Magnesium (Mg)

Observational studies suggested an association between higher Mg intake and daytime falling asleep, sleepiness, snoring, and sleep duration in healthy adults. Positive effect of magnesium supplementation on The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, sleep efficiency, and sleep time. Arab, A., Rafie, N., Amani, R. and Shirani, F., 2023. The role of magnesium in sleep health: a systematic review of available literature. Biological Trace Element Research, 201(1), pp.121-128. Ref.

Higher Mg intake is associated with normal hours of sleep, and low level of consumption is linked to both shorter and longer sleep. Grandner, M.A., Jackson, N., Gerstner, J.R. and Knutson, K.L. (2013) 'Dietary nutrients associated with short and long sleep duration. Data from a nationally representative sample', Appetite, 64, pp. 71-80. Ref

Biological clock and magnesium status are linked. Studies have found that people deficient in magnesium also have decreased melatonin, a hormone that maintains the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm causes changes in the body according to the day-night cycle, such as feelings of sleepiness and wakefulness. Feeney, K., Hansen, L., Putker, M. et al.

Supplementation of magnesium appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia such as insomnia severity index (ISI) score, sleep efficiency, sleep time and sleep onset latency, early morning awakening, and likewise, insomnia objective measures such as concentration of serum renin, melatonin, and serum cortisol, in elderly people. Abbasi, B., Kimiagar, M., Sadeghniiat, K., Shirazi, M.M., Hedayati, M. and Rashidkhani, B., 2012.

Ashwagandha Root Withania Somnifera

Ashwagandha (21g of standardised withanolide for 6 weeks) improved the quality of sleep, and reduced non-restorative sleep measures in healthy subjects with frequent non-restorative sleep. Deshpande, A., Irani, N., Balkrishnan, R. and Benny, I.R. (2020) 'A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effects of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) extract on sleep quality in healthy adults', Sleep Med, 72, pp. 28-36. Ref

Ashwagandha has been shown to have beneficial effects in decreasing time to fallasleep, improving duration, quality of sleep, and mood upon awakening.

Beta vulgaris L.

Numerous studies show that beetroots contain large amounts of valuable vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants, especially potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A, C, and B6. Beetroots greatly improve blood circulation, including in our brains, and the compounds in the beetroot are extremely helpful in maintaining the health of the nervous system. By consuming beetroots regularly, the risk of various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s can be reduced, and keep the memory sharp. In addition to improving its blood circulation, it also contains substances that, when transformed in our body, also lower blood pressure. Székely, D., & Máté, M. (2022). Red Beetroot (Beta Vulgaris L.). In P. Kaushik (Ed.), *Advances in Root Vegetables Research*. IntechOpen. DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.106692. Ref

Beetroot is a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, and supporting a healthy gut microbiota. Fiber-rich foods like beetroot are essential for maintaining gastrointestinal function.  Slavin, J. L. (2013). Dietary fiber and body weight. Nutrition, 29(1), 10-19. Ref

Nitric oxide produced from dietary nitrates in beetroot has been associated with improved cognitive function and blood flow to the brain. Regular consumption may help maintain cognitive health and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Presley, T.D., Morgan, A.R., Bechtold, E., Clodfelter, W., Dove, R.W., Jennings, J.M., Kraft, R.A., King, S.B., Laurienti, P.J., Rejeski, W.J. and Burdette, J.H., 2011. Acute effect of a high nitrate diet on brain perfusion in older adults. Nitric Oxide, 24(1), pp.34-42. Ref

Betalains fount in beetroowork as as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents play an important role in the release of NO and decrease of blood pressure. Modulation of oxidative and inflammatory factors may also attribute to regulatory function in metabolic syndrome such as blood pressure lowering effect and more importantly in reducing hyperlipidemia. In addition to betalanin, flavonoids and fibers in red beetroots attributed to the blood glucose lowering effect. Hadipour, E., Taleghani, A., Tayarani‐Najaran, N. and Tayarani‐Najaran, Z., 2020. Biological effects of red beetroot and betalains: A review. Phytotherapy research, 34(8), pp.1847-1867. Ref


L-Theanine

L-THE supplementation can assist in reducing acute stress and anxiety in people experiencing stressful situations. Everett, J.M., Gunathilake, D., Dufficy, L., Roach, P., Thomas, J., Upton, D. and Naumovski, N. (2016) 'Theanine consumption, stress and anxiety in human clinical trials: A systematic review', J Nutr Intermed Metab, 4, pp. 41-42. Ref

200 mg/day before sleep for 4 weeks: Stress-related symptom (i.e., depression, anxiety-trait, and sleep) scores decreased and cognitive function (i.e., verbal fluency and executive function) scores improved after four weeks of L-theanine administration. The reduction in sleep quality problems (disturbances in sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and use of sleep medication) was greater in the L-theanine administration compared to the placebo administration, while verbal fluency, especially letter fluency, was improved in the L-theanine administration among individuals who showed relatively low performance at pretreatment. Hidese, S., Ogawa, S., Ota, M., Ishida, I., Yasukawa, Z., Ozeki, M. and Kunugi, H. (2019) 'Effects of L-theanine administration on stress-related symptoms and cognitive functions in healthy adults: A randomized controlled trial', Nutrients, 11(10), 2362. Ref

200 mg of l-Theanine (Suntheanine, Taiyo Kagaku Inc., Japan) dissolved in 100 ml of water was used as a treatment. l-Theanine exerts anti-stress effects during an acute stress challenge. Kimura, K., Ozeki, M., Juneja, L.R. and Ohira, H. (2007) 'L-Theanine reduces psychological and physiological stress responses', Biol Psychol, 74(1), pp. 39-45. Ref

May help to increase alpha brain wave activity, associated with a state of wakeful relaxation and mental alertness. Nobre, A.C., Rao, A. and Owen, G.N. (2008) 'L-theanine, a natural constituent in tea, and its effect on mental state', Asia Pac J Clin Nutr, 17(Suppl 1), pp. 167-168. Ref

Theanine intake suppressed initial stress response. Unno, K., Tanida, N., Ishii, N., Yamamoto, H., Iguchi, K., Hoshino, M., Takeda, A., Ozawa, H., Ohkubo, T., Juneja, L.R. and Yamada, H. (2013) 'Anti-stress effect of theanine on students during pharmacy practice: Positive correlation among salivary α-amylase activity, trait anxiety and subjective stress', Pharmacol Biochem Behav, 111, pp. 128-135.

Passionflower Extract Passiflora Incarnata (5:1 extract)

Consumption of low dose of Passiflora incarnata, yields short-term subjective sleep benefits for healthy adults with mild fluctuations in sleep quality. Ngan, A. and Conduit, R., 2011. A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled investigation of the effects of Passiflora incarnata (Passionflower) herbal tea on subjective sleep quality. Phytotherapy Research, 25(8), pp.1153-1159. Ref

Passiflora extract is an effective drug for the management of generalised anxiety disorder. Akhondzadeh, S., Naghavi, H.R., Vazirian, M., Shayeganpour, A., Rashidi, H. and Khani, M., 2001. Passionflower in the treatment of generalized anxiety: A pilot double‐blind randomized controlled trial with oxazepam. Journal of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, 26(5), pp.363-367. Ref

Passiflora incarnata has demonstrated anxiolytic effects, aiding in the reduction of anxiety symptoms. It interacts with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, promoting relaxation and calmness. Appel, K., Rose, T., Fiebich, B., Kammler, T., Hoffmann, C. and Weiss, G., 2011. Modulation of the γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) system by Passiflora incarnata L. Phytotherapy Research, 25(6), pp.838-843. Ref

Research suggests that Passiflora incarnata can enhance sleep quality by regulating neurotransmitters involved in sleep-wake cycles, leading to deeper and more restful sleep. Miyasaka, L.S., Atallah, Á.N. and Soares, B., 2007. Passiflora for anxiety disorder. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, (1). Ref

Passiflora incarnata exhibits mild sedative properties, which can help in inducing relaxation and easing nervous tension without causing significant sedation or impairment. Aslanargun, P., Cuvas, O., Dikmen, B., Aslan, E. and Yuksel, M.U., 2012. Passiflora incarnata Linneaus as an anxiolytic before spinal anesthesia. Journal of anesthesia, 26, pp.39-44. Ref
