Valerian root extract and melatonin are two hot products that people use today to aid sleep. When sleep disorder occurs, our body temperature regulation will be disordered, the immune system will change, and health will be endangered, resulting in poor energy, poor immunity, increased blood pressure, anxiety and depression. For people with insomnia, they have to change their daily life habits and environment first. If they still cannot improve, they need appropriate treatments for the cause, such as medication, behavioral psychotherapy, etc. However, the side effects of drugs are often relatively large. Then some people will choose to use some health products that help improve sleep.
What is valerian root extract?
As early as the 16th century, valerian was used in Europe to help fall asleep. Modern studies have shown that valerian has the effects of promoting sleep, calming the nerves, and anti-depression, and it has almost no side effects.
Experts from the German Society for Sleep and Anxiety Medicine specifically pointed out that valerian is not a sleeping pill. It directly acts on synaptic receptors to increase the concentration of r-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter to achieve the effect of natural sleep. Valerian is one of the most widely used and mature natural botanicals for depression and insomnia in Europe so far.
What is melatonin?
Melatonin is an indole hormone secreted by the pineal gland. It is synthesized in pineal cells using tryptophan as a raw material. It is metabolized in the liver to 6-hydroxymelatonin, which combines with sulfate ions and is excreted in the urine. The process of its synthesis and secretion has a circadian rhythm. The secretion volume is extremely low during the day, and gradually increases at night, reaching a peak at 2-4 in the morning and dropping to a very low level in the morning. Light, age, and certain drugs all affect its secretion and synthesis.
Melatonin is mainly used to treat sleep rhythm disorders, including sleep phase lag disorders (long-term difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up, long-term sleep disorders but unable to treat), jet lag and shift work caused sleep disorders, age-related sleep disorders, blind people and Sleep disorders due to brain damage. In addition, it also has anti-aging effects, immune regulation, anti-oxidation, sedative and analgesic effects.
