Valeriana officinalis and Humulus lupulus in history

Hops is a perennial vine native to temperate zones of North America, Europe and Asia, with a long history of use in North American indigenous medicine, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine systems. 2  

Valerian is a perennial plant native to subpolar Europe and Asia. The sedative effects of Valerian were first recognized over 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece. Its name is derived from the Latin word valere, which means “to be strong, be well”. Valerian is a flowering plant whose roots are used to make the extracts.3

 

Although Hops and Valerian have reported their own benefits, their synergistic combination has demonstrated significant benefit for the relief of sleeplessness.

 

The specialised combination of Ze 91019 used in ReDormin is well researched and has been the choice of millions of people worldwide.

Research on how Ze 91019 works

Sleep regulation is a complex area of study. There are two underlying cycles that are believed to constitute normal sleep structure:

  • Circadian rhythm, or more commonly known as your internal body clock, is responsible for your sleep/wake cycle. 8,9

  • Homeostatic process is responsible for maintaining a constant and balanced internal environment for your body that helps you to get to sleep and stay asleep throughout the night 8,9

Studies suggest that Ze 91019 can positively affect both cycles through its action on biochemical pathways in the body involving:

  • Melatonin, a hormone involved in regulating circadian sleep rhythms
  • Adenosine, a neurotransmitter that typically accumulates throughout waking periods that promotes sleep and inhibits arousal

The two extracts that make up the fixed extract of Ze 91019 are:

  • Ze 919 (extract from Humulus lupulus): studies suggest it may act on receptors for melatonin 9,10
  • Ze 911 (extract from Valeriana officinalis): studies suggest it may act on adenosine receptors, which can promote sleep onset by decreasing arousal
