SleepeesTM contains: Quencia(TM), a proprietary blend of herbs selected to work synergistically to help promote sleepiness.

SleepeesTM contains JuJue Date (Zizyphus Jujuba), a slight sedative which, according to traditional Chinese medicine, removed obstructions in energy flow. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus Senticocus) is an antioxidant that may play a role in improving memory; the manufacturer also claims that this ingredient is known to improve the body's ability to handle stress.

Also included is Reishi Mushroom (Ganaderma Lucidum), a Japanese botanical that may help regulate blood pressure and offer some relief to sufferers of chronic fatigue. It may also help mild anxiety. Red Sage, traditionally recognized by European herbalists as an ingredient for “calming the nerves” is often included in sleeping aids. And Mother-of-Pearl (Pteria Margaritifera), believed by traditional Chinese herbalists to calm the body by ridding the liver of toxins, is also in the formula.

SleepeesTM features an eclectic and intriguing formula that is largely based on traditional Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine. While it does include ingredients traditionally believed to clear the mind, reduce anxiety and encourage sleep, it also includes ingredients traditionally believed to stimulate the mind and reduce fatigue, which might strike some as somewhat contradictory in a remedy that bills itself as a sleep aid.

Consumers in the market for a natural, nonprescription supplement that’s somewhat less folkloric in its makeup would probably be better served by selecting a formula that is clearly aimed at easing anxiety and balancing mood and emotions.

Sleeping-aid supplements can be useful in improving alertness and in creating a positive outlook and a renewed capacity for dealing with stress. However, if a balanced state of mind is one’s primary goal, we advise honing in on that objective, using a natural, nonprescription supplement positioned as an alternative to prescription antidepressant medication. This is an ideal course of action for consumers seeking to help calm anxiety and achieve peace of mind safely but without side effects.

When shopping around, consumers should choose brands that offer a free trial period of their product –ideally for more than two or three weeks, which is sometimes as long as it takes for a supplement to fully, make its effects known. Another prudent step would be to look for supplements featuring gold-standard technology, like an advanced Micro Vortex Enteric Coating. Extensive customer testimonials are another positive sign.
