Study to Assess Impact of Dietary Supplement on Sleep Health

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Single Center Pilot Study to Assess the Impact of Sleep Supplement on Sleep Health

Sleep is essential for health and wellness. Sleep disruption can occur due to emotional stress, advancing age, hormonal imbalance, medications, and many other causes, some of which are presently unknown. Most pharmaceutical sleep products artificially induce sedation without providing quality sleep. Thus, a need exists for safe dietary supplement to promote and support healthy sleep that will encourage restful sleep. This study will examine the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of sleep supplement as compared to a placebo.
