Induces Natural Restful State
The most important factor in your body's recovery cycle is sleep. Wellness Nutrition™ Sleep Aid was formulated to be the most comprehensive nighttime formula that promotes a more restful, deeper sleep, while supporting your body's natural restoration processes.
The combination of research-based, all natural active ingredients helps promote normal sleep patterns.
The number one reason a good night's sleep is important for athletes is because Growth Hormone (GH) rises during deep sleep, which often begins about 30 - 45 minutes after falling asleep. Healthy sleep finds us more alert and more productive with fully recovered muscles to conquer your day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If I take Sleep Aid will I feel drossy in the morning?
A. Sleep Aid has been carefully formulated using the latest research to create a highly effective, safe, All Natural Sleep Aid that helps you to sleep all night and wake up feeling refreshed and alert.
Q. What warnings are there for Melatonin?
A. Based on available studies and clinical use, melatonin is generally regarded as safe in recommended doses for short-term use. Some early morning grogginess may occur when taking high doses. If headaches or mild gastrointestinal distress occurs discontinue use.
Q. What is L-Tryptophan?
A. Tryptophan is an essential Amino Acid. Tryptophan is a component of many plant and animal proteins, and a normal part of the diet that humans must get from outside sources. It is a precursor (starting material) for serotonin from which our brains make serotonin, which is then used to calm you and make you sleepy. Foods that are considered sources of tryptophan are dairy products, beef, poultry, barley, brown rice, fish, soybeans, and peanuts. L-tryptophan, in substantial quantities, is a natural sedative. It is normally found in turkey meat, and many people believe it to be the cause of a sleepiness common after a Thanksgiving feast.
Q. Is L-Tryptophan safe?
A. Yes, the FDA lifted its ban on L-Tryptophan in 2001. Since 2002, L-tryptophan has been sold in the U.S. in its original form. Several high-quality sources of L-tryptophan do exist, and are sold in many of the largest health food stores nationwide. At least 20 years worth of research (including 40 controlled studies) has demonstrated that LT can safely help induce sleepiness in humans.
