#23 Sound Sleep®
Sound Sleep is a natural sleep aid that blends the natural sleep-inducing powers of melatonin with MSM. This calming supplement gently eases away tension and stress from the center of the brain. Melatonin is most actively produced in darkness and most inhibited in light. Research suggests a strong correlation between melatonin production and the body's circadian sleep rhythm. Melatonin has been shown to help induce sleep faster, promote deeper slumber and a more refreshed, alert state of mind upon waking.
