Sleep Support
L-Tryptophan Complete is a unique formulation designed to maximize and maintain healthy levels of serotonin in the brain. In conversations, health professionals occasionally report that poorly nourished individuals or individuals in poor health not respond fully to plain L-Tryptophan, even when L-Tryptophan is clearly indicated by tests and symptoms. It is for these individuals, and for individuals in third world and developing nations, that L-Tryptophan Complete was developed. The normal production of both Serotonin and Melatonin from L-Tryptophan depends on numerous enzymes – some of which are part of the L-Tryptophan > Serotonin pathway, and some of which are not. Each enzyme in this process depends, in turn, on specific cofactors and coenzymes. Without these, an enzyme is like a car without wheels, and the biochemical pathway may function poorly or become a dead end – forcing metabolites down alternative pathways that can produce side effects. Getting the right nutrient to the right enzyme is the key. Once in your cells, L-Tryptophan can follow many pathways. The challenge is to encourage L-Tryptophan to follow the one branch that leads to serotonin – and to discourage L-Tryptophan from producing undesirable kynurenine or quinolinic-acid compounds. Lidtke has studied these pathways and has identified cofactors and coenzymes that uniquely help produce and sustain healthy serotonin levels, for a brighter outlook and a more productive life.

Description Try Lidtke's most complete sleep-enhancing formula! Lidtke offers a number of sleep-supporting products, among which are L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP. However, Slumber-EZ is their most complete sleep formula for occasional sleeplessness.* Slumber-EZ improves on the typical shotgun or chemical approach by providing what you really need (orthomolecular nutrition, described by Dr. Linus Pauling) and in amounts that deliver!* Fall asleep naturally...stay asleep through the night...and wake refreshed without drowsiness!* What makes Slumber-EZ so "complete"? Well, consider the experience of Dr. Laura Lambert, who often recommends L-Tryptophan and GABA to help with her patients. Slumber-EZ contains both, and it contains L-Glycine in the form of Magnesium bis-glycinate, a chelated form of Magnesium that is better absorbed than Magnesium oxide and Magnesium citrate.* L-Glycine itself also promotes relaxation.* Together these ingredients promote restful sleep, and leave people saying, "I'm sleeping like a baby."*  Suggested Use (Adults): Take three (3) capsules or as directed by a health-care professional.

Sleep Support Products
A good night's sleep gets you recharged for the next day. Sound sleep helps your body regenerate, relax and boost immunity. In addition to healthy lifestyle changes, you may also wish to add sleep support supplements. Sleep support supplements contain key vitamins, herbs, minerals and natural ingredients such as valerian, jujube seed extracts, calcium, L-Theanine, niacin, kava kava, valerian, chamomile, melatonin and magnesium. These ingredients help maintain balanced levels of GABA, dopamine and serotonin in the body.
Kava-Kava helps relieve anxiety, relax muscles and generally calms you down. It is available in some types of relaxation teas and also as capsules and tablets. Valerian is a well known and time honored relaxant that can be taken as capsules or blended in tea. Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally occurring. Its purpose is to regulate the sleep/wake cycle. It is available in pill, capsule, or liquid form. A soothing cup of chamomile tea before bed will help you relax and also settle your tummy! Of the four sleep supplements mentioned here, it is the only one that can be used indefinitely. All the others should only be used short term.
Sleep supplements are available as teas, tinctures, pills, capsules and powders. They may be herbal or consist of sleep vitamins or amino acids. Some of the most effective healthy sleep aids are Kava Kava, Valerian, Melatonin and Chamomile. Discuss the possibilities with your health care professional and then turn to Vita Living for excellent quality in sleep vitamins and supplements.
Lack of sleep can often be traced to lifestyle. If you are consuming a lot of caffeine and/or alcohol, working too much, exercising too little, eating poorly or engaging in any number of other unhealthy activities, it can have a negative impact on your sleep. Making positive changes to your lifestyle, such as reducing or eliminating caffeine, alcohol, sugar and processed foods from your diet can make a big difference. Adding swimming, yoga, meditation, cycling, walking and other relaxing forms of exercise can also be helpful. Eating a balanced, whole foods diet will improve your life in general and the quality of your sleep.
