Restore PMย supports deep, restorative sleep cycles and built-in restorative processes by modulating neurotransmitter signaling and protecting against oxidative stress. Sleep disturbances and chronic stress are associated with impaired cognitive function, metabolic dysregulation, and accelerated aging.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP):ย These neurotransmitter precursors promote relaxation and enhance sleep quality by modulating the activity of GABA and serotonin receptors, respectively. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and its signaling reduces neuronal excitability and promotes sleep onset. 5-HTP, on the other hand, is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep-wake cycles. Supplementation with GABA and 5-HTP has been shown to improve sleep latency, duration, and efficiency, as well as reduce feelings of anxiety and stress-related symptoms.
Apigenin:ย This flavonoid exhibits anxiolytic and sedative properties by interacting with GABA receptors and promoting neuroprotection through its anti-inflammatory effects. Apigenin has been shown to bind to sites on GABA-A receptors, enhancing the inhibitory effects of GABA and promoting relaxation. Moreover, apigenin modulates neuroinflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-ฮฑ and IL-1ฮฒ, and reducing the activation of microglial cells, which are key mediators of neuroinflammation.
Glutathione and Melatonin:ย These potent antioxidants protect neural cells from oxidative damage, support detoxification processes, and regulate the circadian rhythm, thereby promoting restorative sleep. Glutathione is the master antioxidant in the body, neutralizing ROS, detoxifying xenobiotics, and maintaining redox homeostasis. Melatonin, a hormone primarily secreted by the pineal gland, regulates the sleep-wake cycle and exhibits strong antioxidant properties. Melatonin has been shown to scavenge free radicals, enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and protect mitochondria from oxidative stress. Furthermore, melatonin modulates the expression of clock genes, maintaining circadian rhythms and promoting healthy sleep patterns.
