Natural Remedy for Insomnia

NightCalm is a 100% natural herbal sleep aid and it contains a 200mg of 5-HTP, among other natural ingredients. 5-HTP is a naturally occurring acid found in the body. It has been used for many years as a natural treatment for insomnia, anxiety, depression and to a certain extent, obesity.

5-HTP, also known as oxitriptan, stimulates the production of serotonin in the brain. Low levels of serotonin have been linked to insomnia, altered mood, depression, headaches, PMS, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Serotonin is needed to produce melatonin, a hormone which regulates sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin is activated during darkness and is secreted at night when you sleep. It is the hormone responsible for helping a person to sleep.

NightCalm contains a whooping 200 mg of 5-HTP which is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant with black pods and greenish flowers native to Central and West Africa. Griffonia simplicifolia is a natural source of 5HTP and has been used for many years as a natural herbal sleeping aid, appetite suppressant, anti-depressant, and also to treat symptoms of anxiety.

Other natural ingredients found in NightCalm are niacin, vitamin B6, magnesium, Valerian root, lemon balm and folic acid. All of these ingredients collectively makes NightCalm a very effective natural herbal sleep aid supplement.
