According to a national survey, this represents about 54% of adults. So what can you do about it? You can take Solus. Solus is an all-natural dietary supplement formulated to help support healthy sleep and relaxation. To achieve these goals, Solus contains a combination of the natural ingredients. Take Solus an hour before bedtime and you can have a good night's rest - naturally. What's in Solus? L-Tryptophan L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, which means that it must be consume from food or supplements since the body cannot make it using other amino acids. It is present in virtually all plant and animal proteins. After the body absorbs L-Tryptophan, it may ultimately be converted into neurotransmitter serotonin. It is primarily the serotonin which then does much of what L-Tryptophan is known for. For example, serotonin is the precursor to the sleep hormone, melatonin. Research has shown that L-Tryptophan is effective for inducing sleep, reducing symptoms associated with premenstrual disorder, and supporting a positive mood. Melatonin Melatonin is a hormone produced by the small, pea-shaped pineal gland located in the brain. During daylight hours, light entering the eye stimulates neurons to transmit impulses to the pineal gland that inhibit melatonin secretion. But at night, the pineal gland is able to release melatonin. As the body ages, it produces less melatonin—which may explain why elderly people often have difficulty sleeping and why melatonin supplements improve sleep in the elderly. This does not mean that the use of melatonin should be limited to the elderly. Other research has shown that non-elderly adults with difficulty getting to sleep can also have lower melatonin levels. Also, research has demonstrated that melatonin even helps facilitate sleep in young adults. Since the body would normally make melatonin for several hours per night, the best strategy for oral melatonin supplementation might be to find a product that provides some serotonin immediately, and then provides an additional dose of serotonin later through a controlled release system. Research conducted using such a controlled release system for melatonin showed good results. An appropriate dose would be 3-6 mg melatonin taken one to two hours before bedtime. Valerian Root Valerian root is considered by many to be the “granddaddy” of all sleep-promoting herbs, and is the leading herb for insomnia in modern herbal medicine. Valerian root makes getting to sleep easier and increases deep sleep and dreaming. Valerian does not cause the morning “hangover” which is a common side effect of prescription sleep drugs and melatonin in some individuals. By itself, a valerian root supplement (standardized for % valerenic acid), in doses of 300–400 mg can be taken thirty minutes before bedtime. Also, valerian may be combined with other herbs. For example, taking a combination of valerian plus hops at bedtime seems to improve subjective sleep measures including subjective sleep latency compared to placebo after 28 days of treatment. Hops Hops have a history of use as nature’s best sleep “inducer.” Though many natural substances are more effective at keeping one asleep, hops is often considered best at inducing sleep. The German Commission E recommends Hops for anxiety or insomnia. Passion Flower Passion flower has been, and continues to be an extremely popular herb in Europe where it is often used to induce relaxat
