Seditol® Plus, provided by Douglas Laboratories®,
is a proprietary blend of Magnolia officinalis and Ziziphus spinosa, as well as
a synergistic herbal blend, specifically designed to promote healthy sleep and
support the body’s normal nocturnal rhythms during stress.* For many individuals, the hectic pace of a Western
lifestyle, lack of exercise and poor eating habits can lead to sub-optimal
health. Often, these same individuals do not receive enough sleep at night. The
vast majority of health care providers now recommend that individuals receive at
least 7-8 hours of sleep.* This lack of sleep has been shown in studies to be a
major cause of elevation of stress (cortisol) and appetite (ghrelin) hormones,
which is thought to lead to a further progression of poor sleep and eating
habits. These poor habits may be part of the factors that determine weight gain,
cardiovascular fitness, mental alertness, immune health and other important
indicators of optimal health and wellbeing.* Seditol Plus is designed to support
healthy sleep patterns and help normalize stress hormones, thus leading to
better sleep and relaxation patterns. The main ingredients of Seditol®, Magnolia
and Ziziphus, have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of
years and are well regarded for their roles in stress management.* In one
clinical trial testing Seditol in adults, 87% of the participants agreed with
the statements “Seditol helps you relax” “Seditol reduces fatigue due to lack of
sleep” and “Seditol allows you to wake up feeling refreshed.”* In the same
clinical trial, 83% of the participants agreed with the statement that “Seditol
helps insure a sound night’s sleep.” In a second clinical trial, over 87% of the
participants agreed with the same aforementioned statements.* In addition to
Seditol, chamomile, lemon balm and passion flower are included for the relaxing
properties they can provide to assist the body’s requirement for a restful
night’s sleep. Seditol Plus may be a useful dietary adjunct for
individuals wishing to support normal sleep patterns and help reduce
stress-induced sleeplessness. As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule one hour
before bedtime or as directed by your healthcare professional. Caution: Causes drowsiness. Consumption may
impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Alcohol may intensify this effect.
