What is doxylamine and how does it work in low doses?
Doxylamine is a substance that was originally developed as an antihistamine, but is now also used as part of calming evening routines. In low doses, it is sometimes chosen by people who need an extra boost to end a busy day.
What is doxylamine?
Doxylamine belongs to the group of antihistamines. It works by temporarily inhibiting the effects of histamine – a natural substance in the body that supports alertness. This makes doxylamine a good fit for products that are intended to support the transition from active to calmer functioning.
Although doxylamine is only available on prescription in higher doses, it is also processed in a low dose of 5 mg in certain supplements. It is not a medicine then, but a supporting ingredient in a formula aimed at relaxation in the evening.
Why a low dose of 5 mg?
At Slaapberen we deliberately use a low dosage of 5 mg per gummy. This makes it suitable for adults who are looking for mild support. In low doses, doxylamine mainly helps to herald the moment of rest, without a heavy effect or dull feeling the next morning. This subtle approach makes the product suitable for short-term use within an evening ritual.
Combined with plant extracts
The power of our formula is not only in the dosage, but also in the combination. Doxylamine is supported by a mix of herbal extracts such as valerian, poppy, passion flower, orange blossom and hawthorn. These herbs have been used for centuries in traditional relaxation formulas, precisely because of their calming properties. Together they form a balanced combination that fits into a conscious lifestyle.
