Sleep

The Viva Saudável Sleep collection includes supplements from brands such as Thorne Research, NOW Foods, Life Extension, Quicksilver Nutrition, Klaire Labs, Ecogenetics, Suravitasan, and Zeinpharma. You'll find melatonin in capsules, sublingual tablets, and liposomal liquid forms, magnesium in various chemical forms, and formulas with plant extracts like valerian, passionflower, and chamomile.

What ingredients have authorized claims for Sleep

Only one ingredient in the European Union has an authorized claim directly related to falling asleep: melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep. The beneficial effect is obtained by consuming 1 mg shortly before bedtime — this is a condition of use that is part of the claim itself, not an accessory detail. Melatonin also has a second authorized claim, related to the alleviation of subjective feelings of jet lag, with 0.5 mg on the day before travel and on the first few days after arrival. Magnesium, present in several formulas in this collection, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

How to choose and what to consider

Sublingual and liquid formats exist for those who prefer not to swallow capsules. The collection also includes products with valerian, passionflower, chamomile, and L-theanine — ingredients whose claims are currently pending evaluation in the European Union and to which, therefore, no function is attributed here. If you have persistent sleep difficulties, speak to your doctor, as there are causes that supplementation cannot resolve. Do not take melatonin before driving or operating machinery.
