What is Phytomelatonin?
Phytomelatonin is a naturally occurring phytonutrient found in Montmorency Tart Cherries and certain varieties of NZ Sweet Cherries, to support your body's regular and natural sleep pattern. Your sleep hormone (melatonin), is secreted by your brains pineal gland in small amounts as you wind down at the end of the day and prepare for sleep. As you drift off into your ‘light sleep’, more of your sleep hormone is secreted. Higher levels of melatonin us accreted when you reach your ‘deep sleep’ usually after two dash 3 hours of continuous sleep.
What is Tryptophan?
​
Tryptophan is an amino acid which is also naturally occurring in Montmorency Tart Cherries and certain varieties of NZ Sweet Cherries. When consumed at night, tryptophan has been shown to support healthy levels of serotonin and melatonin. Tryptophan and the molecules it producers influence many functions in the body, including sleep, mood and behavior.
What are Procyanidins?
​
Procyanidins B-2 phenolic compounds from plants which are abundant and true to use cherries. Research studies on procyanidins have shown they have many health benefits, especially in supporting repair of oxidative damage, healthy blood sugar levels, heart health and healthy cells.
Why Can't I Sleep?
I've tried everything - nothing seems to work!
Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don't get enough sleep. Insufficient sleep, or disruptions to the sleep dash wake cycle, cause fatigue, stress, depression, weight gain, poor concentration and eventually/possibly disease.

Did you know?
​
Even the light from a clock radio is enough light to signal the brain that daylight is coming, and slow down natural melatonin production, encouraging the waking up process. For quality and restorative sleep, we need to naturally produce enough of our sleep hormone (melatonin) throughout the night.
How does melatonin work?
Melatonin is essential to regulate the body circadian rhythms [body clock] for regular sleep patterns, waking up feeling refreshed. Melatonin is a hormone released by our brain and small amounts as we wind down at the end of the day. As we prepare for sleep and drift off into our apostrophe light sleep apostrophe, more melatonin is released. Higher levels of melatonin are released when we reach our apostrophe deep sleep apostrophe, usually after 2-3 hours of continuous sleep to produce enough of the important proteins.
Many of us don't reach our deep sleep state, waking before we reach it. When this happens our brain does not produce enough melatonin to allow us to sleep through until morning. Melatonin is only produced at significant levels when it is dark a dark room is imperative, as even tiny amounts of light reduce your body's melatonin production.
Uniquely New Zealand!
New Zealand’s scenic Central Otago has a unique fresh and clean micro-climate, perfect for growing
high potency cherries.
​
Certain varieties of cherries are carefully selected for high levels of naturally occurring
phytomelatonin.
Our proprietary in-house juice concentration process is cold at all times. This process
preserves the high quality and potency of the cherries, producing a raw juice that
contains four times the phytomelatonin of any other juice or concentrate available.

How much sleep do you need?
The Power of Sleep
​
According to the National Institutes of Health, babies, children and teens need more sleep than adults (who average between 7.5 to 9 hours).
Sleep requirements differ from one child to the next depending on age, physical activity levels and general health.
Primary School Children - need on average 10 -11 hours. Studies show that increasing your child’s sleep by as little as half an hour can dramatically improve school performance.
Teenagers - need on average almost the same as young children! Teenagers have an increased sleep requirement due to hormonal and lifestyle changes such as social engagements, peer pressure and early school starts.
There is evidence that around the time of becoming a teenager, there is often a shift in the sleep-wake cycle to becoming ‘sleepy’ later in the evening with a preference for waking later. This is often hormone related, and research shows that this pattern can be reset to a normal routine.

Did you know?
• Every Function of the Body is Impacted by Sleep
Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don’t get enough sleep. Insufficient sleep, or disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle, may cause fatigue, stress, depression, weight gain, poor concentration and skin conditions.
• Hormonal Balance
There are several factors which contribute to a quality sleep. For many women hormonal imbalance results in reduced production of melatonin. Many women tend to wake around 1am, 3am and/or 5am, and have difficulty getting back to sleep.

• Weight Management
Sleep supports a healthy appetite by supporting normal levels of the hormones ghrelin and leptin, which regulate your feelings of hunger and fullness. When we are sleep deprived, we may feel the need to eat more.
• Mood Fluctuations
Hormones are essentially responsible for all of your emotions. If you do not have enough sleep your hormones can make you feel moody, unhappy, frustrated, upset and subject to mood swings.
• Jet Lag
Jet lag is the result of disruption of the light/dark cycle that controls the body’s natural circadian rhythms, causing fatigue and difficulty sleeping – your body clock struggles to reset to the new time zone.
• Quality Sleep
If you are unable to fall asleep, or to stay asleep long enough to get a quality full nights sleep, it can make you feel permanently tired. One in three adults in New Zealand may have difficulty achieving a relaxing and quality sleep.
