Some of the elements in Revitalizing Sleep Formula are: Valerian, Passion Flower, L-Theanine, Hops, Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract and Jamaica Dogwood Root Extract.

Revitalizing Sleep Formula uses Valerian, a commonly known herbal extract with some sedative effects. However, research on this element has shown that it may not generate guaranteed results.

We usually suggest consumers look for formulas that use an herbal extract that is far more results oriented and consistent in delivering results. One such element is Lemon Balm Extract, which has been shown in research studies to consistently provide users with the sleep they need.

This formula also uses two little known herbal extracts - Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract and Jamaica Dogwood Root Extract, which are said to alleviate insomnia. Jamaica Dogwood Root Extract has been used extensively in folk medicine as a method to relieve migraine headaches, as well as a way to ease anxiety, insomnia and fear.

Some research suggests that it has an ability to relieve pain and promote sweating. However, it has also been used throughout Central and South America as a fish poison, as well as being used as an insecticide to help control lice, fleas, and larvae; because it contains a element called Rotenone. It is believed to be well tolerated by humans, but we believe that more research needs to be conducted on this herb before it is used as an holistic herbal extract in sleep aids.

Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract has been used as a method to alleviate coughs, and is an extremely mild sedative. However, here too, its abilities are not likely to be compared with Lemon Balm Extract. Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract often seems rather benign and ineffective when compared to Lemon Balm Extract.

In general, we would have appreciated some relevant product related information on this retailer’s website, such as the formulary. Since the formulary was not posted online, we were required to look elsewhere. While we feel this was acceptable, we also believe that with this lack of information, customers are presented with an undue burden to conduct more research than necessary or accept the company’s claims on face value. This may well result in consumers purchasing a product that may create only nominal results.

• Contains Hops

• Does not contain Melatonin
• Lemon Balm Extract is missing from formulary
• Uses elements with potential side effects for some

Revitalizing Sleep Formula does contain Hops, which is actually a proven sleep aid. Hops is actually rather amazing because unlike other herbal sleep aids it works directly on the central nervous system to create sleep in users. It is also relatively fast acting; sometimes taking effect in as little as 20 minutes.

In a recent research study, subjects who suffered from sleeplessness used Hops, and reported receiving a much sounder sleep. Hops is the only element in this formula that we believe may generate results, and in fact, we do not believe its presence is enough to save this formula from being labeled both benign and ineffective. Hops has been shown to work exceptionally well when used with Melatonin and Lemon Balm Extract, two titans on the sleep aid market that have been shown to maximize sleep in users.
