Several routes toward an evening wind-down. Valerian, passionflower, jujube, and hops combine traditional botanical use with the manufacturer's proposed GABA-related pathways. L-theanine adds an amino acid associated in its science discussion with relaxation.

Defined amounts in a compact serving. Two capsules provide the five ingredients in the table above. The formula is positioned for evening relaxation and temporary sleeplessness.

The proposed relaxation pathway. Ortho Molecular describes this blend in relation to GABA, a neurotransmitter involved in calming nervous-system activity. Its ingredient discussion proposes that valerian components can influence GABA signaling, while passionflower constituents may interact with GABA receptors. These proposed mechanisms help explain the formula's evening positioning; they are not proof of an effect in every user.

A complementary role for L-theanine. The manufacturer associates L-theanine with alpha brain-wave activity and perceived relaxation. Hops and jujube add botanicals traditionally used in relaxation preparations.

What the cited research evaluates. The manufacturer's discussion describes valerian, passionflower, and combined valerian–hops studies. The doses and combinations in those studies differ from this formula. They should not be presented as trials proving the complete Botanicalm PM product.

Suggested use: Take two capsules one hour before sleep, unless your healthcare professional recommends otherwise.

Caution: Do not use while pregnant or nursing. Consult your physician for further information.
