Wake Up Feeling Rested and Refreshed with GNC’s Sleep Routine
The sleep Routine is designed to support your body's natural sleep cycle so you sleep well and wake up feeling recharged.
Chances are, you’ve probably experienced a poor night’s sleep sometime in the past month—and the next day wasn’t that fun. Sleep issues are relatively common and research estimates that sleep-related problems impact 50 to 70 million Americans, according to data from the American Sleep Apnea Association.

GNC’s Sleep Routine can help!  It’s designed to support your body's natural sleep cycle so you get a restful night's sleep and wake up feeling recharged. 

GNC Routines provide you with a grouping of expertly-curated products, geared to support whatever health habits you’re looking to start or maintain. Each is designed to set you up for future success – whether it’s time to tackle a new goal or level up.

Why Take GNC’s Sleep Routine?

Sleep. We all need it. And most of us want more of it. In 2014, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 35 percent of adults experience short sleep duration, which is defined as less than 7 hours per night.1 While a poor night’s sleep may leave you feeling drowsy the next morning, there can also be long-term health consequences. Insufficient sleep is associated with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.2 A lack of ZZZs can also impact your body’s ability to recover from exercise, which will only impede your fitness goals.

GNC’s Sleep Routine is designed to help you feel your best providing key ingredients and nutrients to help you relax, fall asleep faster, and stay asleep. In addition to these helpful products, don’t forget to make healthy lifestyle changes to improve sleep. Make sure you get regular exercise, and practice good sleep hygiene, like sleeping in a comfortable, dark, cool environment, staying on a consistent schedule, and avoiding electronic devices and caffeine before bedtime.

Primary Benefits of the Sleep Routine:

  • More restful sleep

  • Relaxation

  • Ability to manage stress

  • Increased energy levels

Other Benefits of the Sleep Routine:

  • Immune health: Science suggests that not getting enough sleep can have a negative impact on your immune system.

  • Better exercise recovery


What Is Included in the Sleep Routine?

The Sleep Routine is comprised of four supplements chosen by the experts at GNC. They are designed to support your body's natural sleep cycle so you get a restful night's sleep and wake up feeling recharged. In addition, make sure to follow a healthy lifestyle and good sleep hygiene. 

The Sleep Routine provides melatonin, a hormone that signals the body that it's time for sleep, relaxing botanicals and herbs, and magnesium and antioxidants for overall health and wellness.


Why Melatonin?

Regular sleeping patterns revolve around lightness and darkness—when the sun goes down and night approaches, your brain’s pineal gland starts to produce more melatonin, a hormone that makes you feel sleepy and ready for bed. Your brain decreases melatonin production as the morning approaches, helping you wake up and stay awake. But a hectic schedule—one that keeps you up late or wakes you up early—may throw off your sleeping clock and make it hard to get back on track. A melatonin supplement can offer a natural way to support restful sleep.

GNC Preventive Nutrition® Tri-Sleep™ features Triple-Layer Sleep Technology, which provides an immediate dose of ingredients for relaxation and restful sleep followed by a sustained release of ingredients to support calm sleep. 

The first layer of the innovative tablet helps you feel relaxed before bed, featuring Suntheanine®, clinically studied and shown to promote a sense of calm. 

The second layer is designed to help you fall asleep with 3mg of melatonin plus the sleepy botanical Valerian root.

The third layer of the tablet is released at a later time to help you sleep calmly with an additional 2mg of melatonin plus GABA, which plays a key role in the central nervous system.

Why Ashwagandha?

Withania somnifera, most commonly known as ashwagandha, is a shrub native to India, northern Africa, and the Middle East. The term somnifera means “sleep-inducing” in Latin, referring to ashwagandha’s potential calming and relaxing properties. While ashwagandha may be trending now, it’s been trusted for centuries to support a healthy response to stress.

GNC Herbal Plus Ashwagandha 600mg delivers science-backed benefits with clinical strength KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract.

Why Magnesium?

Magnesium is an important mineral that serves as a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems that regulate vital processes in the body3. Many folks take magnesium supplements as they believe it can help with sleep. While researchers are still trying to fully understand the connection between magnesium and sleep, we do know that low intake of magnesium is associated with fatigue.3 Magnesium has plenty of other health benefits to offer, such as strong bones and teeth, nerve and cell function, as well as energy production.

GNC Magnesium Powder provides 325mg of magnesium in one scoop, which is 77% of your daily needs. Adding Magnesium Powder to your favorite beverage is a delicious way to boost your Healthy Sleep Routine.


Why Turmeric?

Turmeric is a powerful spice that is part of the ginger family. In traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric curcumin has been used to support many health goals, including joint health. Research supports that active compounds found in turmeric, known as curcuminoids, provide antioxidant support. Antioxidants can help protect against harmful free radicals that can destroy healthy cells and promote the cell aging process. This is especially important because lack of sleep can cause your immune system to take a hit. 

Achy joints keep you up at night? Just another reason to reach for turmeric as research has shown the active compounds in the spice can support healthy joints.

GNC Herbal Plus® Turmeric Complex combines 100mg of turmeric root powder with 300mg of turmeric root extract. The extract portion provides the powerful punch of curcuminoids, the active compound found to be beneficial in turmeric.
