Mother Earth Labs Good Nite Sleep Aid

Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland that helps control our circadian rhythm – sleep and wake cycles. The production of this hormone should increase towards the end of the day as the sunlight dims and fades to red. Unfortunately, in our modern world, we use artificial lighting that mimics daylight and confuses our system. Then, we are left staring at the ceiling as we try to fall asleep. To make the situation worse, our bodies become less effective in producing melatonin as we age.

L-Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in tea and supplements. It’s often used to help lower anxiety, stress, and cortisol levels throughout the day because it does not cause drowsiness.
