Jarrow Sleep Optimizer is a mixture of substances aiming at facilitating quick fall into a deep sleep, which remarkably enhances regeneration. As already known, sleep is the strongest recovery tool that our organism has, but nowadays – because of the amount of stress and other distractors – few people are able to take the maximum benefits out of it.

The product Jarrow Sleep Optimizer includes the following ingredients:

Valerian Root – it was traditionally infused in tea or eaten raw with the aim of relaxation and calming. Today, it is most often used in insomnia and anxiety treatment. Valerian root increases the signalization of the most relaxing neurotransmitter - gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA).

L-Tryptophan – is an amino acid, which cannot be synthesized by the human body itself, so it has to be provided “from outside”. L-tryptophan is transformed into 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), which in turn is transformed into serotonin – a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells, appetite regulation, body temperature, blood pressure and, most importantly, co-working with melatonin in sleep regulation (sleeplessness occurs in case of blocking its synthesis).

L-tryptophan is used in the treatment of insomnia, sleep apnea, depression and anxiety conditions. It is also a vitamin B3 precursor (Niacin). It allows to fall into a deep sleep facilitating maximum regeneration without the difficulties with waking up in the morning.

Humulus lupulus (hops) – a perennial species from the cannabinaceae family. It is famous for its use in beer production. Chumulus lupulus has plenty of applications, among others, increases the quality of sleep, relaxes, facilitates digestion and is classified to the group of antioxidants and antihistamine products, which means that it may also help in treating allergies. Additionally, it allows to eradicate fungi and bacteria and has a diuretic effect – eliminates the excess of water from the organism.

Melissa officinalis – a kind of a perennial plant from the labiate family, used in the treatment of many digestive problems, pain and mental disorders. Melissa has a calming effect – in Europe is widely used in the treatment of insomnia, anxiety and nervousness. In one of the studies, melissa considerably increased concentration and allowed for a more efficient performance in word and picture tasks.

It was also proven that the students taking melissa achieved much better scores in studying than the group receiving placebo and they stayed calm during exams and felt less stressed.

PharmaGABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) – is a nootropic compound with a relaxing and anti-anxiety effect. It participates in many suppressing reactions in the parasympathetic nervous system. Taken before sleep, it may increase the growth hormone release. If it crosses the blood-brain barrier, it causes the feeling of easefulness and sleepiness.

Melatonin – a neurohormone produced by pineal gland in the brain. It is known for evoking and regulating sleep. As a hormone, its task is to decrease the amount of time necessary to fall asleep. Melatonin’s original task as a supplement is the regulation of a disturbed day-night cycle – it is ideal for people who work night shifts or those who cannot deal with time zone changes.

Melatonin is also a strong antioxidant and has a neuroprotective effect. It also has a few anticancer properties, influences eye health and improves self-being (through better sleep).

Summing up, Jarrow Sleep Optimizer is incredibly useful for everybody with sleep problems and for those who want to improve the effectiveness and quality of sleep in order to gain more energy and vitality after waking up. Moreover, it is recommended to sportsmen in the period of increased effort to additionally accelerate regeneration and to the people, whose work or lifestyle do not allow to function according to their biological clocks.
