Definitions
- the present invention is directed towards supplemental compositions containing melatonin and methods for improving sleep and relaxation in an individual.
- the regulation of sleep in humans is governed by three processes - each influenced by hormonal and environmental factors: a daily sleep- wake cycle influenced by a circadian rhythm (24 hour cycle) tied to light-dark cycles.
- the need for sleep is a biological drive similar to thirst or hunger.
- insomnia is estimated to affect a significant portion of the population every year and is associated with health problems and concomitant economic loss to society (Stoller MK. Economic effects of insomnia. Clin Ther. 1994 Sep-Oct;16(5):873-97 Abstract). It is clear that the impairment of sleep is detrimental to one's health. In humans, mild sleep deprivation results in indications of impaired immune system function (Irwin M, McClintick J, Costlow C, Fortner M, White J, Gillin JC. Partial night sleep deprivation reduces natural killer and cellular immune responses in humans. FASEB J. 1996 Apr;10(5):643-53.). Prolonged sleep deprivation is even known to result in death. It has been determined by many that an individual can survive longer without food than one can without sleep; thus indicating the importance of sleep.
- a supplemental composition comprising an effective amount of melatonin, an effective amount of an extract of lavender and an effective amount of an extract of Ferula to improve sleep and relaxation in an individual.
- the composition may be provided in a multi-compartmentalized capsule-based form to facilitate a controlled and sustained release of specific active ingredients in a specific sequence of release.
- the present invention is directed towards compositions and methods to improve sleep and relaxation.
- the composition comprises melatonin, lavender flower powder and Ferula.
- the composition comprises melatonin, lavender flower powder and Ferula in a multi- compartmentalized dosage form comprised of a plurality individual capsule-based compartments wherein each of the capsule-based compartments contains specific ingredients to a provide specific and controlled release of specific active ingredients in a predetermined sequence to facilitate the quality of sleep and relaxation in a mammal.
- the composition comprises melatonin, lavender flower powder and Ferula in a multi- compartmentalized dosage form comprised of a plurality of beadlets contained in a capsule dosage from wherein each of the beadlets contains specific ingredients to a provide specific and controlled release of specific active ingredients in a predetermined sequence to facilitate the quality of sleep and relaxation in a mammal.
- improvements in sleep may be both of a quantitative nature, e.g. increased length of sleep, decreased time of sleep onset, and of a qualitative nature e.g. deeper, more restful undisturbed and following an ideal pattern through the four known stages of sleep. It is further understood that improvements in sleep may also be both direct and indirect. For example, sleep will be directly improved by the administration of a substance which is known to reduce time to sleep onset. Sleep may be indirectly improved, for example, by the administration of a substance which is known to result in feelings of relaxation and calmness.
- unmodified-release' format is understood to be defined as pertaining to the dissolution and bioavailability profile of an ingested dietary ingredient wherein no additional modifications, be it chemical or physical, have been made to the ingredient with the specific intent to alter the dissolution or bioavailability profile from that of ingredient in a naturally occurring form. It is also understood that unmodified-release is, essentially, immediate-release of active ingredients. This is further understood to be traditional- or conventional-release format where no slow-, delayed- or extended-release effect is incorporated.
- controlled-release' format is understood to be defined as a formulation of active ingredients and appropriate excipients in a specific format to facilitate a controlled- or non-immediate-release of active ingredients.
- the components of a controlled-release format may have been subjected to additional modifications, be it chemical or physical, with the specific intent to alter the dissolution or bioavailability profile from that of ingredient in a naturally occurring form.
- the term 'slow-release' format is understood to be defined as a controlled-release format wherein the release of active ingredients are delayed for a period of time or gradually released over an extended period of time. This is accomplished through the use of specific excipients and may include structural features designed to facilitate controlled-release. It is further understood that a slow- release format releases active ingredients at a rate slower than immediate-release.
- delayed-release' format is understood to be defined essentially as a controlled-release format wherein the components of the delayed-release format have undergone specific modifications, be it physical or chemical, to facilitate the release of active ingredients at a specific time after ingestion. It is further understood that delayed-release formats, release active ingredients at a period of time later than unmodified release.
- the term 'quick-release' format is understood to be defined essentially as 'unmodified-release', as defined above. However, the term 'quick-release' may further include components having modifications, chemical or physical, to enhance the rate of dissolution or bioavailability of active ingredients.
- Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland and is derived from the amino acid tryptophan. While possibly being involved in multiple biological processes, melatonin has largely been studied for its involvement in sleep regulation (Karasek M, Winczyk K. Melatonin in humans. J Physiol Pharmacol. 2006 Nov;57 Suppl 5:19-39) with respect to the circadian rhythm cycle of an individual. Levels of melatonin cycle in the body based on lighting conditions - i.e. low melatonin levels during the day, higher levels at night. Typically, melatonin levels peak in the middle of the night and diminish thereafter.

- Transdermal absorption of the main constituent of lavender oil, linalool has been shown to reduce blood pressure and skin temperature in humans, evidencing a relaxing effect (Heuberger E, Redhammer S, Buchbauer G. Transdermal absorption of (-)-linalool induces autonomic deactivation but has no impact on ratings of well-being in humans. Neuropsychopharmacology. 2004 Oct;29(10):1925-32).

- Lactium® is a hydrolyzed milk peptide that has been used in stress management in adult females, and has demonstrated a protective effect on sleep during periods of mild chronic stress in mice (http://www.lactium.com/). The action is likely mediated via binding of this specific peptide, having the amino acid sequence of 91 Typ-Leu-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gln-Leu-Leu-Arg 100 in a benzodiazepine-like fashion (Lecouvev M, Frochot C, Miclo L, Orlewski P, Driou A, Linden G, Gaillard JL, Marraud M, Cung MT, Vanderesse R.
- the neurotransmitter GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter and one of its effects is to induce sleep. Signaling through the GABA-receptor changes the electrochemical gradient of the neuron, leading to activity inhibition.
- Benzodiazepines are thought to act via interaction with the GABA receptor; thus enhancing the inhibitory effects of GABA. As such, benzodiazepines are a widely used class of drugs primarily used as tranquilizers, muscle-relaxants, hypnotics or sedatives.

While catechins are generally associated with antioxidant activities, theanine is associated with anti-stress. In hypertensive rats, theanine lowers blood pressure (Yokogoshi H, Kato Y, Sagesaka YM, Takihara-Matsuura T, Kakuda T, Takeuchi N.
