Nocturnix consists of a select group of compounds specially formulated to alleviate the symptoms of insomnia, improving the quantity and quality of sleep.
Nocturnix does not contain caffeine, ephedrine, guarana, taurine or other dangerous stimulants. Nocturnix is also not a sleeping pill product - Nocturnix works by regulating the circadian rhythms and reducing stress.
Nocturnix's formula includes melatonin, eleutherococcus senticosus and rhodiola rosea, and all of our ingredients are safe and naturally occuring with over 3,100 scientific studies in their use.
Melatonin
Melatonin naturally occurs in humans, as well as most animals. It is important in the regulation of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. It has been available as a dietary supplement for over 15 years.
Melatonin production and rhythmicity is affected by "dark" and "light" signals received by the retina. This production regulates behavioural and physiological circadian rhythms, effectively giving the body a sense of "time" and "season".
Many animals, including humans, use the variation in duration and quantity of melatonin production each day as a biological clock. The changes in melatonin secretion serve as a biological signal for the organisation of daylength dependant biological functions.
The melatonin signal regulates the circadian cycle by lowering body temperature and causing drowsiness. Melatonin promotes sleepiness.
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. In animals melatonin has been demonstrated to prevent damage by carcinogens, stopping the mechanism by which they cause cancer. Melatonin may increase longevity and in some studies has been shown to increase the average life span of mice by 20%.
Reduced melatonin production has been proposed as a likely factor in the significantly higher cancer rates in night workers.
Clinical studies have shown that melatonin is an effective preventative treatment for migraines and cluster headaches.
Melatonin is involved in the regulation of body weight, and may be helpful in treating obesity.
Recent studies have shown the success of melatonin in the treatment of insomnia.
Eleutherococcus senticosus
Eleutherococcus senticosus is an adaptogen, a mild anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and an immune tonic.
Eleutherococcus senticosus is used to treat fatigue, stress, neurasthenia and sore muscles.
It may alleviate symptoms including dark circles under the eyes, and dilating/contracting pupils.
Eleutherococcus senticosus has been widely available in Chinese medicine, and is used:
- to increase endurance
- to improve memory
- as an anti-inflammatory
- to strengthen the immune system
It is neutral energetically and therefore appropriate for daily use. Taken regularly, it enhances immune function, decreases cortisol levels and inflammatory response, and it promotes improved cognitive and physical performance.
Eleutherococcus senticosus has been shown to have significant antidepressant effects in rats.
It has been used to treat headache, insomnia and poor appetite.
Rhodiola rosea
Rhodiola rosea is also an adaptogen and may be effective for improving mood and alleviating depression. Pilot studies on human subjects showed that it improves physical and mental performance, and may reduce fatigue.
Laboratory tests found that rhodiola rosea prevented stress-induced changes in appetite, physical activity and weight gain.
Rhodiola rosea increases energy and mental performance.
