Webinar Preview: Monteloeder by SuanNutra scooches in front of sleep and mood curve for wellness

02 May 2024 --- Observing the modern consumer’s growing need for natural sleep and mood-enhancing formulations, RelaxPLX was created by Monteloeder, a subsidiary of SuanNutra, from a product research and development journey that began 20 years ago to realize healthy lifestyle supplements from lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) extracts.

On Wednesday, May 8, the company presents its RelaxPLX webinar on this natural alternative with Nutrition Insight.

“The purpose behind developing RelaxPLX was to respond to the growing demand for natural alternatives to enhance mood and promote better sleep quality,” Jonathan Jones, CSO of Monteloeder by SuanNutra, tells us. “With consumers increasingly seeking scientifically backed ingredients for proven efficacy, our goal was to create a sleep and relaxation solution that not only improved sleep quality and reduced sleep onset latency but also addressed occasional stress, all while bolstering overall well-being.”

The aim was to understand the mechanism of action behind good sleep and how to support it. The formula has been shown to help reduce cortisol levels, which is a hormone associated with stress.

“Daily stress can cause restless nights. In this sense, our formula contributes to help manage daily stress and improve sleep quality, resulting in fewer interruptions and promoting deeper stages of sleep. This can ultimately help improve not only physical and mental recovery, but also emotional wellbeing,” he says.

It’s a lifestyle thing
RelaxPLX activates the GABA A receptor, enhancing its calming effects. This, in turn, promotes relaxation and facilitates improved sleep. With the popularity of functional foods, consumers now prioritize products that support their overall well-being, specifically physical, mental and emotional health.

“RelaxPLX plays a significant role in several lifestyle areas as it addresses real consumer needs in the areas of cognitive health, emotional well-being and sleep improvement,” says Jones.

“As the brain and cognitive health market continues to grow, consumers are increasingly looking for solutions to improve memory, stabilize mood, reduce stress and improve concentration. RelaxPLX aligns with these needs and offers a holistic approach to mental wellness.”

The supplement improves sleep quality, cognitive support, mood enhancement and increased energy. Quality sleep has been proven to impact the immune system and post-exercise recovery positively.RelaxPLX’s mechanism of action was recently validated in a recent clinical study.

“Quality sleep is crucial for immune function, helping the body to fight off illness and promote overall health. Adequate rest also contributes to effective post-exercise recovery, allowing muscles to repair and grow stronger. In this regard, RelaxPLX is an ideal complement to overall well-being by promoting restful sleep, thereby supporting immune health and facilitating optimal recovery after physical activity,” Jones continues.

Goodbye grogginess
RelaxPLX distinguishes itself from comparable products on the market with its non-drowsy formulation compared with conventional sleep aids. Essentially, it enhances the quality of one’s sleep without inducing grogginess or daytime drowsiness and brings about a feeling of alertness.

“RelaxPLX’s distinctiveness lies in its non-drowsy formula, its synergy with GABA A receptor activation and its incorporation of lemon verbena extracts and cortisol regulation. These features collectively position it as a leading sleep enhancer, providing consumers with a comprehensive solution to their sleep needs,” Jones underscores.

By increasing GABA A receptor sensitivity, RelaxPLX optimizes the calming effects of the neurotransmitter, thereby improving mood, reducing occasional stress and facilitating a good relationship between relaxation and sleep.

“In a market characterized by the demand for effective and diverse solutions, RelaxPLX is proving to be a highly relevant and compelling choice for today’s discerning consumer,” says Jones.

Recently, Nutrition Insight also spoke with experts from Gencor, Pharmactive, Lubrizol and SuanFarma to uncover the best products to provide relief for consumers actively seeking ways to ease tension and stress naturally, especially before bedtime.

Letting the science speak for itself
RelaxPLX’s mechanism of action stimulates the body’s melatonin production and activates the GABA A receptor. The recent clinical study validated the product once again for rehabilitating the natural and restorative sleep cycle.

Jones explains: “By regulating cortisol levels, it also helps reduce occasional stress, promoting a deeper and more rejuvenating sleep experience. This comprehensive approach ensures that users wake up feeling refreshed, relaxed and ready to take on the day.”

The key findings from recent studies on RelaxPLX highlight its efficacy as a comprehensive sleep solution. The research indicates a significant enhancement in sleep quality and efficiency, characterized by an increased sleep duration relative to the total time spent in bed.

“This improvement is complemented by reductions in sleep latency and nocturnal awakenings, facilitating a more restful sleep experience,” says Jones. “Furthermore, our forthcoming clinical trial has provided compelling evidence of RelaxPLX’s ability to stimulate the body’s melatonin production.”

This finding is noteworthy as it underscores the product’s ability to support a natural sleep-wake cycle and promote overall sleep quality. In addition, the findings align with the results of an earlier clinical study, which emphasized RelaxPLX’s positive impact on sleep quality, mood enhancement and overall well-being.
