What is Sleep Plex used for?

Sleep Plex is a liquid herbal medicine formulated to support relaxation, insomnia and improve sleep quality. It combines passionflower, skullcap, and ashwagandha, herbs traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to calm the nervous system and support healthy sleep patterns.

Whereas prescription and over-the-counter sleeping pills have side effects like the risk of tolerance and dependency (amongst more serious risks), herbal medicines, using herbs for better sleep, are considered generally safe by most people when taken in their recommended doses.

Who Sleep Plex May Help?

Sleep Plex is commonly used by people experiencing:

  • Difficulty falling asleep
  • Stress-related sleeplessness
  • Restless or interrupted sleep
  • Mild anxiety affecting sleep quality

Passionflower, scullcap leaf, and Ashwagandha root are common herbs used to reduce anxiety and stress and promote improved sleep. In Sleep Plex Herbal Medicine, we combine these herbs for better sleep to create an easy-to-take oral liquid that you can take on its own or mix with water or juice.

Sleep Plex is manufactured in Australia using high-quality herbal extracts and is supplied by PPC Herbs, a practitioner-focused herbal medicine provider.

Important Note

Sleep Plex should not be taken during pregnancy, as the passion flower it includes may induce uterine contractions. It should also be avoided whilst breastfeeding, as there is insufficient study as to the effects of the ingredients on breastfeeding mothers and infants.

Sleep Plex should also be avoided if you are using any type of sleep sedative (including barbiturates). It may also exacerbate blood glucose irregularity. Speak with your healthcare practitioner before taking Sleep Plex, especially if you suffer from a health condition or take medications. Also, exercise caution if operating heavy machinery.

Sleep Plex Herbal Medicine

Taking a dose of Sleep Plex herbal medicine before bedtime can help you to relax, fall asleep, and stay asleep for longer. Let’s look more closely at how Sleep Plex’s sleep-inducing herbs can enhance your sleep.

Sleep Plex Herbal Medicine

Passion Flower

Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) is a climbing vine native to Central and South America, and to the southeastern United States. It has purple and white flowers, and we know it well from the delicious passionfruits it produces. The flower has long been used in traditional medicine. It is thought to have a calming effect on the body, reducing feelings of anxiety and stress and assisting with sleep. It also, notably, has a pleasant flavour. (Each 5mL of Sleep Plex contains extract liquid equivalent to dry: Passion Flower herb, Passiflora incarnata 500 microlitres, equiv. dry 500mg.)

Skullcap Leaf

Skullcap leaf (Scutellaria lateriflora) is a plant in the mint family that is native to North America (it is often referred to as American scullcap). Scullcap is thought to act as a mild sedative, promoting a relaxed sleep. It is also said to reduce anxiety and boost mood, due to its ability to stimulate the neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which calms nerves. In addition, skullcap has been found to include antibacterial and antiviral effects, as well as possessing anti-inflammatory properties. (Each 5mL of Sleep Plex contains extract liquid equivalent to dry: Skullcap leaf, Scutellaria lateriflora 1.5mL, equiv. dry 1.5g.)

Ashwagandha root

Ashwagandha root, (Withania somnifera), has been used in traditional medicine to reduce stress, by reducing levels of cortisol in the blood. It is also believed to alleviate feelings of anxiety, and to stabilise mood. Studies have shown that it benefits sleep, helping those who take it to fall asleep more quickly, sleep for longer, and have better quality sleep. Like with skullcap leaf, taking Ashwagandha root is understood to interact with the brain’s GABA receptors, promoting calm and sleep. Also, the withanolides it contains serve to further reduce stress, which can often be a cause in insomnia. (Each 5mL of Sleep Plex contains extract liquid equivalent to dry: Ashwagandha root, Withania somnifera 1.5mL, equiv. dry 750mg.)
