Summary

Tharos Laboratories, Inc. (TLI), a nutraceutical and phytochemical ingredient company, is committed to helping people get a good night’s sleep. In recognition of the National Sleep Foundation’s Sleep Awareness Week, Dr. Nikos Linardakis, physician-founder of the company, wants to educate the public about the importance of adequate sleep. “We’d like people to know that adequate sleep is critical to optimum functioning and even helps with staying young and weight control.” says Dr. Nikos. “We have learned that Mother Nature can help us rectify short-term sleep disturbances with natural products. For example, Tharos Laboratories makes a dietary sleep supplement that contains ingredients with proven sleep-enhancing properties—L-theanine, melatonin, and valerian root extract. These natural sleep aids can help you relax, fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed.”

Melatonin Regulates Sleep Cycles

Melatonin is a hormone released by the body's pineal gland to promote deep, calm sleep and keep the daily sleep cycle in tune. Natural melatonin production can be disrupted by long-distance travel, high levels of stress or erratic sleep hours.

Melatonin fights free radical damage and helps many people experience calming, deep sleep. It is often used to initiate a deep, calm sleep, and reduce nervousness, anxiety and jet lag. Studies show that melatonin can help establish normal cycles of sleep and wakefulness—even while traveling through different time zones.

Valerian Root and L-Theanine for a Calming Effect and Relaxation

Valerian root is an herb that has a relaxing effect on the nervous system. Valerian root has been used as a traditional medicine in many cultures, and valerian has been demonstrated to help promote deeper sleep.

L-Theanine, an amino acid, promotes relaxation by producing a mild calming effect, and reducing irritability.

NYTEX™ Natural Sleep Supplement: THE NATURAL SCIENCE OF SLEEP™

NYTEX™ is a new, natural sleep supplement produced by Tharos Laboratories, Inc. (TLI). NYTEX™ is the first sleep supplement that addresses all phases of the sleep cycle, including: relaxation, falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up refreshed.

NYTEX™ is physician-formulated, with a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to help calm irritation and restlessness at bedtime. NYTEX™ is unique because it contains PROCIDIN™, a powerful new antioxidant blend derived from wild blueberries and select grapes.

Antioxidants support the immune system and maintain health by fighting off the free radicals continually released through normal body processes. The PROCIDIN™ in NYTEX™, is unlike any other antioxidant on the market. It is extracted through patented, non-toxic processes from wild blueberries and select varieties of grapes to create a highly concentrated antioxidant blend.

NYTEX™ is available for purchase online at www.BuyNYTEX.com, through call centers (866-NYTEX-4-U), and at specialty retail stores nationwide. Dr. Nikos Linardakis, President, CEO and founder of TLI, is available to speak on various issues relating to sleep. (i.e. sleep and diet, sleep and weight gain, sleep and stress). To request NYTEX™ product samples, photos, and additional information, please contact Rachel Clementi.
