Caption: Four natural ingredients to support your slumber. If you are struggling to get a good night's sleep, you could try incorporating certain ingredients into your bedtime routine. The experts at Revive Active and nutritional therapist Nicola Sainty have teamed up to give you the lowdown on the powerhouse ingredients to look out for to help you relax and get a better night's sleep. Montmorency cherry. ”Containing significant amounts of antioxidants, as well as plant compounds that may have protective effects against oxidative stress, research shows that taking Montmorency extract can boost melatonin and improve sleep quality in just one week.” Magnesium bisglycinate. ”Emerging research suggests that low levels of magnesium may be linked to increased levels of anxiety, heightened stress responses, and disrupted sleep cycle," the experts state. ”Moreover, magnesium's interaction with neurotransmitters such as GABA (a chemical that helps to reduce activity in the brain, so creating a feeling of calm) highlights its importance in promoting restful sleep.” Lavender. ”Lavender's active compounds (linalool and linalyl acetate) have a sedative effect and interact with GABA and serotonin helping to reduce anxiety before bed.” Chamomile. ”One of the most well-known herbs, chamomile contributes to optimal relaxation and helps to maintain a healthy sleep. The calming effects of this flower come from apigenin, a flavonoid that binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, which have a mild sedative effect to aid sleep.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
