Schiff Knock-Out Melatonin with Theanine and Valerian — 50 Tabs

Supports Relaxation and Normal Sleep Patterns.

New, easier-to-swallow tablets. Schiff® Knock Out® is a combination of Melatonin, Valerian and Theanine.

Melatonin
is a metabolic hormone made in the pineal gland, retina, and
intestines. Melatonin is released into the blood stream by the pineal
gland (which resides in the brain) to set your body’s biological clock
and initiate sleep. Darkness stimulates the pineal gland and causes it
to produce more melatonin. Daylight stops your body’s production of
melatonin. Melatonin helps to promote healthy sleep patterns. Melatonin
also protects cells from free radical damage, and directs the release
of growth and sex hormones.

Theanine is believed to be the
primary component of green tea that provides a relaxing effect.
Theanine is an amino acid derivative of glutamine. Oral doses of 50 and
200 mg of theanine given to healthy volunteers promoted alpha brain
wave production. Alpha waves are associated with a calm mental state.
Theanine helps to induce a state of calm relaxation.

Valerian is
known for its calming effects, and also used as a sleep aid. GABA
(gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter
(message sender) in the brain. GABA plays a role in regulating
sleep-wake cycles, and is involved in initiation of sleep. Melatonin,
theanine and valerian extracts all interact with the GABA receptor.
