DR. JEFFREY TUCKER’S SLEEP BIOHACKS
Supplements for Quality Sleep and Good Health
If you haven’t tried Valerian (Get 10% OFF) in a while, try it again. It is good for resetting sleep onset time and helps maintain sleep throughout the night.
Magnesium (Get 10% OFF) improves sleep quality. A great product and source of magnesium as well as other minerals & factors to support the nervous system is Min-Chex (Get 10% OFF). It supports nervous system health and provides a moderate calmative effect that helps maintain emotional balance & eases the effects of temporary stress. A good regime is 3 capsules 1-2x daily before meals. Include one of your doses at or before bedtime.
Vitamin C is a vitamin that your body cannot produce on its own. You must get vitamin C from your diet. Vitamin C reduces sleep deprivation-induced cortisol release. Everyone talks about cortisol & melatonin for sleep but don’t dismiss good sources of vitamin C i.e., Brussel sprouts, broccoli, blueberries, lemon peel, green leafy vegetables, & turnip greens.
B Vitamins are critical to good health, healthy emotions, and quality sleep. B vitamins help regulate levels of tryptophan, a precursor to melatonin. Vitamin B6 is associated with inducing REM (dream) sleep. Low vitamin B12 can disrupt sleep. Vitamin B12 helps regulate the circadian rhythm to help support a healthy sleep schedule. Good sources of B vitamins are nutritional yeast, wheat germ, seafood, poultry, eggs, green leafy vegetables, and seeds.
A great product for its B vitamin is Cataplex G (Get 10% OFF). It supports nerve health and provides a calmative effect on the nervous system. It encourages healthy parasympathetic nerve function (the calming part of your autonomic nervous system). This product couples well with the Vagus Nerve Stimulator devices. Cataplex G also supports brain and nervous system function. A good protocol is 3 tablets 1-2x daily with one dose right at bedtime.
