Description
Inositol is an essential B Vitamin. It promotes the body's production of lecithin, aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol. It also plays a role in the growth of hair, and the general health of vital organs, bone marrow and eye membranes. The body's Inositol levels are depleted by caffeine, sulfonamide and excess water; Inositol is found in lecithin, whole grains, citrus fruit, liver, brewers yeast, vegetables, blackstrap molasses and soy beans.
The B-Compound vitamins are probably thesingle most important set of factors needed for proper maintenance ofthe nervous system, proper functioning of the cell and its energymetabolism. Any kind of mental or physical stress as well as poor eatinghabits greatly increase the body's need for B Vitamins. Since B Vitaminsare water soluble they are not stored and must be supplied as the bodyneeds them, on a regular basis.

Any kind of mental or physical stress as well as poor eating habits greatly increase the body's need for B Vitamins. With this being said, I would not recommend Inositol to help with your wife's trouble with sleeping. However, we do carry several products that would be wonderful remedies to try for this condition!
Passion Flower is the preferred herb for treating insomnia and effectively treats depression, headache, stress and anxiety, insomnia and much more. Passion Flower's gentle sedative properties produce a relaxing effect, reducing nervous over-activity and panic, and making it a mild and non-addictive herbal tranquilizer.
Valerian Root effectively relieves sleeplessness, nervousness and edginess due to overwork, stress or fatigue. Like many botanicals, valerian has a long history. Named the 'Valium of the 19th century,' although chemically unrelated to Valium, is recognized worldwide for the relaxing effect it has on the body. Often, in Europe, it is prescribed to treat anxiety. Valerian does not taste very good, but it has few unpleasant side effects and is not addictive, unlike prescription drugs in the United States such as Valium and Xanax.
Lemon Balm is used for treating gas, colic, nerve pain, insomnia, heart problems and much more. Lemon balm is frequently combined with other medicinal plants. For example, peppermint and lemon balm together are effective for calming upset stomach. Valerian is often combined with lemon balm for insomnia and nerve pain.
Insomnia Formula is manufactured by TerraVita and is a blend containing Passion Flower, Valerian and Lemon Balm that is specifically designed to help with conditions of Insomnia. It is available in capsule, powder, loose tea and tea bag formats for your convenience!
