What is Power to Sleep PM?
Power To Sleep is a product intended to help sufferers of insomnia to relax before going to bed as well as maintain healthy and restful sleep throughout the night. What follows is an in-depth review of Power to Sleep.
Ingredients
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Flaxseed Oil
- Valerian Extract
- Ashwagandha Extract
- Hops Extract
- Passionflower Extract
- Lemon Balm Extract
- Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)
- L-theanine
- Melatonin
- BioPerine Complex (black pepper extract, ginger extract)
These ingredients are used to tackle three central areas involved in combating insomnia. The natural extracts are said to put the mind and body at ease, while the elements of Melatonin and GABA work to induce and maintain a restful sleep. L-theanine is included due to its association with stress reduction and Calcium and Magnesium due to their role in promoting a healthy balance within the body.
Though it does not specify which chemical is the cause, the label includes a State of California Proposition 65 warning about potential harmful reproductive effects and says that the formula should not be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing.
Dosage
Users are instructed to take two liquid softgels one half-hour before bedtime.
Too much Melatonin can have undesirable effects, such as nausea, dizziness, and joint pain, so anyone taking other medications that contain this ingredient should check with a healthcare provider to ensure that daily intake will remain within healthy range
What is the Cost?
The Irwin Naturals website sells a bottle of 60 liquid gels for $20.99, but the product can be purchased for as little as $14.49 on other sites.
Manufacturer’s Guarantee
We found the absence of a manufacturer’s guarantee on the product to be concerning with regard to its effectiveness.
Our Final Review of Power to Sleep PM
The liquid gel format of the pill is definitely a positive as it results in quick dispersion of the ingredients and prevents the stomach discomfort sometimes caused by other forms of medication.
Irwin Naturals’ patented Bioperine compound further facilitates fast, smooth, and effective absorption of the various components.
The price of the product is also a plus, as it is significantly lower than those of many competing formulas. However, higher priced items are often backed by a guarantee and Power To Sleep is not.
Power to Sleep does not contain certain elements associated with improved sleep that can be found in similar products. Such ingredients include chamomile extract, taurine, and the amino acid, L-ornithine.
Perhaps most concerning is the California Proposition 65 warning, which indicates that the formula can have seriously damaging effects if taken by pregnant or nursing women.
The product received mixed feedback from users, with some reporting positive results and others claiming to have experienced grogginess, an upset stomach, or no response at all. It has also been noted that the product often has a foul smell to it, likely because of the liquid softgel system.
