Insomnia and sleeping disorders
More and more people are complaining of problems when it comes to falling asleep and staying asleep until morning. In today’s society, we struggle with new environmental influences which our ancestors did not know. The following influences have a negative effect on our sleep:
Radiation exposure (Wi-Fi, electricity etc.) in our apartments and especially in our bedroom
High exposure to flashing lights – from notebooks, tablets and mobile phones, especially in the hours just before going to sleep
An unbalanced diet
Too little exercise
Irregular sleeping habits
In the evening, we are exposed to a high level of media entertainment, even as we lie in bed. This results in our brain not being able to process the day’s events and activities.
A spring of truth shall flow from it: like a new star it shall scatter the darkness of ignorance, and cause a light heretofore unknown to shine amongst men.
Johannes Gutenberg
The sleep hormone, the feel-good hormone and tryptophan
In our intestine (and other places), our body produces serotonin and melatonin. These two substances are related, as melatonin is produced from serotonin by a special biosynthesis. The essential amino acid tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and melatonin. Melatonin is the well-known sleep hormone and serotonin is a neurotransmitter which has a positive influence on our mood via our central nervous system. Another function of serotonin is the regulation of wakefulness and sleep by controlling the release of melatonin. The hormone is released through the pineal gland (pituitary gland) in a controlled manner as it gets dark. The pineal gland can be hardened by fluorine or overdosed calcium and its function can thus be restricted. In the dark winter months, the melatonin level also remains elevated, which can lead to increased fatigue and winter depression. The effect of taking synthetic melatonin alone is highly controversial among experts.
In my experience, melatonin tablets only improve sleep when there is a proven melatonin deficiency. This deficiency can be determined with a simple saliva test. Natural melatonin, which is found in foods such as pistachios, cranberries, mushrooms, etc., can be better absorbed than synthetic melatonin. This level can easily be analysed by doing a blood test.
In cases of sleep disturbances, I recommend among other things, the intake of hydrolysed tryptophan which is quickly and easily ingested in a pre-digested form by most people. OH-tryptophan (hydroxytryptophan) is the direct precursor of melatonin and serotonin. It is significantly more effective than L-tryptophan, which occurs naturally in nature.

Calming breast milk
It has been scientifically proven that breast milk contains substances that have a calming effect on a baby. Scientists have been able to isolate these substances and have confirmed their effectiveness by means of scientific studies. We are talking about specially hydrolysed milk proteins, more precisely a peptide called α-casein. This is produced naturally via a special process. The effect of this peptide is comparable to the drug diazepam, which is used as a treatment against anxiety and sleep disorders. This hydrolysed milk protein (α-casein) is also suitable for milk allergy sufferers, as this hydrolysed form is well tolerated by most people.
For a good, calming effect in adults between 150mg to 300mg of α-casein is needed.
