Known as the world's best natural sleep aid, Dream Water is accessible over-the-counter. In it are three chemicals associated with improved sleep.
What does this miracle concoction contain?
GABA
GABA, or Gamma-aminobutyric acid, is an amino acid found in the brain. This neurotransmitter prevents electrical impulse transmission between brain cells. As a result, GABA may help you relax and enhance your mood. It slows down the brain and central nervous system, lowering stress levels.
Through its neuro-relaxing properties, GABA can help decrease tension, anxiety, aches, and pains while improving overall relaxation. Anxiety, depression, chronic stress, insomnia, as well as headaches and sleep problems, have been associated with GABA imbalance.
However, researchers are split on whether or not GABA supplements may cross the blood-brain barrier.
In the same way as other supplements, the true ingredient (which your body produces naturally) and the supplement form are distinct. Several studies have indicated that supplementing GABA directly affects sleep.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a widely used OTC sleep aid. It is super effective when used regularly. Studies have shown that melatonin is a safer and more effective sleep aid than OTC and prescription sleep aids. Current study shows melatonin isn't addictive.
Some people benefit from melatonin. However, research comparing melatonin to a placebo may not always show the same benefit. Light and dark exposure may be equally effective in resetting the internal clock as medication.
5-HTP This vitamin is found in many foods and is synthesised by the body. An important result of this process is the amino acid L-tryptophan, which is abundant in turkey (which is part of the reason people say turkey makes you sleepy).
For example, our bodies cannot make L-tryptophan, therefore we must get it from our diets. In the body, 5-HTP is made from L-tryptophan.
5-HTP improves sleep by raising serotonin levels. With melatonin, serotonin modulates sleep-wake cycles. For a biological clock to work properly, both serotonin and melatonin are required. .
5-HTP has been shown to help with mood disorders, stress, and discomfort, as well as appetite control, in addition to increasing serotonin levels.
Many commonly used medicines may interact with Dream Water. Its effects may be felt by almost a dozen medicines, including 5-HTP. Anxiolytics (anxiolytics) and barbiturates (sedatives) interact with GABA (commonly prescribed for sleep disorders).
The list of medicines that may interact with melatonin is long and includes anti-coagulants, anti-platelet agents, hypertension drugs, and immunosuppressants. This list is not exhaustive.
