For generations before and in the present mothers have told their children to drink a warm glass of milk before bed because it would help put them to sleep. Today the theory is being put to the test, and the outcome is to be highly regarded.

In America over 30% of percent experience chronic insomnia, while almost 60 million people experience difficulty falling asleep in a year’s time.  Health risks related to insomnia include chronically elevated levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), insulin resistance, and increased fat storage to greater risk of mortality from all causes, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.

In Europe the people use a proprietary set of bioactive peptides derived from milk, which have been identified to operate along the same neurological pathways as anti-anxiety drugs — without the side effects.

Milk peptides decrease the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, improve sleep efficiency, and increase daytime wakefulness. By improving several aspects of healthy sleep, milk peptides may offer protection against many health disorders associated with sleep deprivation.
