These are the health benefits of each ingredient of Neka’s natural sleeping aid:
Romaine lettuce and watercress
Both vegetables are abundant in calcium and magnesium, which are extremely beneficial for relaxing tense muscles thus alleviating the process of falling asleep.
Celery
According to Neka, celery juice is packed in essential oils which are also beneficial for calming the nervous system thus helping the body to fall asleep faster.
Citrus – lemon and oranges
Citrus fruits are abundant in inositol, which can improve REM sleep. According to research, inositol can also calm anxiety.
