What is Metagenics NeuroCalm Sleep?
In NZ, Metagenics is a trusted brand that has been around for decades. It specialises in high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements. Metagenics' commitment to being the best consistently drives the brand to create and develop a gold class in supplementation.
The Metagenics team had recognised that many people struggle and suffer from feeling anxious or tense, with these feelings of anxiety heightened during periods of stress. They noticed that many people who suffer from anxiety had trouble sleeping. This varied from people who struggled to fall asleep to those who had issues staying asleep. Some patients showed a combination of the two.
Hence, along comes NeuroCalm Sleep, designed specifically to help those with stress, tension, or anxiety that presents alongside trouble getting restful sleep or contributes to sleeplessness. When designing the formulation, a big priority for Metagenics was to create a non-habit-forming, holistic formulation that would help people get to sleep faster and stay asleep for longer.

What Ingredients in NeuroCalm Sleep Help with Sleep?
NeuroCalm Sleep contains California Poppy Herbal Extract, Lavender Extract, and Passionflower, which have mild sedative properties that relieve insomnia and mild anxiety. Traditionally, these ingredients are used to help contribute to a calm and restful sleep. NeuroCalm Sleep also employs Zizyphus Seed Extract, which exhibits calming effects. Some of these herbs support GABA production, a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain, which helps support better sleep and relaxation.
What Ingredients in NeuroCalm Sleep Help with Anxiety, Stress, and Tension?
Lavender Oil and Zizyphus Seed Extract help ease tension by dialling down excitatory chemicals in the brain. This helps our brains unwind and reduces wakefulness and alertness when it is time to go to bed.
What is the Difference Between NeuroCalm and NeuroCalm Sleep?
The main difference lies in the formulations, which change how these products are designed to be used.
NeuroCalm uses some ingredients shared between them, such as Zizyphus Seed Extract and Passionflower, in lower dosages per tablet to help support patients who primarily feel anxious and stressed without showing symptoms of sleeplessness. It employs other herbal extracts, such as Kudzu Vine Root and Magnolia extract, to help relieve tension, irritability, and anxiety.
On the other hand, NeuroCalm Sleep increases the dose of the Zizyphus Seed Extract and Passionflower alongside other ingredients to help support better sleep.

What Else Do Our Integrative Health Practitioners Recommend to Help with Sleep?
At our boutique pharmacy, there's one thing we highly recommend for improved sleep: Magnesium! But how does magnesium help you sleep? Well, Magnesium Bisglycinate is well absorbed and helps support healthier sleep in various ways:
• Magnesium helps regulate key circadian rhythm (natural sleep cycle) markers to support better sleep.
• Magnesium assists in reducing cortisol levels, which can contribute to heightened stress or anxiety and a lack of sleep. Heightened cortisol levels can also disrupt Melatonin production, our natural sleep hormone.
• Magnesium can support muscle relaxation and neuromuscular function, which is important for sleep. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency often include muscle cramps and spasms.
