Transcription

What do you choose for sleep?

>> Yeah, my favorite sleep cocktail based on really good solid peer-reviewed science is magnesium threonate. It's t h r e o n a t e, threonate.

>> [music]

>> And something called apigenin, a p i g e n i n, which is basically a derivative of chamomile. Those two things work really well to. They essentially shut down the forebrain thinking, anticipating part of your brain, allow you to drift off into sleep really well.

>> Ah, I need that all day then if I could shut that down.

>> Yeah. Well, and then theanine is also the is the third thing in the cocktail.

>> Is theanine that is also a nootropic?

>> So, theanine also turns on what's [music] called the GABA system. It's like an inhibitory neurotransmitter and it helps suppress anxiety and kind of turn off thinking. It helps you make the transition into sleep. And sleep is obviously good, but it's always.

>> Uh these are a game-changer. I'll be amazed if it doesn't help.
