Emergen-C Sleep Health is a product made by the company Alacer. It is specially formulated to help users sleep better at night and boost their energy levels during the day. Emergen-C Sleep Health comes in tablet form. The active ingredients in these tablets include the hormone melatonin, as well as vitamins B and C that are found in all Emergen-C products.
Melatonin
Emergen-C Sleep Health contains 1mg of melatonin, according to its Nutrition Facts label. Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced in the pineal gland of the brain that help regulate time and sleep-wake cycles in your body. Because melatonin aids in controlling your internal clock, supplementing the amount you already have with the amount contained in Emergen-C Sleep Health can help you sleep better. According to Mayo Clinic, taking oral melanin supplements can help both healthy people and people with sleep disorders such as insomnia. Melanin supplements can help you fall asleep faster and help you sleep longer.
Vitamin C
According to its label, each tablet of Emergen-C Sleep Health contains 1860mg of Vitamin C, in the forms of calcium ascorbate and magnesium ascorbate. This is 3,100 percent of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C, according to The University of Maryland Medical Center. Continuously consuming vitamin C is important because your body cannot produce it and also because your body excretes leftover amounts in your urine. Vitamin C has many important functions in your body. It is necessary for growing and repairing tissues, bones and cartilage, for healing wounds and for removing harmful free radicals from your system.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is another ingredient found in this Emergen-C Sleep Health tablets. Each tablet contains 12mg--which is equivalent to 600 percent of your recommended intake--in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride. As with vitamin C, B6 needs to be consumed regularly so that your body can maintain enough to perform necessary tasks. Vitamin B6 is crucial for helping your immune system fight infections well. The University of Maryland medical center states that it also aids with nerves and red blood cells, as well as the process of breaking down proteins.
