No addiction or dependence, no strange effects. These supplements are all natural and give your body the things it needs for true, deep rest.
Not sure where to start? Choose two from this list below and pair it with your oils during your wind down routine! We suggest SleepEssence and MegaCal.
Ditch the magnesium powders and grab some MegaCal! This supplement makes a great alternative – it’s an excellent source of not only magnesium, but also calcium, manganese, zinc, and vitamin C. You get the benefits of soothing magnesium at bedtime but also all the other great benefits as well – heart, bone, skin, and nerve health too.
Magnesium helps the body relax into a restful state, but it also helps our bodies do all the hard work of recovery during sleep. Magnesium is essential for protein synthesis to muscle, nerve function, healthy glucose and blood pressure levels, DNA synthesis and glutathione (the body’s primary antioxidant) production.
Our immune systems and sleep are intricately connected, with one thing affecting the other drastically! So keeping a healthy immune system (and getting enough quality sleep!) is crucial for our health.
ImmuPro is one of our favorite ways to support the immune system. These chewable tablets contain Ningxia wolfberry (a potent antioxidant), zinc, and selenium along with melatonin (natural sleep hormone!) for restorative rest when you aren’t at your best. Grab these tablets when you feel your defenses going down, whenever you travel, or anytime you want a little boost!
SleepEssence is a wonderful supplement for helping the body relax into its natural, restful sleep rhythm. It contains many sleep-supporting essential oils (Lavender, Rue, Valerian, and more) as well as melatonin (a well-known, natural sleep aid) to help you fall asleep and sleep well!
We reach for this supplement when rest is elusive, when we feel our defenses going down and want to allow our bodies extra rest, or anytime we need a little boost when it comes to deep sleep. The ingredients in SleepEssence help to physically relax the body and sooth the mind so that you can find restful sleep.
Think of Unwind like an essential oil-infused version of popular magnesium powders! This delicious powder is formulated to help promote a calm and relaxed state, reduce restlessness, and improve focus and mental clarity at home and in the classroom. And even though it was developed for children, it is a favorite for adults too! KidScents Unwind combines calming ingredients (L-theanine, 5-HTP, and magnesium) with sleep-supporting essential oils (Lavender, Roman Chamomile) to help the mind and body wind down at the end of the day.
As research emerges on CBD, we are learning more and more how it helps our bodies maintain homeostasis (a state of stability), but we do know that CBD is incredibly soothing to both the mind and body. Because of this, many people use the CBD Oil during their nightly routine!
The CBD Oil comes in Cinnamon, Cool Mint, and Citrus. Citrus are our favorite. Infused with Young Living’s grapefruit and orange essential oils, this oil is soothing, calming, and even helps give your immune system a little boost! Citrus CBD is available in a 500mg dose and a 1000mg dose and can be used topically or ingested.
