Product Review

Seditol® is a blend of patented Magnolia officinalis extract and a proprietary extract of Ziziphus jujuba. Both extracts have been used traditionally in China for centuries. Studies have revealed that magnolia bark extract and jujube seed extract help moderate central nervous system activity, promoting muscle and overall relaxation as well as supporting optimal sleeping time. Research has indicated that magnolia extract has a calming effect and helps reduce occasional tension in part by binding to adenosine and GABA receptors. In addition, animal studies suggest that magnolia extract may promote positive mood and calm occasional physical and emotional stress. A study involving 50 individuals indicated that Seditol encouraged sleep and relaxation. Another study involving 45 people revealed similar results and also reported support for daytime energy levels. Moreover, Seditol has the potential to provide weight management support, based on recent research suggesting that reduced amounts of sleep are associated with increased weight. Additionally, a randomized crossover clinical trial found that unrestful sleep was associated with increased hunger and decreased levels of the satiety hormone leptin.*
