If you have chronic illness like me, sleep can often be elusive. Even if you can fall asleep somewhat easily, it’s not always as easy to stay asleep. Pain, for me, wakes me up often. And thus starts a vicious cycle. Pain keeping you up means less sleep, less sleep means more sensitivity to pain, and repeat. No fun.
Last month I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to try FibroSleep, courtesy of ProHealth. FibroSleep is a blend of natural ingredients that helps you sleep better in four ways:
- Herbal Sleep Support: FibroSleep uses Sedapine which contains Ziziphus Spinosa, Corydalis, Valerian, and Passion Flower which are blended to provide effective support for sleep, relaxation, and general health
- Digestive Support: Lemon Balm, Ginger, Peppermint, and Hops are used to help support the digestive tract during sleep.
- Muscle Support: FibroSleep contains two forms of magnesium, ZMA and Magnesium Taurinate, to balance nerve transmission and muscle fiber contraction while you sleep.
- Amino Acid Support: GABA, Melatonin, 5-HTP, and L-Theanine help with nerve cell health and neurotransmitter/hormone production and balance.
While using FibroSleep, I found that I awoke less often than I typically did. I really like that I’m able to use a natural product in place of prescription medications that often have strong side effects the next day. The suggested dose is 2 capsules, but I found that most nights, one capsule was enough for me. I do tend to fall asleep easily from medication, so that might explain why one was sufficient.
Sweet dreams
