Research published in Nutrients showed that participants taking lemon balm experienced significant improvements in insomnia severity and increased slow-wave sleep, the deepest and most restorative stage of sleep. Even more impressive, 87% reported better sleep quality compared to just 30% who took a placebo. Lemon balm works by protecting GABA, your brain's primary calming neurotransmitter, while also preserving serotonin and dopamine levels that regulate mood. It supports your brain's ability to adapt to stress and reduces oxidative damage that disrupts sleep.
Combined with L-theanine for calm focus, saffron for mood support, and adaptogens to normalize stress hormone patterns, it addresses the root causes of tension and sleeplessness from multiple angles.
