NUTRAXIN NATUREL SLEEP CAP (60S)

Passiflora incarnata (Passionflower) Extract works by increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. St John's Wort contains hypericin and hyperforin, which are believed to act on neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, enhancing mood and reducing symptoms of depression. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) Root Extract contains valerenic acid and other compounds that interact with GABA receptors, promoting sedation and improving sleep quality by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and enhancing sleep quality.
