Indium Sulphate may 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.
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 manufacturing 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, two widely regarded sleep enhancing minerals were also increased. Chromium, the mineral so necessary for insulin production, was increased by 333%. Some studies suggest that Indium Sulphate may even have anti-cancer properties! Somniac PM contains 5 mg of Indium Sulphate. Our supplements, Staminac AM and ProFormax-CR, contain Indium Sulphate as well. Visit www.StaminacAM.com and www.BuyProFormax.com for more information.
As you may know, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that lie dormant in your bone marrow most of the time, but have the power to travel to the part of the body that needs to be repaired or enhanced. Like embryonic cells, your own adult stem cells have the miraculous ability to transform themselves into any cell type in the body throughout your entire life. Properly stimulated, they can become lung cells, they can form heart vessels or build nails... whatever your body needs!Stanford University made a groundbreaking scientific discovery about a decade ago. They discovered that miniscule amounts of nicotinic alkaloids found in dozens of dietary foods could actually recruit adult stem cells to work for the body in times of stress or disease. In subsequent clinical studies, it was proved that these plant alkaloids helped people in physiotherapy, and boosted and accelerated muscle mass development when used as part of an exercise routine.
Somniac PM includes 10 milligrams of natural eggplant extract that has shown to have the same incredible stem cell recruitment properties as some of the other vegetables in that same plant family. This means that Somniac PM may boost your body's ability to rejuvenate and regenerate while you sleep.
In order to take advantage of Eggplant Extract's natural powers 24 hours a day, we recommend that you use our daytime supplements, Staminac AM or ProFormax-CR as well. Visit www.StaminacAM.com and www.BuyProFormax.com for more information!
Chamomile (Matricaria recutite or M. Chamomilla) is known as a traditional remedy for stress, anxiety, indigestion and insomnia. Somniac PM contains 75 mg of Chamomile Extract, a powerful dosage to help you get a great night's sleep!

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate sleep. Both human research studies and anecdotal evidence indicate that Melatonin supplementation can be an effective and side effect-free sleep aid for adults suffering from insomnia or other sleep disorders. Melatonin promotes rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms that regulates the metabolism of all higher organisms. Somniac PM contains 2 mg of Melatonin.
Your body produces melatonin naturally. Darkness naturally raises your melatonin production. However, the level of your own melatonin level can drop for various reasons, such as by eating too close to bedtime, exercising late at night, using stimulants such as coffee, tea or caffeinated soft drinks or even by not having time to eat regular meals. According to the Harvard Medical School study, some pharmaceutical products such as Aspirin can reduce melatonin levels as well.
When you awaken from melatonin-assisted sleep, you should not fee tired or groggy, but refreshed and rejuvenated instead. If any grogginess occurs after taking two tablets of Somniac PM, simply reduce your dosage to one tablet instead.
Magnesium deficiency leads to confusion, insomnia and irritability. And, according to researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture's Grand Forks Human Nutrition Center, it can cause sleeplessness and even heart attacks. Magnesium is needed to balance with calcium and relax the muscles. According to Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, a renowned author of Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Magnesium ranks is one of the most effective nutrients to fight insomnia. Somniac PM contains 50 mg of Magnesium Oxide.
Please note that the consumption of alcohol, the use of diuretics, fluoride and even high levels of vitamin D increase your body's need for magnesium. If you consumer large amounts of fat, this too may decrease your ability to absorb magnesium.

5-Hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP is the precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is obtained commercially from the seeds of the plant Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP increases the production of Serotonin, the imbalance of which may influence mood in a way that leads to depression, anxiety and even excess anger. Somniac PM contains 50 mg of 5-HTP.

Although serotonin is a sleep hormone, serotonin imbalances can cause depression with sleeplessness. But when you boost your serotonin levels, you inhibit depressive or obsessive thinking. Even if something has been bothering you during the day, you may find it easier to let go, relax and fall asleep with Somniac PM.

It calms the central nervous system and lowers the blood pressure. Somniac PM contains 50 mg of Passion Flower Extract.
Clinical studies suggest that people taking Valerian enjoy improved sleep quality without morning grogginess. Since they work on the same receptors in the central nervous system, some researchers have compared Valerian to Valium. However, Valerian is a much milder and safer sedative. Unlike Valium, Valerian is not addictive and doesn't lead to dependency. Somniac PM contains 50mg of Valerian Extract.
According to a study referred to by the National Institute of Health, the use of the Valerian Extract resulted in a statistically significant subjective reduction of time it took to fall asleep. Participants also reported improvement in the quality of sleep quality and experience a smaller number of nighttime awakenings. Especially those people in the study that described themselves as poor sleepers, reported the greatest improvements!
