Jarrow Formulas Melatonin Sustain -- 120 Sustained Release Tablets

Manufacturer:
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that aids biorhythm regulation. Biorhythm is disturbed by stress, crossing time zones and changing work shifts. Melatonin production also declines with age. Vitamin B6 aids melatonin metabolism.

The Environmental Illness Resource:
Melatonin is a hormone released by the pineal gland in the brain when light levels drop at night. The release of melatonin stimulates healthy sleep. In environmental illnesses however there is known to be endocrine disturbances that may affect the normal release of melatonin. Supplements are a cheap and effective way to increase melatonin levels and induce healthy sleep patterns. Melatonin supplements are highly effective and typically work very quickly. This time release formula may increase effectiveness even further.

N.B. Beware high dosage supplements. They are generally not needed and may be harmful long term.

Jarrow Formulas 5-HTP -- 100mg - 60 Capsules

Manufacturer:
Supports Serotonin Synthesis Jarrow Formulas 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an extract of Griffonia simplicifolia seeds from coastal West Africa. Purity is assured by HPLC. 5-HTP is the direct metabolic precursor of serotonin and is important for the production of melatonin.

The Environmental Illness Resource:
5-HTP's action on serotonin levels has widespread benefits. Multiple studies have demonstrated its success in treating depression and anxiety. The results show that this supplement is as effective as conventional anti-depressant drugs. 5-HTP also helps with sleep whether depression and/or anxiety are also present or not. Our own experience and that of others has also shown that serotonin increasing measures, including 5-HTP supplements, can significantly reduce the severity of reactions to chemicals in those with MCS.

Restoration of a healthy sleep pattern is key to recover from these illnesses according to many leading authorities. Valerian can be very effective at achieving this and unlike pharmaceutical sleep aids there is no risk of addiction or any other undesirable side effects.

Source Naturals Coral Calcium with Magnesium -- 90 Tabs

Manufacturer:
Source Naturals Coral Calcium/ Magnesium contains a higher level of magnesium than the original Coral Calcium to provide the important alkaline minerals, calcium and magnesium, in a 2:1 ratio, as well as other trace minerals. An initial study on an alkaline mineral blend demonstrated an increase in blood alkalinity (pH) and buffering capacity. Proper alkalinity (pH) of the blood is critical for the overall health of the body. Source Naturals Coral calcium/ Magnesium is eco-friendly: it is harvested in Okinawa, Japan from fossilized (dead) coral and is not harmful to living coral.

The Environmental Illness Resource:
Calcium has a sedative effect on the body. A calcium deficiency in the body causes restlessness and wakefulness. Magnesium, in doses of approximately 250-500 milligrams, can help induce sleep. Magnesium deficiency is responsible for nervousness that prevents sleep. Many nutritionists recommended calcium and magnesium supplements in a ratio of 2:1 to help induce restful sleep. The minerals in this formula are in a highly absorbable form and a dosage of 2 tablets before bedtime could help you get off to sleep and maintain healthy sleep during the night.
