Chamomile:
Chamomile has been used for centuries to help people relax and fall asleep. Some people drink chamomile tea every night before going to bed. Chamomile is an adaptogen, which means it helps your body respond to stressors. Studies have shown that chamomile's adaptogenic properties facilitate relaxation of the body. Some studies even show that chamomile affects neurotransmitters in the brain, helping you fall asleep and enter a deeper stage of sleep.

Hibiscus Powder:
The greatest ingredient in gluconite is hibiscus powder. 1,000mg of each 2,750mg scoop consists of hibiscus powder. Studies show that hibiscus has adaptogenic properties while potentially supporting blood sugar as well. Each serving of gluconite contains a significant dose of hibiscus to help you fall asleep while supporting your blood sugar during the night. Some people drink hibiscus tea every night for this reason. Others drink hibiscus tea throughout the day to support blood sugar while relaxing.
3
Melatonin:
Many people take melatonin every night to help them fall asleep. Your body produces melatonin naturally based on your circadian rhythm, which is your natural sleep-wake cycle. Studies show that taking 0.5mg to 10mg of melatonin can help you fall asleep by increasing your body's natural melatonin levels. Many flight attendants, shift workers, and other workers with unusual schedules will use melatonin to help them fall asleep and stay asleep. Each serving of Gluconite contains 3 mg of melatonin. It may not seem like a high dose, but it is a dose that will make many people feel sleepy.
4
GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid):
Gluconite contains a significant dose of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it blocks (inhibits) certain brain signals, decreasing activity in the nervous system. This is why many stress relievers, adaptogen supplements, and similar formulas contain GABA.
5
Tryptophan:
Gluconite contains another amino acid called tryptophan. This is the same amino acid found in turkey that is known to make you feel sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. Each serving of gluconite contains 150 mg of tryptophan. Studies show that tryptophan isn't just a placebo - it can really help you feel relaxed, similar to GABA and other adaptogen compounds.
6
White Willow Bark Extract:
Gluconite contains a significant dose of White Willow Bark Extract, which provides approximately 367 mg of White Willow Bark Extract per serving. White Willow Bark Extract, like other gluconite ingredients, has been used for centuries as a traditional sleep aid. The white willow bark extract contained in gluconite could help you fall asleep, feel more relaxed, and calm your nervous system, among other benefits.
7
Vitamins:
Gluconite contains four vitamins, including vitamins A, C, D, and K. Vitamins A and C are popular antioxidants found in any multivitamin. Vitamin D is essential for multiple bodily functions, including immune support and hormone production. Vitamin K is often added to vitamin D supplements to increase their absorption. The dosages of vitamins in gluconite are similar to what you might find in any average multivitamin.
8
Zinc:
Gluconite contains zinc, a popular mineral linked to the health and wellness functions of the whole body. Each serving of gluconite contains 5 mg of zinc, which is approximately 33% of the recommended dietary intake.
9
Chromium:
Gluconite contains 10 mcg of chromium, which is about 8% of the daily value. Chromium is commonly added to diabetes supplements because diabetics are often chromium deficient. However, with only 8% of the recommended daily intake, gluconite does not contain a significant dose of chromium compared to other diabetes supplements. The focus is on the other herbal and plant extracts in Gluconite.
Other herbal and plant extracts
Gluconite also contains small doses of hop flower powder, passion flower extract, stevia, and hop flower powder, among other ingredients.
Some sleep aids come in capsule form. Most capsules contain 400 mg to 800 mg of formula. However, gluconite comes in the form of a measuring cup - you mix 2,750 mg of powder with water (or the beverage of your choice), then drink it every night. Due to the larger portions, gluconite may have more potent effects than a traditional sleeping capsule or supplement.
