Sleep Tite includes the following ingredients: European Valerian Root 4:1 extract, Celery Seed 4:1 Extract, Hops Strobile 4:1 extract, Passion Flower 4:1 extract (whole plant), California Poppy 5:1 extract (aerial parts), Chamomile Flower 5:1 extract, Chinese Fu Ling 5:1 extract (Poria Cocos), Kava Kava Root 5:1 Extract, Feverfew 5:1 extract (aerial parts), Skullcap (aerial parts), Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Stearic Acid, Silica, Magnesium Stearate and Sugar Coat (calcium sulfate, sucrose, kaolin, talc, gelatin, shellac, titanium dioxide, anise oil, beeswax and carnauba wax).

Effectiveness of Sleep Tite

Sleep Tite is a mixture of 10 different highly effective, all-natural herbal extracts. Passionflower, Kava Kava, California Poppy, Valerian Root and Skullcap have been used for centuries as a remedy for insomnia due to their strong sedative properties.

Celery seed and Hops are believed to produce a generalized calming effect. These two plants are commonly used to support a proper digestion and to promote gastrointestinal and smooth muscle relaxation.

Chamomile is commonly used to “fight” daily stress. This plant, just like the ones from above, is known for its calming properties, but with the added benefit of producing anti-inflammatory effects on joints.
While all these herbs are well tolerated, we have to admit that Kava Kava extract troubles us. This plant has proven to be effective but in large quantities can also be toxic. Furthermore, the use of Kava Kava has been associated with several unwanted side effects.
Sleep Tite is not recommended for children, pregnant women or nursing women. It is advised to talk with your doctor before using this formula. Do not take this product if using Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI). Sleep Tite has been associated with several side effects, including drowsiness.

Sleep Tite Price

A box of Sleep Tite consists of 28 packets, each one containing two pills. Individuals using this particular sleep aid are encouraged to start out with one pill. One bottle of Sleep Tite should be enough for up to one month of treatment.

Compared to other similar products, Sleep Tite is a relatively expensive sleep aid. The product can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or several online retailers.

Does Sleep Tite Work?

Sleep Tite is claimed to be a non-addicting herbal sleep aid specially created to promote a deeper, more restorative sleep without using prescription drugs or synthesized hormones. The formula appears to contain the right ingredients, but we feel like more research is needed to prove its Effectiveness.

While many consumers have found relief in using various herbal extracts for insomnia and other sleep related problems, it is important to point out that not each is the same. Patients require different dosages and different concentrations of the same product. Finding these exact levels is a difficult task.
