Enhanced Collagen Sleep

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 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 (GABA) 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.

Q: Will this product make me feel groggy the next day?
A: Feeling groggy or drowsiness after taking melatonin is a possible consequence to some individuals and depends on the personal metabolism rate.

To reduce this feeling, consumers may consider take ENHANCED COLLAGEN™ SLEEP early in the evening.  Since melatonin is active around 5-8 hours after consumption, taking it in the middle of the night will likely preserve the sleepiness until it fades even when it’s past the time to wake up.

ENHANCED COLLAGEN™ SLEEP include moderate amount of melatonin (3 mg/serving). If desired, sensitive individuals may consider reduce the serving size by half and explore what is the right dose for them.

Q: How soon before bed should I take this product?
A: 1-2 hours  before bed time

Q: Is there any taste (from the other ingredients)?
A: No, Enhanced Collagen™ Sleep is unflavoured and easily mixes into your favourite beverage!
