Optimal Sleep II - 60 Capsules

Key Benefits and Actions^†

Melatonin-free, natural sleep aid
Supports healthy sleep onset for occasional sleepless nights
Supports balanced brain chemistry and relaxation

Who Needs Optimal Sleep II

Do you find yourself staring at the ceiling some nights, counting sheep? Do you ever feel tired but wired?

On those sleepless nights, you may benefit from specific nutrients that help metabolize excitatory brain chemicals.^†

Optimal Sleep II^† is a melatonin-free sleep aid. The synergistic nutrients support healthy sleep onset.^†

This melatonin-free formula is designed by epigenetics expert, Dr. Ben Lynch. It supports falling asleep by providing the nutrient cofactors needed for healthy neurotransmitter metabolism. Enzymes use these nutrient cofactors in biochemical pathways that allow you to relax, produce melatonin, and clear excitatory catecholamines from your brain. This formula does not contain melatonin or 5-HTP.^†

Healthy sleep requires balanced brain chemistry. This is dependent on proper catecholamine metabolism. Catecholamines are hormones that also function as neurotransmitters. They include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Catecholamines are responsible for feelings of excitement, nervousness, and anger, which can all interfere with sleep. Sleep problems can result from a build-up of these excitatory neurotransmitters in your brain.^†

Optimal Sleep II^† supplies the specific nutrients needed to break down and clear catecholamines from your system.

The nutrients found in Optimal Sleep II^†:^†

Act as cofactors for enzymes that metabolize excitatory brain chemicals (dopamine, epinephrine, etc.)
Serve as enzyme cofactors to break down potentially toxic byproducts from neurotransmitter metabolism (ammonia, aldehydes, etc.)
Support healthy serotonin levels
Are ideal for those with slow MAOA and COMT genes/enzymes

The main enzymes that break down dopamine and serotonin are MAOA and COMT. Unlike our original Optimal Sleep^† formula (intended for people with faster MAOA and COMT enzymes), this product is designed for those who feel that their MAOA and COMT enzymes are working slower. Due to genetics or epigenetics, slower MAOA and COMT enzymes cause excitatory brain chemicals to build up. You can read Dr. Ben Lynch’s bestselling book Dirty Genes or use the StrateGene^® Report to learn your MAOA and COMT status.^†

Optimal Sleep II^† by Seeking Health is intended to help you fall asleep on those occasional sleepless nights. If you need support staying asleep, consider our original Optimal Sleep^†.

The key nutrients in Optimal Sleep II^† target the enzymes and biochemical processes responsible for producing healthy sleep. If you find yourself struggling to calm down after crawling into bed, Optimal Sleep II^† might just be the perfect partner for your nighttime routine.^†

Key Ingredients In Optimal Sleep II

Riboflavin:Cofactor for the MAOA enzyme, which helps to metabolize dopamine for feelings of calm. Supports healthy serotonin levels.^†
Magnesium:Cofactor for the COMT enzyme to support the breakdown of excitatory dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.^†
Lithium & Vitamin B6:Support glutamate metabolism and feelings of calm.^†
Ornithine:This amino acid supports normal ammonia breakdown from neurotransmitter metabolism, as ammonia can lead to excitation in the brain.^†
Thiamine, Zinc & Niacin:Cofactors for the ALDH2 and ADH1B enzymes. Support the normal breakdown of potentially harmful and excitatory DOPAL, DOPEGAL, and other aldehydes.^†

Why Optimal Sleep II Works

Optimal Sleep II^† supports the breakdown of excitatory brain neurotransmitters. A buildup of catecholamines (dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine) can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.^†

Two genes that play important roles in sleep are Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) and Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT). These genes code for the production of enzymes of the same name. MAOA and COMT enzymes are found in your dopamine and serotonin biochemical pathways. This is where catecholamines are created and broken down.^†

MAOA: Enzyme that breaks down dopamine and serotonin.^†
COMT: Enzyme that supports the normal metabolism of estrogen and catecholamines including dopamine.^†

If your MAOA or COMT genes/enzymes are working too slow, it can lead to a buildup of dopamine and serotonin. Elevated brain levels of these excitatory neurotransmitters can make it difficult to calm down at night.^†

Genetic mutations or environmental stressors can slow MAOA and COMT enzyme activity. Slow MAOA and COMT enzymes can reduce your ability to break down stimulating catecholamines along with their potentially harmful metabolic byproducts.^†

Optimal Sleep II^† provides the nutrient cofactors needed by your MAOA and COMT enzymes to function. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is a cofactor for the MAOA enzyme. It helps metabolize dopamine for feelings of calm. The COMT enzyme requires magnesium to support the normal breakdown of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.^†

The normal metabolism of catecholamines and serotonin produces potentially toxic and stimulating byproducts, such as ammonia, DOPAL, DOPEGAL, and 5-HIAL. These can lead to uncomfortable side effects, trouble sleeping, and cellular damage.

Optimal Sleep II^† contains thiamin, zinc, and niacin. These are cofactors for the ALDH and ADH1B enzymes, which help break down the potentially harmful byproducts of catecholamine metabolism. The amino acid ornithine is included to support normal ammonia breakdown and clearance.^†

Glutamate is another stimulating brain neurotransmitter. High levels can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Optimal Sleep II^† includes nutrients needed to break down glutamate. Lithium, magnesium, and vitamin B6 also support production of the calming neurotransmitter, GABA.^†

A gentle serving of ashwagandha and phosphatidyl serine is included to support cortisol regulation. Healthy cortisol levels are essential for sleep initiation.^†

The targeted nutrients in Optimal Sleep II^† support healthy sleep onset for those occasional sleepless nights. It is ideal for those with slow MAOA and COMT gene and enzyme activity, which can be determined with the StrateGene^® Report . Rest assured with Optimal Sleep II^† by Seeking Health.^†
