How Supplements Can Improve Sleep Quality
Melatonin, a key hormone regulating the sleep-wake cycle, has gained popularity as an oral supplement for treating insomnia, especially since its production decreases with age. This decline is often linked to poor sleep quality in older adults.
Ashwagandha extract shows promise in enhancing sleep, although more research is needed to confirm its safety for long-term use.
L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, helps improve sleep by reducing stress and enhancing mood.
Passionflower, traditionally used in Europe and North America, is valued for its calming effects and ability to treat insomnia.
Chamomile, known for its soothing properties, is used in teas, oils, and extracts to promote relaxation and better sleep.
Lemon Balm has also been studied for its potential to alleviate anxiety and improve sleep quality.
