How to Improve Sleep Quality With a Natural Synergistic Blend

Quality sleep is essential for maintaining physical health, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. However, modern life, stress, and screen exposure have made achieving good sleep increasingly challenging. In the quest for better sleep, certain natural sleep remedies have gained significant attention for their efficacy and safety. Two such potent ingredients are AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome. This article explores how these compounds work, their combined benefits and answers common questions about their usage.

Understanding AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome

Read on to learn more natural sleep remedies, AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome:

AlphaWave® L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid primarily found in tea leaves, known for its ability to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. AlphaWave®L-Theanine is a patented, high-purity form of L-Theanine that ensures maximum efficacy and absorption. Research has shown that L-Theanine increases alpha brain wave activity, which is associated with a state of relaxed alertness, and modulates neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, which play crucial roles in regulating mood and stress levels (Higashiyama et al., 2011; Kimura et al., 2007).

Relissa® Phytosome

Relissa® Phytosome is a proprietary blend that combines Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) extract with phospholipids to enhance bioavailability. Lemon balm has been traditionally used for its calming and sleep-promoting properties. The phytosome technology used in Relissa® Phytosome ensures that the active compounds in lemon balm are more efficiently absorbed by the body, enhancing their effectiveness. Studies have shown that lemon balm can reduce symptoms of anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality (Cerny & Schmid, 1999; Kennedy et al., 2006).

How the Combination Improves Sleep

The combination of AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome offers a range of benefits, including:

Enhanced Relaxation and Reduced Stress

AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome both promote relaxation and reduce stress, but through different mechanisms.

L-Theanine increases alpha brain wave activity and modulates neurotransmitters, leading to a state of relaxed alertness without sedation.

On the other hand, Relissa® Phytosome’s lemon balm extract interacts with GABA receptors in the brain, enhancing the calming effect and reducing anxiety. The combined effect of these two compounds can significantly reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.

Improved Sleep Quality

Research indicates that both AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome can enhance sleep quality. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that L-Theanine improved sleep efficiency and reduced sleep disturbances (Nathan et al., 2008). Similarly, lemon balm has been shown to improve sleep patterns and reduce insomnia symptoms (Cerny & Schmid, 1999). Together, these compounds can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and enjoy more restorative sleep.

Synergistic Effects

The combination of AlphaWave® L-Theanine and Relissa® Phytosome leverages the strengths of both ingredients. While L-Theanine promotes a state of calm alertness, lemon balm’s sedative properties complement this by facilitating a smoother transition into sleep. This synergy can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have trouble winding down at the end of the day.

Supporting Research

Several studies have highlighted the benefits of L-Theanine and lemon balm for sleep:

• Higashiyama et al. (2011): This study found that L-Theanine supplementation improved attention and reaction time response in individuals prone to anxiety, suggesting its role in promoting relaxation and cognitive function.
• Kimura et al. (2007): Demonstrated that L-Theanine significantly reduced psychological and physiological stress responses, highlighting its potential for stress reduction.
• Nathan et al. (2008): Reported that L-Theanine improved sleep efficiency and reduced sleep disturbances in participants, supporting its use for sleep enhancement.
• Cerny & Schmid (1999): Found that lemon balm extract improved sleep patterns and reduced insomnia symptoms, underscoring its sleep-promoting properties.
• Kennedy et al. (2006): Showed that lemon balm extract could reduce stress and improve sleep quality, further validating its use as a natural sleep aid.
