Thorne Deep Sleep Complex

Melatonin-Free Sleep Support Thorne Deep Sleep Complex Two capsules carry 500 mg of Maizinol corn leaf extract, 200 mg of Suntheanine L-theanine, and 100 mg of chamomile extract. There is no melatonin in the formula. Maizinol is standardized to 0.2% 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, a naturally occurring compound similar to melatonin, and the formula supports your body's own melatonin production rather than supplying it directly.* That distinction matters if you have taken melatonin and woken up groggy. This is non-habit-forming, built around three botanical extracts that quiet the mind at bedtime, and the chamomile is standardized to no less than 1.2% apigenin, the flavonoid that promotes relaxation.* Maizinol Corn Leaf Extract 500 mg Per 2 capsules, 0.2% 6-MBOA L-Theanine 200 mg Suntheanine, per 2 capsules Chamomile Extract 100 mg No less than 1.2% apigenin Melatonin 0 mg Melatonin-free formula Melatonin-free Non-habit-forming Gluten, dairy and soy free The Formula Three Extracts, One Standardized To A Melatonin Analogue Each ingredient here is a named, standardized extract rather than a generic botanical powder, which is what makes the amounts on the label meaningful. 🌽 Maizinol Corn Leaf Extract A patented extract from young green corn shoots, standardized to contain 0.2% 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, a naturally occurring compound similar to melatonin. It has been clinically studied to support all phases of the sleep cycle rather than only sleep onset. Maizinol is a registered trademark owned by Unigen, Inc. 500 mg · 0.2% 6-MBOA 🍵 Suntheanine L-Theanine L-theanine is an amino acid that supports a healthy stress response, and it works by increasing alpha-wave production, the brain state associated with relaxed alertness.* Suntheanine is the patented form, with 50 studies behind it over the last 20 years. Suntheanine is a registered trademark of Taiyo International, Inc. 200 mg · 50 studies in 20 years 🌼 Chamomile At 1.2% Apigenin Chamomile extract from the flowering top of Matricaria recutita, standardized to contain no less than 1.2% apigenin. Apigenin is the flavonoid responsible for chamomile's relaxing effect, so standardizing to it is what separates a measured dose from a cup of tea.* 100 mg · Minimum 1.2% apigenin 🚫 No Melatonin, No Habit Formation Melatonin supplements supply the hormone directly. This formula does not contain any, and is non-habit-forming. The design goal is supporting your body's own melatonin production and normalizing sleep architecture, which is why Thorne positions it for people who want to wake without next-day grogginess.* Melatonin-free · Non-habit-forming What It Supports Sleep Architecture, Not Just Sleep Onset 😴 Faster drift-off, longer asleep Onset 📉 Cortisol modulation at bedtime Stress response 🔄 Normalized sleep phases Architecture 🧘 Calmer mind, less nightly tension Relaxation 🌙 Fewer waking disturbances Through the night ⚙️ Your own melatonin production Natural support ☀️ Clear-headed mornings No grogginess 🙂 Improved sense of well-being Daily Full Spec Sheet Specifications Supplement Facts (Per 2 Capsules) Serving size 2 capsules Servings per container 30 Corn extract (leaf), Zea mays 500 mg L-Theanine 200 mg Chamomile extract (flowering top), Matricaria recutita 100 mg Melatonin None Formula & Product Details Other ingredients Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Calcium Laurate, Silicon Dioxide Corn leaf extract Maizinol, standardized to 0.2% 6-MBOA.

Chamomile standardization No less than 1.2% apigenin Unit count 60 capsules Dietary Gluten free, dairy free, soy free Testing Third-party tested and certified for label accuracy and for absence of unsafe levels of heavy metals, pesticides and microorganisms Questions Frequently Asked Questions When should I take Deep Sleep Complex? + Take 2 capsules 60 minutes before bedtime, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. The bottle holds 60 capsules, so 30 nights per bottle. Does this contain melatonin? + No. The formula is melatonin-free and non-habit-forming. The Maizinol corn leaf extract is standardized to 0.2% 6-MBOA, a naturally occurring compound similar to melatonin, and the formula is built to support your body's own melatonin production rather than supply the hormone.* How soon should I notice anything? + Thorne gives a timeline: a decrease in feelings of stress in 20 minutes, a sense of relaxation from increased alpha-wave production in 60 minutes, less time needed to fall asleep and more total sleep within a week of nightly use, and a decrease in anxious feelings after two weeks.* What do the clinical figures actually show? + Thorne reports the following from clinical studies on the individual ingredients in this formula, not on the finished product: 41 more minutes of total sleep per night on average, 24 fewer minutes awake in the middle of the night, up to 30 more minutes in deep sleep, 35 more minutes of non-REM sleep, and a 49% improvement in sleep quality.* Why do the standardizations matter? + Botanical extracts vary enormously in active content. Here the corn leaf extract is standardized to 0.2% 6-MBOA and the chamomile to no less than 1.2% apigenin, the flavonoid behind chamomile's relaxing effect. Without a standardization figure, a milligram amount on a label tells you very little. Is it gluten, dairy, or soy free, and is it tested? + Yes to all three. It is also third-party tested and certified to verify the contents match the label and to confirm no unsafe levels of contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. Are there any warnings or interactions? + This product is contraindicated in anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Thorne reports no known adverse interactions or contraindications as of the label's publication date. * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
