Sleep Stack for Athletes

In a Gallup survey, 33% of Americans reported that their sleep was fair or poor – and this includes athletes, who may experience even greater-than-average stress and its negative effects on sleep.

Two-thirds of athletes report trouble with sleep the night before a competition. An evaluation of professional hockey players showed the number of players who reported sleep disturbances doubled during the season compared to off-season.

In addition to fatigue and compromised performance the day following a poor night’s sleep, one study found student athletes who slept less than eight hours a night were twice as likely to suffer an injury.

Build a better sleep routine with the Sleep Stack for Athletes, a doctor-recommended combination of the clinically studied nutrients that promote restful sleep.

Thorne’s Sleep Stack for Athletes includes two products:

Melaton-3, which contains 3 mg of melatonin per capsule, helps maintain your normal sleep-wake cycle – your circadian rhythm. This is especially helpful if you have jet lag from traveling across time zones.

Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting action by decreasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, by improving the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.

Magnesium Bisglycinate is a lightly sweetened, well-tolerated powdered formula that promotes muscle relaxation and restful sleep. It’s an ideal formula for active individuals wanting to unwind.

The bisglycinate form of magnesium is one of the best absorbed forms of magnesium and is a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation because the magnesium is bound to glycine, a calming neurotransmitter.

Benefits of Thorne’s Sleep Stack for Athletes:

• Supports muscle relaxation
• Benefits restful sleep
• Helps regulate circadian rhythms that can be disrupted when exercising too close to bedtime or from jet lag, for example
• Supports mental and physical recovery during sleep

Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.

How to Use

Melaton-3: Take 1 capsule at bedtime.
Magnesium Bisglycinate: Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water daily.
