Sleep Formula Tincture contains the following active ingredients: Hops, Valerian Root and Scullcap.

This formula uses a tincture based delivery system, which means that it is available in a liquid alcohol base and is infused with herbs. This tincture contains Hops, Valerian Root and Scullcap. Valerian is one of the herbs that many consumers look for in a supplement, because it has been heavily promoted as being a “sure fire cure all” for insomnia and anxiety. Valerian has been shown to allow some users to achieve relief form insomnia.

That said, it may not be effective for everyone, regardless of the hype that surrounds its abilities. In studying the research available on Valerian, we have noticed that its abilities are inconsistent with regard to insomnia. Some studies indicate it is effective, while others report that it is not. This tells us that some users may get some relief when using it, while others may not. We believe that once consumers have this information, they can make a decision based on their own needs. However, this information is not always readily available, which is unfortunate because some users may be left wondering why Valerian isn’t working for them.

Hops, on the other hand, has been shown to be extremely consistent in delivering results when it comes to insomnia because it can ease tenseness and restlessness naturally, by directly affecting the central nervous system. This has been borne out by research studies, where participants who used Hops reported achieving a much sounder sleep. These reports were confirmed by the researchers who were monitoring the brain waves of the participants who indicated that they did receive a much deeper level of sleep.

This retailer’s website provides consumers with very little actual information regarding this product, giving consumers just pricing and ingredient information. We were pleased to see that the formulary was disclosed, because we find that very often it is not. However, we would have liked to have seen the purported abilities of each ingredient highlighted for consumer review.

We also would have appreciated seeing some information posted regarding the Scullcap’s potential ability to cause liver damage, as well as Valerian’s potential ability to cause symptoms of withdrawal when its use is discontinued. We believe that this kind of information needs to be fully disclosed by retailers and product developers.

Sleep Formula Tincture uses Hops, which we were especially pleased to see, because, as mentioned above, it has an outstanding ability to induce sleep in users. However, the two other elements used, Valerian and Scullcap, are not typically considered heavy hitters in the sleep inducing realm, as their abilities are not grounded in fact.

We prefer to see Hops used in conjunction with Melatonin and Lemon Balm Extract – two of the most results oriented elements currently available on the holistic market. Melatonin has an innate ability to reset the sleep cycle, which may be an extremely effective way to get sleep back on track, and Lemon Balm has a remarkable ability to calm users so they may obtain a relaxing and revitalizing sleep.
