Kuala Lumpur, 2 April 2014 – Global and local statistics show that health and socio-logical sleep-related issues are on the rise, such as drivers falling asleep at the wheel1 and an increase in obesity- and stress-related hormones in people of all ages. These issues also contribute to a rising annual national health care cost.
Along with getting regular exercise and having a balanced diet, sleep makes up the third component of the ‘healthy body’ trifecta. While it is a general recommendation that we get 8 hours of sleep daily, getting “quality” sleep not only refers to logging in the minimum amount of sleep every night, but also how soundly we sleep. There are many bodily and mental benefits that we reap from a healthy sleep pattern; such as enabling organ regeneration, improving learning and emotional and social functioning when awake, as well as even contributing to factors that will make you live longer!
Rilax Zzz is Malaysia’s leading sleep supplement. Each capsule contains 150mg of milk protein hydrolysate or better known as Lactium, a naturally-occurring peptide found in milk protein that has relaxing and calming properties; and 50mg of L – Theanine, an amino acid found naturally in green tea leaves that promotes an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness.
Among the many scientific studies conducted on Lactium, one clinical study conducted in Tokyo and published in The Open Sleep Journal in 2009 showed the most impressive results. The study performed on 32 subjects with insomnia by a team of scientists from the Sleep Centre University Hospital of Geneva (Switzerland), the Laboratoire de NeuroSciences Comportementales (France) and the Ashikaga Institute of Technology (Japan), showed that Lactium helped a majority of participants to fall asleep faster, as well as significantly improve various aspects of sleep disorders.
L-theanine on the other hand showed an ability to initiate an alpha brain wave pattern that signifies a relaxed physical and mental state without drowsiness or impaired motor skills. The studies also confirmed that this ingredient improves the quality of sleep by allowing our mind to fully relax and recuperate. Subjects in the studies did not report feeling groggy and felt refreshed and alert upon waking.
Rilax Zzz has proven to be a safe and easily accessible solution: all-natural, and sold in leading pharmacies nationwide. A 2011 survey2 showed that 93 percent of users were “satisfied and continued taking Rilax Zzz”, and an impressive 98 percent would “recommend Rilax Zzz to their family and friends”.
At the recent 7th Malaysian Conference on Healthy Aging organized by the Malaysian Healthy Aging Society, Rilax Zzz participated as the only non-pharmaceutical brand sponsor and was featured as a remedy to sleep disorders. Presenting his talk entitled “Sleep Quality”, Neurologist and President of the Malaysian Healthy Aging Society Dr Lim Poh Hin mentioned Rilax Zzz as a “traditional remedy with anxiolytic (used to reduce anxiety) effects, that improves sleep quality without side effects”.
Taken an hour before bedtime, Rilax Zzz’s all natural ingredients work well to improve sleep quality, particularly for users experiencing stress-related symptoms of sleep disorders. Furthermore, the formula is safe, non-habit forming, has no side effects and does not cause grogginess before bed or after waking up.
