Don't endure another sleepless night!

Valerian -- reports of this legendary herb's sleep-inducing power date as far back as ancient Greece. Not only can valerian help you sleep, but it helps ensure you get the deep recharging sleep you need.

L-theanine -- responsible for the calming and soothing effects of green tea, this amino acid works wonders to quiet your mind and stop the "racing."

GABA -- an important neurotransmitter for a bringing on a deep, relaxed and meditative calmness, so you can drift off to sleep effortlessly.

L-glutamine -- the most abundant amino acid in your body, not only has it been shown to improve overall mood, but it increases GABA levels as well.

Like the mood-improving powers of L-glutamine...it's the most abundant amino acid in your blood stream and it's been shown, in at least one study, to decrease anger and improve your overall mood.

And L-glutamine has also been shown to increase mind-mellowing GABA levels.
