Two Natural OTC Sleep Aids That Also Support Emotional Well-Being

By Joni Kishkerden


Semper Sleep and Serenite-LT are two well known OTC sleep aids. Both of the products are made completely from all natural ingredients. Serenite-LT claims their product is vegetarian safe and is also lactose and gluten free.

Both OTC Sleep Aids were created with a similar purpose in mind: to induce sleep naturally, without pharmaceuticals, and also to support mood.

A former US Marine invented Semper Sleep, hence the name, from the Marines' motto "Semper Fidelis," a Latin phrase meaning "always faithful." He wanted a sleep aid that would not only help him sleep at night under extremely stressful conditions in which he worked different shifts and couldn't maintain a regular sleep cycle. He wanted the product to help him sleep without the assistance of prescription medications and also promote mental health and healthy emotions to aid him in his duties as a Marine. He needed to be alert, have a sharp memory, a healthy heart. He needed to feel physically refreshed and mentally balanced.

Serenite-LT tries to focus more on the emotional health of the individual by helping them maintain balanced levels of serotonin. The product will also help you achieve a regular sleep cycle.

The active ingredients in Semper Sleep are 2 mg of melatonin plus a proprietary blend, 1000mg of a mix of the following: Valerian root, hops flower, passion flower, GABA, chamomile, skullcap, and lemon balm.

We all produce melatonin naturally but some do not produce enough by themselves so taking a small amount will help induce sleep. Additionally melatonin will help with mood and support cognitive functions. Lemon Balm will help with stress and also supports mood. Both GABA and passion flower helps with anxiety while skullcap and chamomile helps to relieve stress and also helps with sleep. Hops flower and valerian root act as sedatives and are great for falling and staying asleep

Inside Serenite-LT you will find: St. John's Wort (also known as hypericum perforatum), calcium lactate, magnesium lactate, vitamin B6, wu-wei-zi (also known as schizandra chinesis), and magnesium stereate as an inactive ingredient.Vitamin B6 also helps to achieve restful sleep and supports the nervous system; people who are physically or emotionally stressed may not have enough of this vitamin. Wu-wei-zi, or schizandra chinesis, also helps the body to function under stress.St. John's Wort is believed to help the body to retain the correct amount of neurotransmitters which not only support healthy sleep, but also support a person's emotional outlook, mood, ability to concentrate, and even the libido. Calcium lactate and magnesium lactate both promote regular, healthy sleep.

Both of these OTC Sleep Aids are herbal sleep aids, although Serenite-LT also contains vitamin B6 and the minerals calcium lactate, magnesium lactate, and magnesium stereate.

As far as safety restrictions for these OTC Sleep Aids , the product information for Semper Sleep says that women who are pregnant or who are nursing should not take Semper Sleep. Product information for Serenite-LT says that Serenite-LT is safe for adults and children who are at least 12 years old.
