Forsen® is a dietary supplement containing a complex of natural ingredients that help you to achieve a state of relaxation and calmness of the body, facilitating sleep and improving its quality, which is crucial for the regeneration and proper functioning of the body.

When sleep is a problem…

The occurrence of insomnia is significant; in Poland – according to research – the problem affects approx. 10 percent of the population. Periodic sleep problems are found in 40-50% of adult population. Stress, hectic lifestyle, career or personal problems – these are the main causes of sleep disorders. They may involve difficulties in falling asleep, maintaining sleep or premature waking. These disorders may result in significantly lowered mood and impaired functioning during the day.

What does Forsen® contain and how does it affect sleep?

Sleep and wakefulness are controlled by dynamic interactions between many regions of the central nervous system (CNS) as well as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators involved in the regulation of these interactions.

Forsen® is a complex combined of natural ingredients – plant extracts (common oat, melissa, common hop and saffron), L-theanine, L-tryptophan, GABA, magnesium, and certain B-group vitamins.

Research has shown that:

• Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) – affects the metabolism of neurotransmitters showing soothing influence on nervous tension, which is one of the main causes of sleep difficulties;

• Hop cones – show calming effect, thus promoting sleep and improving its quality and continuity;

• Saffron (Crocus sativus) – the two main active substances of saffron – safranal and crocin – increase the amount of neurotransmitters in brain, such as serotonin, which plays an important role in regulation of sleep/wake cycle, enabling healthy and calm sleep. The correct level of the substance, called ‘happy hormone’, affects mood and shows natural antidepressant properties;

• L- theanine – an amino acid affecting brain function. It increases generation of alpha-waves by the brain, which indicate the decrease in brain activity and preparation for sleep phase;

• L-tryptophan – metabolic precursor to serotonin; the “happy hormone” is produced from it;

• gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) - is an amino acid and inhibitory neurotransmitter – it generates inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which blocks the excitability of neurons, thereby contributes to the promotion of natural, physiological sleep;

• Niacin – in case of too little dietary supply it is synthesized from L-tryptophan. As a result there is a decrease in the tryptophan pool, from which serotonin (regulating sleep cycle) is produced;

• B6 vitamin – it takes part in the synthesis of many enzymes, hormones and hemoglobin. It is essential for magnesium metabolism and promotes its absorption. It also presents pharmacological synergism with tryptophan, participating in serotonin production;

• Magnesium – essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
