Description
It is recommended that adults get 7-9 hours of sleep a night for successful weight management and regulation of bodily functions. However, living a busy life can make it difficult to meet these recommendations, especially for those who struggle getting to sleep.
Sleep deprivation has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (hypertension), metabolic disorders (obesity and type 2 diabetes) and mental disorders (depression and anxiety) ¹. Findings also show that an insufficient amount of sleep may compromise the efficacy of fat loss by over 50% and result in greater muscle loss ². The evidence makes it very clear that an adequate amount of sleep should be a serious consideration when establishing an optimal recovery routine.
INCREASING SLEEP QUALITY AND TIME SPENT IN DEEP SLEEP
A number of ingredients used in OxySleep (Magnesium, Zinc, ZMA, 5-HTP, Passionflower, Lemon Balm, Valerian Root) have been added due to the potential effects on deep sleep regulation. Magnesium, a muscle relaxant and inducer of deep sleep, improves sleep efficiency, time and early morning awakening ³. In combination with Zinc, it has shown a remarkable improvement in sleep quality ⁴. Research also suggests that Passionflower can help treat anxiety, insomnia and some forms of pain due to potentially increasing the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a mood enhancing chemical ⁵
PROMOTING FAT LOSS
The Oxysleep formula not only induces sleep, but contains active ingredients (Green Tea Extract, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Raspberry Ketones, African Wild Mango, Theanine and Chromium) to promote fat burning. Conjugated Linoleic Acid has been found to reduce fat gain and inhibit fat conversion⁶, with studies also showing that Green Tea Extract increases fat oxidation at rest and during exercise ⁷.
OPTIMISING MUSCLE GAIN AND RECOVERY
The hypothalamus (section of the brain) triggers the growth hormone (GH) release during sleep, which plays an important role in enhancing muscle growth. Research suggests that Alpha-Hydroxy-Isocaproic Acid (HICA) decreases muscle protein breakdown and supplementation has shown to increase muscle mass and be effective in reducing delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) ⁸.
STAGES OF SLEEP
Did you know that sleep occurs in different rapid eye movement (REM) stages which cycle throughout the night and the time spent in each stage is important?
Stage 1: (non-REM) is a short period where the brain slows its wakefulness patterns.
Stage 2: (non-REM) occurs before a deep sleep and is when the heart rate slows and temperature drops.
Stage 3: (non-REM) is a period of deep sleep. It is considered the most important as this is where the body repairs and regrows tissues, bones and muscles, as well as strengthens the immune system.
REM sleep occurs roughly 90 minutes after falling asleep. This is where the heart rate and breathing increases and the brain becomes more active.
BENEFITS OF USING OXYSLEEP
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELING WELL-RESTED & REJUVENATED
Improve factors associated with hunger regulation (no more night time carb cravings) and experience better insulin sensitivity during the day thanks to better quality sleep. Unlike some of the other sleep formulas, OxySleep doesn’t make you drowsy the next day.
You might experience having easier time falling asleep when you do go to sleep – less restless nights that you have to struggle with.
SHRED & BURN
Stimulate faster metabolic function during sleep, which aids with repairing damaged muscle tissues as well as enhancing your total rate of fat loss. OxySleep includes ingredients such as L-Theanine, Green tea leaf extract (caffeine free) and African Mango to help in this.
TRAINING & EXERCISE
May help to improve your performance in the gym – you can experience improvements in both your strength output as well as your overall levels of muscular endurance as well as accelerated recovery between workout sessions
