Info: 30 softgels (15 Day Supply)
If you're prone to stress-related insomnia and are reading this, you've probably tried a variety of supplements but haven't found one that works consistently for you. Chances are, most contained melatonin, which doesn't work for everyone, or they only had 1 or 2 ingredients, which might've worked better with additional ones with complementary or synergistic effects. That's why Platinum Naturals developed Quality Sleep: a melatonin-free formula which combines a clinically-proven source of Saffron with four other key nutrients to help relieve restlessness and improve restorative sleep.

Product Notes:
When it comes to natural sleeping aids, the first thing most people think of is melatonin (which of course is produced in our own bodies, but less so as we age).
Those supplements certainly have their place - particularly when travel or work schedules disrupts our normal circadian rhythm - but they can be ineffective or even counter-productive when too high of a dose or taken too late in the evening.
This new Quality Sleep formulation thus avoids melatonin altogether, and primarily features Affron® - a relatively new proprietary form of saffron that can significantly improve sleep quality within 4 weeks and may also help improve mood. It also includes three widely recognized natural sleep and/or relaxation aids with a calming influence: Chamomile, Passionflower, L-Theanine; plus a much lesser known one, Apigenin (a flavonoid found in chamomile and certain other plants), as well as a fair amount of flax seed oil (which appears to influence serotonin levels).
Collectively, these natural ingredients work together to help support all four aspects of quality sleep: latency (how quickly one falls asleep); continuity (how many times you wake up and fall back asleep); wake time after sleep onset (how many minutes you're awake after first falling asleep); and duration (total time asleep).
