There is a company called the 'Wellness Company'. They suggest the following natural ingredients, rather than using Melatonin for assistance with sleep:
- Passion Flower to relax and promote an easy start to your sleep routine.
- Rafuma Leaf stabilizes the mind and prepares it for restful sleep.
- Kava mitigates the impacts of stress as you wind down.
- Chamomile for its time-tested properties of providing a gentle calming effect on the brain and body.
- Valerian Root to help reduce anxiety.
- Ashwagandha Root to help regulate the negative impacts of daily stress on your immune system.
They are saying that the hormone-based supplement Melatonin has risks such as: sleep-wake cycle disruption, hormonal effects, drug interactions, dependence & tolerance, as well as purity concerns.
