Wyoming-based RMB Naturals was founded in 2015 by Cynthia Maida,\u00a0a 25-year veteran in the medical field. Maida struggled with the realities of aging—thinning hair, gaining weight, losing sleep, and more—and saw that she was not alone in experiencing these symptoms.\u00a0Armed with a deep understanding of women’s health and concerns, and bolstered by the fact that most dietary supplements she found were not to her liking, Maida started RMB Naturals with the intent to create allergy-friendly products with high quality ingredients. To make a long story short, RMB Naturals was founded to help women age gracefully and maintain optimum health so they can be there for the people they love, at their best, for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Unlike every other sleep aid that we’ve reviewed so far, RMB Naturals Restorative Sleep Formula is one of eight products\u00a0in a whole line that targets a female audience specifically. However, it seems like it’s mostly gendered marketing, as the none of the ingredients seem to be truly for women only. RMB Naturals Restorative Sleep Formula is the only sleep aid developed by the company; the other seven are focused on health and beauty, mood enhancement, and weight loss.<\/p>\n
RMB Naturals Restorative Sleep Formula is a powerful sleep aid that is also natural and \u00a0non-habit forming. Like many of its counterparts, there is a two-pronged approach: The sleep aid’s formula is designed to induce sleep, and also to keep you asleep for a longer period of time. Additionally, there is the promise of a great beginning to your day—no fog, no grogginess, no sleep hangover—upon waking up. Restorative Sleep Formula leaves your refreshed and energized, with overall wellness and your immune system at peak performance because of proper rest. However, this is not a long term solution; it is particularly noted that Restorative Sleep Formula is for dealing with occasional sleeplessness only. A specific mentioned\u00a0instance of possible use is to combat jet lag; the sleep aid will help you re-align and fix your sleep-wake cycle faster.<\/p>\n
It is important to remember that while RMB Naturals facilities are NSF-certified<\/a>\u00a0and pass cGMP standards<\/a>\u00a0set by the FDA, the dietary supplements that are manufactured there are still just that: supplementary. They may be potent, specialized, high quality, and even effective—but dietary supplements in general are not legally recognized as actual medication and you should not depend on them to cure or treat any disease or disorder by itself. Supplements may interact with medication or have unintended side effects, though; so it goes without saying that you should consult your physician before taking RMB Naturals Restorative Sleep Formula.<\/p>\n The seven components are GABA, L-Theanine, Magnesium, Melatonin,\u00a0Mucuna pruriens<\/em>, Phellodendron Root, and 5-HTP.<\/strong><\/p>\n RMB Naturals Restorative Sleep Formula is made up of fast-acting key ingredients, with each dose encased in a vegetable-based capsule. Overall the formulation is very much different from the typical all-natural sleep aid; noticeably absent is Valerian Root, as well as gentle and calming herbs like Chamomile and Lemon Balm.<\/p>\n Apart from Valerian Root, Melatonin is probably the most popular sleep aid component; in fact, both are sold as single-ingredient supplements. Melatonin helps you fall asleep because it is a hormone that regulates the body’s sleep-wake cycle.<\/p>\n Now let’s look at the three amino acids: GABA, L-Theanine, and 5-HTP. L-Theanine is not so unfamiliar; it’s actually what gives green tea its relaxing, stress-relieving and sleep-improving properties. Like Melatonin, GABA and 5-HTP are actually found in the human body; and work well together. GABA is responsible for the reduction of activity in certain brain cells, which results in a sedative effect coupled with anxiety relief; while 5-HTP aids in the production and maintenance of healthy levels of serotonin. We previously discussed the merits of both in a review of another sleep aid—ORB Sleep Complex<\/a>—containing the same two ingredients.<\/p>\n The function of Magnesium as a sleep aid ingredient has similarly been explained in a review of a different product—Nested Naturals LUNA<\/a>—that also contains it. RMB Naturals adds that Magnesium is actually essential when it comes to GABA activity.<\/p>\n That leaves the two most unusual additions to the formula:\u00a0Mucuna pruriens<\/em>\u00a0and Phellodendron Root. The former is also known as the Velvet Bean plant, and there is a long history of its varied uses in Ayurvedic Indian medicine. It’s also been studied<\/a> for its antioxidative properties and high concentrations of the amino acid L-DOPA; and though it’s not commonly thought of as a sleep remedy, the possibility has been explored<\/a>. The latter comes from Phellodendron amurense<\/em>,\u00a0also known as the Amur cork tree; like\u00a0Mucuna pruriens<\/em>, it is a staple folk remedy, but in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It has been studied<\/a>, but in tandem with another plant, and in relation to stress levels and not sleep.\u00a0Of note here is that in China it is the bark and not the root that is more often used. A pressed oil extracted from the fruit of the plant can also be\u00a0prescribed for a variety of ailments. Both ingredients are present in the formula, according to RMB Naturals, due to their natural positive mood enhancement properties.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/em>What\u2019s in It?<\/h3>\n
