NutridenSport Sleep Formula Contains Phellodendron for Performance Recovery

In traditional Chinese medicine, Huang bai, a herb more commonly known as phellodendron is in the top 50 for most important herbs.

Phellodendron is derived from the two species of Phellodendron tree; one tree found in central and lowland China and the other tree found in Northern China. Huang means yellow in Chinese, and the color comes from an alkaloid berberine that phellodendron contains, which is very powerful and even toxic in large amounts. Portions of the bark, berry, twig or root are cut and made into a powder that can be capsuled. Phellodendroncontains numerous anti-oxidants and these anti-oxidants translate into health benefits.

While many sports provide health benefits, many sports, particularly competitive sports, can also be physically and emotionally stressful. Bodybuilding, either for recreation or as a competitive sport, is very taxing physically and emotionally on the body. To neutralize the vigorous nature of this type of sport training many athletes are turning to natural remedies that can benefit them not just physically, but also psychologically this is echoed in a study about phellodendron by Talbot and Pugh (2013), “Competitive athletes are “stressed” by their intense exercise regimens in addition to their normal activities of daily living and thus may benefit from a natural therapy intended to modulate baseline perceptions of stress and stress hormone exposure.”

Phellodendron contains many alkaloids and phytonutrients that will strengthen the immune system, calm the mind, and help athletes sleep and their bodies recover from the rigours of training. Sleep is a critical building block for training athletes and for their performance recovery and those that fail to get enough sleep are wasting potential gains and are putting their bodies under further stress. Phellodendron works great to calm the mind, and when combined with other ingredients, it works great as a sleep formula before bed and is one of the key ingredients in Nutriden’s All Natural Sleep Aid Supplement.

Phellodendron is a great option for athletes who know that a good sleep at night is critical in helping muscles recover, grow, and repair.

Nutriden Sleep Formula Contains Phellodendron to Help Balance Mood

In traditional Chinese medicine, Huang bai, a herb more commonly known as phellodendron is in the top 50 for most important herbs.

Phellodendronis derived from the two species of Phellodendron tree; one tree found in central and lowland China and the other tree found in Northern China. Huang means yellow in Chinese, and the color comes from an alkaloid berberine that phellodendron contains. Portions of the root, bark, berry, or twig are cut and made into a fine mesh powder that can be capsuled. Phellodendroncontains numerous anti-oxidants and these anti-oxidants translate into health benefits, including emotional wellbeing.

Some of phellodendron’s health benefits are due to containing some uniquechemicals. One of the chemicals, berberine, has been shown to lower blood sugar and bad cholesterol, as well as protect the liver from toxicity. Another chemical in Phellodendron, palmatine, has been associated with reducing Candida growth; in fact, the unique phytonutrients it contains have natural anti-depressantsand emotional well-being properties. High levels of stress increase susceptibility to developing depression. Talbot and Pugh (2013) concluded in their study using phellodendron that “… results suggest an effective natural approach to modulating the detrimental health effects of chronic stress in moderately stressed adults.”

Phellodendron works great to calm the mind, and when combined with other ingredients, works great as an all natural sleep aid before bed. Phellodendron is a great, natural option for people who suffer from high-level or chronic stress and depression and want a natural sleep aid because they know that a good night’s sleep is critical in maintaining good health including optimum emotional well being.

Melatonin is the most well-known hormone in relation to inducing sleep for all ages. The main benefit of taking melatonin is to adjust the body’s internal clock so that it relaxes the mind and body and encourages sleep.  Now, magnesium has now been associated with improving sleep quality and reducing insomnia in the elderly.

Magnesium is a macro-mineral and is needed in large amounts by the human body to facilitate hundreds of chemical reactions throughout the body. Magnesium is the second most abundant element inside human cells. The main benefit of taking magnesium is helping the body transition into a relaxed state. Magnesium helps by triggering a sequence of chemical reactions that begin a “wind down” of sorts to get ready to sleep. In the case of sleep, magnesium is the primary ingredient in muscle relaxation and magnesium has a neuroprotective effect that is important in every stage of sleep. Magnesium assists in slowing metabolic processes and lowering brain temperature as your body tries to repair daily damage during sleep cycles, and magnesium helps regulate key hormones responsible for not only helping you to fall asleep, but also helping you to stay asleep.

According to one study cited in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (2012 Dec; 17(12): 1161–1169),

“Nearly 50% of older adults have insomnia, with difficulty in getting to sleep, early awakening, or feeling unrefreshed on waking. With aging, several changes occur that can place one at risk for insomnia, including age-related changes in various circadian rhythms, environmental and lifestyle changes, and decreased nutrients intake, absorption, retention, and utilization.”

For Baby Boomers, falling and staying asleep is not as easy as it once was as with many other hormones and elements magnesium levels and absorption may decrease effecting quality sleep.
