What is Somniphan?


Somniphan® is a safe and effective sleep-aid that contains L-Tryptophan, GABA and Melatonin. These three ingredients work synergistically to help one go to sleep. Somniphan® is available in capsule form, and suggested dosage is 2 capsules, 30-45 minutes before bedtime. Somniphan® is non habit forming, is free from side effects and can be used regularly to help encourage relaxation, reduce anxiety and most importantly help one restore and maintain healthy sleep patterns. Somniphan® is manufactured by Intensive Nutrition Inc. onsite in San Leandro, CA, USA.
who should consider somniphan?
Somniphan® is suggested for:  individuals who experience sleeplessness, either occasional or chronic;  individuals who experience frequent night wakings due to stress and/or anxiety, or for men who experience frequent night wakings due to prostate overactivity and frequent nighttime urination; individuals who experience mood swings or negative outlook and as a consequence have trouble sleeping.


L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that aids in protein synthesis and is a precursor to many compounds, including the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin, acting as a neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System(CNS), affects hunger, mood, aggression and promotes sleep. The body can also metabolize serotonin into melatonin. Low levels of serotonin, whether caused by improper uptake or metabolism, may contribute to sleeplessness or insomnia. Supplementing with L-Tryptophan can help restore normal serotonin levels.

GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body, which means that it regulates neuronal excitability. In so doing, GABA promotes relaxation and may dampen anxiety. It also has an analgesic effect. Sleeplessness has a variety of causes, stress, anxiety and pain being main contributors. By promoting relaxation and pain relief, GABA can help one get to sleep.

Melatonin is a natural substance secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin is recognized as a key element in regulating the body's day/night metabolic rates. Its secretion is synchronized with our biological clock which dictates the daily changes upon the body's metabolic activity: our circadian rhythms. One of its most popular uses is to help alleviate jet lag, i.e. to restore proper sleep patterns.
Other bonuses of melatonin: melatonin is also an excellent antioxidant, it supports heart health and the immune system.
Often, sleeplessness is caused by aberrations in one's sleeping schedule, for instance, jet lag, frequent nighttime urination (in men, due to enlarged prostate), night-shift working hours. The body and mind may be so exhausted that an individual, no matter how fatigued, may have trouble falling and staying asleep. Melatonin can be helpful in restoring a proper 7-8 hour regenerative sleep cycle. (Melatonin is sourced from bovine pineal gland)
