Enjoy gentle, peaceful, more restful sleep

Restful Night Extended Release® is your best support for a restful night's sleep, with a unique extended-release delivery that helps calm restless, ruminating minds so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep. While most sleep supplements focus exclusively on melatonin, Restful Night Extended Release takes a holistic approach by pairing clinically validated Melotime™ melatonin with two other stress reducing and sleep-inducing ingredients, including PharmaGABA and L-theanine. Numerous research studies have indicated that PharmaGABA plays a crucial role in helping the body manage stress, promoting a calm state of mind, and enhancing the overall quality of sleep. L-theanine promotes calmness and a reduction in anxiousness. This exclusive combination helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and improves your quality of sleep. And when you sleep better, you wake feeling refreshed and alert, more energetic with improved attention, less stress, and stronger overall health. And who doesn’t want all of that?

Enjoy that comfy, can't-wait-to-sleep feeling

Melotime (2 mg) and Melatonin (1 mg) decrease the time it takes to fall asleep and supports, more restful sleep.

The "sleep hormone" melatonin declines in production as you age1, yet your body relies on it to regulate circadian rhythms and the sleep cycle. That’s why Dr. Whitaker made sure to include 3 mg of melatonin in Restful Night Extended Release: 1 mg is released immediately to help you drift off to sleep, then 2 mg of Melotime melatonin releases throughout the night to promote the ideal 8-hour sleep cycle.

The science behind sleep

In a study of 555 subjects with sleep issues, 2 mg melatonin showed significant improvements after 3 weeks, with further improvements over 6 months vs. placebo, in the time it takes to fall asleep and sleep quality.2

PharmaGABA® (100 mg) promotes relaxation to help you fall asleep

Clinical studies have shown that GABA can play an important role in reducing stress and occasional anxiousness, promote feelings of relaxation, and improve task orientation. In addition, one study done on an older population showed that GABA may support sleep quality of life and reduce nighttime urinary frequency3, which means fewer interruptions and better continuous sleep. This amino acid is produced naturally in the brain, where it acts as a neurotransmitter to foster communication between nerve cells. In addition, GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system, meaning it calms down nerve cell "excitability."

The science behind stress reduction

In a study using an electroencephalogram (EEG), brain waves were evaluated in participants after taking either 100 mg PharmGABA (the dose in Restful Night Extended Release) or a placebo. The EEG found that individuals who took PharmaGABA showed higher alpha waves and lower beta waves, which suggests that PharmaGABA helps reduce stress and promote mental relaxation.

L-Theanine (200 mg) promotes calmness and a reduction in anxiousness

Purified, premium L-theanine is identical to the calming amino acid found in green tea, one of nature's most effective relaxants. L-theanine was first isolated in 1949 and studies show that many of the benefits of green tea are derived from its L-theanine content. It works by raising your body's GABA levels, thereby promoting calming alpha-wave activity in the brain. That's why it was included in Restful Night Extended Release to continue to keep your brain in a relaxed state to help you maintain that peaceful, restful night's sleep.

In a placebo-controlled study, 30 healthy subjects taking 200 mg L-theanine showed a significant improvement vs placebo in sleep latency (the amount of time it takes to fall asleep once you go to bed) and sleep disturbances.4 Restful Night Extended Release includes carefully selected complementary ingredients, designed to be non-habit forming, leaving you refreshed when you wake. If sleep issues are a concern, you will find this the perfect solution.
