General – Why sleep is important
Sleep is an essential part of regeneration – for both the body and the mind. Especially in a sporting context, it plays a decisive role in performance, recovery, muscle building and mental well-being. During sleep, the body undergoes important repair and adaptation processes: growth hormones are released, hormone levels are regulated and cognitive functions stabilise. Restless or insufficient sleep, on the other hand, can disrupt training adaptation, impair concentration and reduce resilience in the long term.
Many athletes and active people are familiar with the problem: difficulty falling asleep, restless sleep or waking up early – caused by stress, screen time, irregular rhythms or travel. This is exactly where ESN Sleep comes in.
Why ESN Sleep
ESN Sleep is an evening supplement for athletes, frequent exercisers, professionals and anyone who wants to consciously regenerate. The product is available in two versions: one with melatonin and one without – ideal for individual needs and preferences. The formulation is based on a variety of synergistically balanced ingredients: amino acids, plant extracts, minerals and bioactive nutrients. The aim is to support the natural process of falling asleep and promote night-time recovery in a gentle, non-sedative way.
Benefits Sleep – in 2 versions
ESN Sleep has been developed as a holistic evening supplement that addresses several physiological levels simultaneously – without pharmacological intervention and based on a sensible combination of ingredients. The formula is based on four targeted areas of action that are based on the body's natural regulatory mechanisms and complement each other effectively.
A key element – exclusively in the version with melatonin – is the support of the sleep process via the body's own hormone melatonin. This regulates the day-night rhythm and signals to the body when it is time to rest. Just 1 mg of melatonin has been scientifically proven to help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep – an effect that is particularly relevant for people suffering from jet lag, shift work or irregular sleep patterns. Important: Melatonin does not have a sedative effect, but simply enhances the body's natural readiness to fall asleep.
In addition, ESN Sleep relies on neurotransmitter and hormone precursors that promote the body's own sleep-wake regulation process. L-tryptophan and 5-HTP (from Griffonia) serve as building blocks for the formation of serotonin – a messenger substance that not only has a mood-stabilising effect, but is also converted into melatonin in the body. This process is supported by vitamin B6, which plays a central role in the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin. This combination aims to promote sleep regulation from within, i.e. via the body's own metabolic pathways.
A third focus is on the supply of essential minerals that play a role in the nervous system and muscle relaxation. According to health claims, magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6 contribute to normal nervous system function. Magnesium bisglycinate, the form used here, is considered particularly bioavailable and stomach-friendly. It not only supports nerve transmission but also muscle relaxation, which helps many people to relax physically.
The formula is rounded off with herbal relaxation aids and amino acids. Passion flower and valerian root are traditionally known plant substances that have a calming effect and can influence the GABA system. L-theanine from green tea has been proven to promote alpha brain waves, which are associated with relaxed attention – a state that is ideal for falling asleep. This is complemented by myo-inositol, known for its nerve-calming properties, and L-glycine, which has been linked to improved sleep quality and reduced sleep onset time in studies.
With these four areas of action, ESN Sleep offers comprehensive support for your evening routine – without any artificial sedatives, but with proven ingredients that work with your body's natural rhythms.
Conclusion
ESN Sleep is a well-designed evening supplement for anyone who values restful sleep and lasting regeneration – whether in competitive sports, stressful everyday life or after a hard day. The combination of proven amino acids, plant extracts, minerals and – in the appropriate version – melatonin offers a gentle way to support the natural process of falling asleep. No habituation effect, no stimulating substances – suitable for everyday use, vegan and with a pleasant berry flavour.
