NOTE

Exploring Alternative Sleep Aids

Melatonin supplements contain concentrations 10 to 1000 times higher than natural levels and can have other effects on the body. Magnesium threonate or glycinate, theanine, and apigenin are found to be beneficial sleep aids, each with specific effects and precautions. The combination of 300-400mg magnesium threonate or glycinate, 200-400mg theanine, and 50mg apigenin has helped many people to fall asleep quickly and consistently. This combination, along with morning light exposure, has transformed the sleep quality of many users. Different forms of magnesium can have targeted effects on specific tissues, and phosphatidylserine is used to blunt cortisol release after stressful days.
