Support Healthy Relaxation And Normal Sleep Patterns!
Knock Out is a combination of Melatonin, Valerian and Theanine.
Melatonin is a metabolic hormone made in the pineal gland, retina, and
intestines. Melatonin is released into the blood stream by the pineal
gland (which resides in the brain) to set your body's biological clock
and initiate sleep. Darkness stimulates the pineal gland and causes it
to produce more melatonin. Day light stops your body's production of
melatonin. Melatonin helps to promote healthy sleep patterns.
Melatonin also protects cells from free radical damage, and directs
the release of growth and sex hormones.
Theanine is believed to be the primary component of green tea that
provides a relaxing effect. Theanine is an amino acid derivative of
glutamine. Oral doses of 50 and 200 mg of theanine given to healthy
volunteers promoted alpha brain wave production. Alpha waves are
associated with a calm mental state. Theanine helps to induce a state
of calm relaxation.
