Somnium
Panatonin™ Complex for Insomnia
Contents: 30 capsules
Storage: Store in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight
Metagenics Somnium combines a proprietary Panax notoginseng extract (Panatonin™) with an alpha-s1-casein
hydrosylate (LactiumPURE™) to encourage healthy sleep during exposure to chronic stress. There is an acknowledged
link between stress, anxiety and sleep - many patients who present with insomnia are adversely affected by stress
and/or anxiety. Panatonin™ and LactiumPURE™ are clinically trialled Natural Medicines that may aid in reducing the
effects of environmental stressors on sleep, improving the ability to fall asleep, duration of sleep, and quality
of sleep.
Each capsule contains:
Panax notoginseng leaf dry (Panatonin™) 4.5 g
Alpha-casozepine enriched hydrolysed milk protein (LactiumPURE™) 100 mg
Directions: Adults: For symptomatic relief of insomnia take 3 capsules with food 1/2 to 1 hour
before bed. As maintenance, for stress-related insomnia, take 1 capsule three times daily with food, or as advised
by your healthcare professional. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional.
Features:
• Improving sleep patterns: Panatonin™ is a proprietary Panax notoginseng extract that has been shown to assist in
management of insomnia. In a recent study, 90 subjects were given Panatonin™ daily and it was found that this
herbal extract effectively relieved symptoms of insomnia such as time to fall asleep, duration of uninterrupted
sleep and number of waking episodes (see Figures 1 to 4 below). These effects may be related to Panatonin's
balancing action on the nervous system.
• Managing anxiety that may be contributing to insomnia: Panax notoginseng has been traditionally used for
"quieting the mind" and may assist with healthy mental balance and relief of anxiety-related symptoms. Panatonin™
has been clinically proven to assist in management of symptoms of stress and anxiety. This herbal extract may
assist in the management of anxiety by regulating nutrient delivery to the central nervous system and regulating
neuronal excitatory and inhibitory actions.
• Managing stress-related symptoms that may be contributing to insomnia: LactiumPURE™ is a peptide formed from the
hydrolysis of alpha-s1-casein by the enzyme trypsin and has been shown to have calming effects. In a recent trial,
stress-induced sleep disturbances were prevented in animals given LactiumPURE™, with slow wave sleep being
maintained despite increases in environmental stressors. The effects of LactiumPURE™ on sleep during chronic stress
is believed to be mediated via modulation of the central adrenergic response.
Cautions:
• Contains ingredients derived from cow's milk.
• Not suitable for use in children under the age of twelve months, except on professional advice.
