The Carefree Sleep formula contains Chamomile, Holy Basil and Sage Extracts. These herbs help to relieve anxiety and quiet an overactive mind at bedtime.
Chamomile helps with sleep because it contains the antioxidant apigenin, which binds to brain receptors to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and induce drowsiness. This antioxidant has a mild sedative effect, similar to how some prescription tranquilizers work on the brain, and also activates GABA receptors, which slows down the nervous system.
Holy basil supports sleep by acting as an adaptogen to help the body manage stress, which can disrupt sleep. It may help reduce cortisol levels, calm the nervous system, and promote a state of relaxation that makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Some research also suggests it can improve sleep efficiency and quality.
Sage extract may support sleep by having calming effects on the nervous system, potentially reducing anxiety and stress that interfere with sleep. Compounds in sage, like rosmarinic acid, may act on neurotransmitters such as GABA to promote relaxation. Research also indicates it can improve sleep quality, particularly in women experiencing menopausal symptoms, by reducing night sweats and anxiety.
