Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our health.
But evidence suggests sleep disorders are on the rise — with 35% of Americans not getting enough sleep.
Sleep deprivation can affect us in many ways — from a lack of concentration to weight gain. So it’s hardly surprising so many people are turning to sleep aids and supplements.
But do they work? Here’s our take:
Can Sleep Aids and Supplements Help You Sleep?
In short, the answer is yes.
There’s a good amount of research to suggest supplements and sleep aids can help improve both the duration and quality of sleep.
Depending on the formula, they can help combat some of the most common sleep problems.
These Benefits Include:
- Difficulty Falling Asleep.
- Frequent Night Waking or Ability to Stay Asleep
- Lack of Time Spent in REM Sleep.
- Shorter Duration of Sleep.
In fact, there’s a growing body of evidence to support the idea that these sleep aids are just as good — if not better — than medical prescriptions.
Why Are People Choosing Sleep Supplements Instead of Prescriptions?
Sleep aids and supplements are safe and effective alternatives to prescriptions.
But why are people choosing them?
If traditional sleep medications work, why not just use them?
Well, for starters, doctors are prescribing fewer medical sleep aids. There are many reasons for this, but their unreliability — coupled with their side effects — could be one of the biggest reasons.
In one study, only a third of people who took sleep medication claimed to have slept well — and 60% of them said they suffered from side effects the next day.
More and more people are seeking natural solutions. It is still essential you take extreme care in a number of areas when it comes to private label Sleep Aids.
Some of These Are:
- Research the private label manufacturer before ordering products; especially in this category. Using a company such as mine can be very beneficial as we conduct audits of our manufacturers with a 3rd Party Auditor on an annual basis to ensure all GMP Guidelines are being followed. This is a free service to you when using our resources. It is your responsibility to do so when not using our suppliers as stated in the GMP Guidelines.
- Safety of materials – too much of a good thing holds true here. Especially with materials such as Melatonin. This is a hormone and can cause damage to your body if take in too large of a quantity. You may not know this unless you have an ethical team working with you.
- Provide sufficient warnings to your consumers about checking with their physician before taking your private label Sleep Aids as your name is on that bottle.
- Provide warnings about not using if they have a heart condition, are pregnant or are mixing with alcohol.
It is about being a responsible brand owner. We have a responsibility to consumers when selling ingestible private label supplements and vitamins. Strong partnerships are essentials in building brands to achieve the goals you are after. The GMP Guidelines are set up for us to work within them to ensure consumers are safe. They are not an optional.
Should You Add Sleep Aids and Supplements to Your Product Line?
The USA is in the midst of a sleep epidemic — with more than 50 million Americans struggling to get enough sleep.
This means Sleep Aids are a valuable asset to any private label supplement line. So valuable, you can even create a single product line around a very powerful marketing strategy.
If you’re passionate about helping people improve their health — and want to create consistent revenue for your organization — why not give them a try?
Our Recommendations:
There are many Sleep Aid formulas for you to choose from. Here are some of my favorites:
ZZZbien Complex
A unique blend of minerals and herbs — along with 3mg of Melatonin — this is a good all-round solution for anyone craving better quality sleep.
Another blend, our Restful Sleep Support Formula contains GABA — a neurotransmitter thought to help us sleep deeper and for longer. It also contains Hops, Valerian Extract, 5-HTP, and Melatonin.
Melatonin
Melatonin is one of the most well-researched sleep supplements. The hormone is produced naturally in the body and helps govern our circadian rhythm. We offer a either a 3mg or 5mg dose. Please make sure you are specific with your directions for use with this material as explained above.
This Sleep Aid contains 100mg of 5-HTP — as well as Niacin, Vitamin B6, Magnesium and Valerian Root.
5-HTP has been a popular sleep aid for many years. It’s thought to work by helping your body produce more Serotonin, which then converts to Melatonin.
Our Valerian Root supplement is a simple, one-ingredient solution. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a herbal remedy — and comes with a whole host of additional benefits.
