Dormyx's Ingredients
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in energy production, protein synthesis, and DNA repair among other essential activities. Despite this, the USDA claims that about only half of Americans do not consume enough in their daily diet. Magnesium also plays a pivotal role in neurotransmitter regulation and muscle relaxation; love magnesium levels can lead to sleep disturbances, muscle tension, and irritability. The chelated glycinate form, highly bioavailable and gentle on digestion due to its being bound to amino acid glycine, calms the central nervous system and reduces nighttime restlessness. Thanks to the dual-action provided by glycine, a protein-synthesizing and antioxidant amino acid shown to reduce sleep latency and improve sleep quality, Magnesium Glycinate is particularly effective for those experiencing sleep disturbances linked to somatic and mental stress, prolonged blue light exposure, and overstimulation.
Taurine
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that while your body synthesizes its own Taurine, in certain situations your body's demand for Taurine exceeds its production capacity. Taurine modulates GABA activity, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter responsible for dampening excitatory signals in the brain. By reducing cortisol levels and promoting neuronal stability, taurine helps ease the transition into sleep without sedation. It also supports cardiovascular health, a valuable co-benefit for women under chronic stress and caffeine-consuming professionals.
L-Theanine
Derived from green tea, L-theanine is a non-essential amino acid that promotes alpha brainwave activity associated with calm focus. It reduces psychological stress and improves sleep quality without reducing alertness the next day. For high-performing individuals, L-theanine allows an easier slip into deep rest without mental fog the next day.
L-Serine
L-serine is a critical, non-essential amino acid involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylserine, a compound that supports cognitive function and cellular communication. Studies suggest it may enhance memory consolidation during sleep while reducing waking episodes, particularly during REM cycles. On the cutting-edge of biohacking research, this amino acid plays a crucial role in cellular proliferation and protein synthesis.
L-Tryptophan
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid, and a key ingredient in Dormyx™. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin production, but for your body to synthesize serotonin and melatonin, tryptophan requires nutrients including B vitamins, biopterin, and magnesium. Magnesium, calcium, and zinc are cofactors that directly and indirectly assist in the body's synthesis of serotonin and ultimately melatonin. In Dormyx™, we have designed the tryptophan to be activated by these essential minerals so you body is equipped to naturally produce the melatonin it needs for a good night's sleep.
Unlike isolated melatonin supplementation, tryptophan enables endogenous melatonin production, preserving the body’s hormonal sensitivity and circadian rhythm. We strongly advise against supplementing with isolated melatonin hormone.
Chamomile Extract
A traditional botanical with modern clinical validation, chamomile promotes mild sedation and relaxation through its apigenin content, which binds to allosteric modulatory sites on GABA-A receptors in the brain. Chamomile’s rich flavonoid complex, containing apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin has been found to enhance sleep onset and reduce anxiety. We use a concentrated extract of chamomile flowers with an augmented flavonoid yield to promote the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
Calcium Citrate
Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a fundamental role as a cofactor in the synthesis of neurotransmitters including melatonin. Low calcium levels have been linked to insomnia and sleep disturbances, including issues with REM sleep. Research suggests that calcium citrate aids in melatonin production through conversion of tryptophan, regulating the sleep-wake cycle, and in reducing midnight wakeups. The citrate form is claimed to be the most bioavailable and easy to digest without food.
Zinc Picolinate
Zinc is an essential mineral crucial for so many functions: over 200 enzymatic reactions, cell division, testosterone metabolism in men, wound healing, and proper function of the immune system in part by activating T-cells. The chelated zinc picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of zinc bound to the organic picolinic acid, a metabolite of tryptophan. Research suggests that zinc modulates neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate, and may interact with the pineal gland to promote melatonin production. Studies have also shown that zinc deficiency is associated with poor sleep quality and sleep disorders. Independently and as part of the Verisoma BetterMorning Blend™ in Dormyx™, zinc picolinate aids in the rested and recovered feelings that come from the body repairing itself during a good night's sleep.
Who Dormyx™ Was Made For
Everyone’s body deserves the best rest it can get. Dormyx™ was created for people who know that better rest is attainable and that their body is naturally capable of real, restful sleep. After personal experiences and interviews with shift workers, active mothers, and working professionals, Dormyx™ was made to especially help those whose minds are on all day to be able to naturally reset and recharge at night.
We hope that our formula will be a blessing for you and your body.
Sleep that speaks for itself: Do it with Dormyx™†.
