Sleep, Stress & Mood brings together magnesium in every format, traditional herbs such as ashwagandha, rhodiola and bacopa, and Boiron homeopathic medicines for occasional sleeplessness and stress. Browse magnesium gummies, glycinate powders, liquids and tablets from Trace Minerals, Ultra Lyte, OstroVit, Trec and Essensey.
The rest of this range is mainly magnesium and herbal supplements, covered below.
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, which is why it sits in this section. The formats differ mainly in taste and convenience:
Check the magnesium per serving on the label and count any magnesium already in your multivitamin. Gummies often contain sugar, so check the label if you are watching your intake.
Ashwagandha, Trec Rhodiola Rosea and Essensey Bacopa Monnieri are traditional botanicals with no authorised health claims, so read the label warnings carefully, especially if you are pregnant or take medication. Hyland's Nerve Tonic is a homeopathic medicine; use it as its label directs. For daytime concentration products, see Brain & Focus.
Choose the format you will take consistently. Gummies and glycinate powders are easy to take in the evening, liquids suit people who already add drops to drinks, and tablets are the most compact.
No. Melatonin is a prescription-only medicine in the UK, so the sleep products here, including Boiron SleepCalm, are melatonin-free.
They are often combined, but read both labels. The Food Standards Agency has advised pregnant women and people with liver problems to avoid ashwagandha while it reviews its safety, and anyone on medication should ask a pharmacist first.
Boiron SleepCalm Kids comes as liquid doses and pellets, with the age range printed on each pack. Most other products in this range are intended for adults.
Both. Boiron and Hyland's products are homeopathic medicines with uses stated on their labels, while the magnesium and herbal products are food supplements.
