If I suffer from stress and sleeplessness, how can Melissa help me?

New Nordic's Melissa product is a unique formula combining ingredients noted for their rich historical use, and cutting edge current research. The driving factor behind its strength is its versatility in addressing the spectrum of concerns often accompanying stress. Sleep disturbance and digestive discomfort are often experienced in response to stress, and this formula helps to target each of those concerns.

Lemon balm has a long history of use, especially for stress-related changes in bowel habit; Chamomile and Magnesium are well-researched and safe natural relaxants; while L-Theanine, a substance extracted from green tea, helps promote feelings of tranquility, with some recent evidence pointing to a blood pressure lowering effect, yet another factor in overall stress management.

If sleep is most concerning, I recommend my patients take 2-3 tablets about 1 hour before bed; for anxiety and nervous digestion, I have found 1 tablet 3 times daily works well.
