Indium Sulphate – 5 mg
Indium Sulphate combined with natural botanicals can induce well-being, relaxation and sleep by increasing the absorption of other ingredients found in Somniac PM. Indium also works with your brain's HPA complex where it may modulate hormones that can inhibit or interfere with sleep, such as epinephrine, adrenaline and cortisols. In other words, Indium Sulphate may reset your hormonal balance and help you fall asleep easier. Indium Sulphate may also promote REM and deep sleep. Somniac PM contains 5 mg of Indium Sulphate.
Studies have shown that indium can increase the absorption of several minerals. For example, when Indium Sulphate was added to the diet, researchers found that the absorption of copper – needed for hormone synthesis and the manufacture of collagen (the 'glue' that holds connective tissue together) – was increased by an average of 161%. Zinc, which is needed for normal growth, fertility, mental alertness, skin health, immune function and cell reproduction, was increased by 179%.
Calcium and magnesium are two widely regarded sleep enhancing minerals were also increased. Chromium the mineral so necessary for insulin production was increased by 333%. Amino acids such as tryptophan and hormones such as serotonin are equally required as sleep enhancers as is certain B vitamins such as B6 and B12. They are all thought to be potentiated when combined with Indium Sulphate. During sleep the limbic brain activates vital signals to the HPA complex, the key regulator of mitochondrial function and coordinator of the cell’s nuclear and mitochondria gene expressions necessary for cellular repair muscle growth and energy stores for the awake state.
I want you to know that Somniac PM has been a true life saver for me. I was diagnosed with insomnia when I was around 17-18 years old. I've honestly had sleeping problems for a VERY long time now. My problem is falling asleep and for some ungodly reason I cannot fall asleep on my own. Sure I have been prescribed medication to help me sleep but they only work for a few days and then I have to stop taking them for a few days to make them work again, if they work at all.
