Sleep-TiteTM is advertised to contain: Valerian Root, Celery Extract, and Hops Strobile. Passion Flower, California poppy, Chamomile Flowers, Chinese Fu Ling Root Extract, Jujube Seed, Feverfew and Skullcap.

Sleep-TiteTM consists of a blend of multiple herbs that, claims the company, will help a person both achieve and sustain a good night’s sleep. One of them, California poppy, was traditionally used by Native Americans as a healing agent. People have also reportedly experienced a mild sedative effect from smoking it, though its effects are far milder than those of the Opium Poppy, which has a different chemical formulation.

Passion Flower, Valerian, and Skullcap are all herbs that are commonly included in supplements intended to encourage sleep. These herbs may help relieve insomnia a bit, but are mostly thought to have basic calming effects. They may also help ease muscle tension. Hops, Celery Seed and Chamomile, say the manufacturer, also impart a general calming effect and may help relax the stomach muscles. In addition to these calming herbs, Sleep-TiteTM also contains Feverfew, an herb that may help reduce inflammation, fever and migraine headaches by inhibiting the release of serotonin and prostaglandins, explains the website.

Sleep-TiteTM contains a particularly broad range of ingredients which, it claims, may promote restorative sleep and healthy sleep patterns, reduce muscle tension and joint inflammation, diminish occurrences of migraine headaches and boost both physical and emotional well-being.

We were encouraged by the customer testimonials included on the site, which is more informative than many of its competitors’, but would have liked to see some elaboration on the synergistic effects of this unusually large number of ingredients. How, for instance, is this formula superior to --or different from-- one with more potent dosages of fewer active ingredients?

• Claims to help prevent migraine
• Features a few customer reviews

• The ingredient Feverfew can sometimes exacerbate GI problems and mouth ulcers for some
• No free trial period offered to customers prior to purchase
• Chamomile should not be used by those sensitive to the Asteraceae family
• Site does not mention any specific studies or research

There does appear to be thoughtful and valid science behind the ingredients in Sleep-TiteTM, and the extensive variety of different herbal and holistic ingredients credited with calming, soothing qualities was intriguing. This complex mix does, however, increase the odds that a user might be sensitive to an ingredient in the formula, and we question whether the simultaneous effects of all of these ingredients was extensively studied—or whether it provides an edge over more streamlined formulations that suggest more focus and less “hodge-podge.” We were encouraged to see warnings clearly noted on the website, however.

We advise people looking to improve their state of mind to choose supplements with fewer—yet clearly understood—ingredients and delivery systems, like those that combine the natural mineral Lithium with a targeted mineral carrier called Orotate. This combination was designed to deliver benefits right to the brain, resulting in documented elevations in mood mental wellbeing.
