Lack of sleep has become a wide-spread issue and while the impacts of sleep deprivation on our mental health, weight and immunity are widely known, the implications on our skin and beauty are less known.   The quality and length of sleep you receive every night can have a profound impact on your skin’s overall health. In fact, research says, even losing just one night of sleep can have negative impacts such as puffy eyes, darker under-eye circles and more wrinkles and fine lines.*

Our body restores and heals itself during sleep and this is true for our skin too. During sleep, blood flow to the skin increases, rebuilding collagen and repairing damage caused by sun exposure or  pollutants. ' Beauty sleep' is a real thing!

Enhanced Collagen(TM) Sleep is the perfect addition to your nightly routine to combat sleep challenges with the restorative benefits of collagen:

Grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen: 

Not only does collagen enhance hair, skin, nail and joint health, it also helps improve the length and quality of sleep due to its high glycine content. Glycine is an amino acid  that plays a role in brain function and helps to regulate our core body temperature during sleep - helping to achieve a deeper more restful sleep. 

GABA:

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid is a major neurotransmitter that regulates much of our brain function. It inhibits neural activity, reducing mental and physical stress, promoting relaxation and  sleep quality and length, proving effective in treating insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Melatonin: 

Melatonin is a hormone made by the brain, helping to regulate circadian rhythm and promoting the onset of sleep.  Melatonin supplementation helps those who struggle with sleep due to jet-lag or  shift work, helping to reset the sleep-wake cycle and promote deeper, longer sleep.

Benefits of GABA:

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid is a major neurotransmitter that regulates much of our brain function. It inhibits neural activity, reducing mental and physical stress, promoting relaxation and  sleep quality and length, proving effective in treating insomnia and other sleep disorders.

• GABA enables the body and mind to relax and fall asleep, and to sleep soundly throughout the night. For sleep: The body’s own GABA activity is important for sleep. GABA enables the body and mind to relax and fall asleep, and to sleep soundly throughout the night. Low GABA activity is linked to insomnia and disrupted sleep
• One small study of 13 adults showed GABA to be effective as a relaxant and anxiety reliever.
• There is evidence indicating that GABA may work to reduce high blood pressure.

A: Feeling groggy or drowsiness after taking melatonin is a possible consequence to some individuals and depends on the personal metabolism rate.
