythm cycle
- Reduce caffeine and alcohol consumption
- Stop smoking
- Avoid eating late
- Exercise regularly
Of course, sleep deprivation can also result from other factors that include genetics, aging, stress, certain medical conditions and mental issues. While there are plenty of lifestyle techniques that can reduce stress, many of the other possible sources of chronic sleep loss require more than just adjustments to lifestyle management. That is where using professional grade nutraceuticals can provide additional support to healthy sleep patterns. High-quality nutraceuticals like EVEXIAS Sleep, which contains a powerful mix of adaptogenic herbs and potent chemical compounds found naturally in the body, can help promote feelings of calm and help the body adhere to a healthy 24-hour circadian rhythm cycle. EVEXIAS Sleep combines the natural sleep support of the melatonin hormone with a powerful neurotransmitter (GABA), a critical amino acid and two adaptogenic herbs (valerian root and honokiol from magnolia seed extract) to help reduce feelings of anxiety and promote the ideal mindset for the body to enjoy healthy sleep patterns. When chronic sleep problems require more than professional grade nutraceuticals, EVEXIAS Medical Centers offer more advanced therapies like hormone pellets to promote healthy sleep by balancing hormones at the root level.
