Relaxaid PM (formerly Relaxaid II)

Description

BioSpec Relaxaid PM (formerly Relaxaid II) 

Promotes Relaxation and Sleep Quality 

Relaxaid PM provides an evidence-based combination of melatonin and standardized botanical extracts for improved mental calm, relaxation, and overall sleep quality.

Key Benefits and Features: 

• Sleep supports everyday cardiometabolic wellness: Consistent, restorative sleep helps maintain healthy blood sugar balance, blood pressure regulation, and overall metabolic function—key foundations for long-term wellness.
• Sleep quality influences mood and mental performance: Poor sleep can contribute to daytime irritability, lower stress resilience, and reduced focus and concentration, making it harder to stay sharp and productive.
• Sleep is essential for recovery and energy: Deep sleep is when the body prioritizes cellular repair and recovery, which can impact next-day energy, exercise recovery, and overall vitality.
• Sleep plays a role in immune resilience: Adequate sleep supports normal immune function and the body’s ability to respond appropriately to everyday stressors.
• Practical self-check: If you regularly wake unrefreshed, rely heavily on caffeine, or notice afternoon energy crashes, it may be worth prioritizing sleep routines (consistent bedtime, morning light exposure, and limiting late-night screens) as a foundational wellness step.

More Info. 

Relaxaid PM combines clinically studied botanicals and flavonoids—passionflower, ashwagandha, valerian, apigenin, and saffron—to help support a calm mind and a relaxed state, making it easier to unwind at bedtime. With melatonin (6 mg) to support healthy circadian rhythm signaling, it’s designed to promote a more restful night’s sleep and help you wake feeling refreshed—especially during times of occasional stress or sleeplessness.

Ingredient Highlights:

• Melatonin (6 mg) – Supports the onset of sleep and healthy sleep quality by engaging MT1/MT2 melatonin receptors to align circadian timing. Human meta-analyses show melatonin shortens sleep-onset latency and modestly increases total sleep time.
• Saffron extract (25 mg; ~0.3% safranal) – Supports subjective sleep quality, likely via serotonergic and GABAergic pathways associated with safranal/crocins. Recent randomized trials and reviews report improvements in validated sleep-quality scales in adults with poor sleep.
• Ashwagandha root extract (450 mg; 5% withanolides)
  Supports sleep quality and efficiency by promoting a healthy stress response (HPA-axis modulation) and calming GABAergic tone. Pooled RCT data show modest but significant improvements in sleep quality, latency, and efficiency versus placebo.
• Valerian root extract (400 mg; 0.8% valerenic acid)
  Supports relaxation and healthy sleep quality, plausibly through positive allosteric modulation of GABA-A receptors and inhibition of GABA breakdown.
• Passionflower extract (500 mg; 3.5% flavonoids)
  Promotes relaxation that can support subjective sleep quality, consistent with GABAergic pathway modulation observed preclinically. Small, double-blind human trials report improved self-rated sleep quality versus placebo.
• Apigenin (100 mg)
  Supports relaxation pathways by acting as a flavonoid modulator at GABA-A receptor sites (mechanistic evidence), which may help prepare the mind for sleep.
  

FAQs:

Who may benefit from Relaxaid PM?

Relaxaid PM may be a good fit for adults who occasionally have trouble winding down at night, want support for a calm mood and relaxation, or are looking to support healthy sleep quality and next-day refreshment as part of a consistent bedtime routine. Ingredients such as ashwagandha, valerian, passionflower, saffron extract, and melatonin have been studied for supporting sleep quality, relaxation, and sleep onset in various adult populations.

Not for everyone: If you are pregnant/nursing, under 18, or taking medications that affect sleep, mood, or sedation, consult your clinician before use.

How should I use Relaxaid PM?

• Take as directed on the Supplement Facts label, typically 30–60 minutes before bedtime (timing is especially relevant for melatonin).
• Use consistently as part of a routine: dim lights, limit screens, and keep bedtime/wake time steady—these habits complement the formula’s intent.
• Start on a night when you can evaluate your response (especially if you’re sensitive to supplements).
• Important: Because this formula contains melatonin, avoid taking it right before activities that require alertness (e.g., driving).

What can I expect when taking this product?

Most people use formulas like Relaxaid PM to support:

• Easier “mental off-ramp” at night (calm/relaxation support), and
• More restful sleep quality and better next-day refreshment, when paired with good sleep habits.

Possible side effects (vary by person): next-morning grogginess, vivid dreams, or drowsiness—especially if taken too late at night or if you’re sensitive to melatonin.

What 3rd party testing is performed to ensure quality and safety?

Identity & potency (make sure it is what it says it is):

• Raw material identity testing (e.g., HPTLC/HPLC where appropriate)
• Potency/standardization confirmation for botanicals (e.g., withanolides, valerenic acids, safranal) and melatonin assay (critical due to known market variability)

Purity & safety (make sure it’s clean):

• Heavy metals (ICP-MS; aligned to USP <233> / Prop 65 targets if applicable)
• Microbiology (TPC, yeast/mold; pathogen screens such as Salmonella/E. coli)
• Residual solvents (when applicable)
• Pesticides (commonly relevant for botanicals)
