Thorne, Deep Sleep Complex Multi-Phase Cycle Support, 60 Caps

Thorne’s Deep Sleep Complex is a melatonin-free, non-habit-forming formula designed to quiet a busy mind and support deeper, more restorative sleep with regular nightly use. It combines Maizinol®, a standardized corn leaf extract that has been clinically studied to support all phases of the sleep cycle, with L-theanine and chamomile extract to promote relaxation at bedtime and help you wake up feeling refreshed, without next-day grogginess.

Why is quality sleep important?

A wealth of research is amassing on the importance of sleep for overall good health. Emerging evidence points to links between a good night’s sleep and support for many aspects of good health, ranging from cognitive benefits to healthy weight management.

But what does good sleep really mean? It’s more than just falling asleep easily or getting a requisite number of hours of sleep. Quality sleep is essential.

Quality sleep means you have good sleep architecture – that you cycle through each of the stages of sleep several times each night.

The ingredients in Deep Sleep Complex have been shown in clinical studies to support both REM and non-REM sleep.

FAQ

Is Deep Sleep Complex right for me?

Deep Sleep Complex is ideal for individuals who occasionally struggle to fall asleep due to stress, a racing mind, or elevated evening cortisol levels. It can also support those who sometimes wake up during the night, as well as older adults whose natural melatonin levels may decline with age. Overall, it’s designed to help promote more restful sleep so you wake up feeling refreshed, without feeling groggy.* As with any supplement, it’s best to discuss with your health-care provider to determine whether this product is appropriate for your individual needs and goals.

What testing does Thorne complete for Deep Sleep Complex?

We test each ingredient in Deep Sleep Complex for identity, purity, and potency to ensure every ingredient and finished product meet our strict quality standards at the time of manufacture and up to the product’s expiration date. This includes checking for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes. The NSF Contents Certified mark indicates that it has been third-party tested and certified according to strict standards for quality, safety, and label claims.

Will Deep Sleep Complex make me feel drowsy the next morning? 

Deep Sleep Complex is designed to help you avoid feeling groggy in the mornings.*

Can I take Deep Sleep Complex with melatonin or other sleep support products?

Deep Sleep Complex contains Maizinol® extract from young green corn shoots that is standardized to contain 0.2% 6-MBOA, a naturally occurring compound similar to melatonin. While there are no known contraindications/interactions with taking Deep Sleep Complex along with other sleep support products such as melatonin, it’s best to check with your health-care provider before combining them, especially if taking prescription medications.

Will Deep Sleep Complex improve my sleep quality?

Deep Sleep Complex improves sleep quality and sleep architecture by normalizing the sleep phases.*

How does Maizinol® compare to melatonin or GABA?

Melatonin is a hormone naturally made by your body that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. GABA is a calming neurotransmitter that modulates brain wave activity during times of stress; it may help with sleep by reducing excitatory brain signals. Maizinol is a patented, non-hormonal botanical sleep support ingredient that acts similarly to melatonin in the body. Instead of supplying melatonin directly, Maizinol contains plant-derived compounds that interact with melatonin receptors in the brain, producing melatonin-like effects to support better sleep, without introducing extra hormones into the body.*

Should this product be avoided if an individual has an allergy or sensitivity to corn?

For people with a known corn allergy, consult with an allergist before consuming this product. However, Maizinol is not believed to present a risk. People with a corn allergy typically react to proteins found in the corn kernel, not the leaves. Corn allergy is caused by the immune system mistakenly reacting against proteins in corn (like zein, a major corn protein). Unlike the corn kernel, the leaf of the corn plant does not usually contain the same allergens in significant amounts as the kernel, so most people with a corn allergy won’t react to the leaf itself.
