Anesthesiologists know how to knock you out in an instant, but one has come up with a more “natural” way to do it on a nightly basis.
Dr. David Mahjoubi, a board-certified anesthesiologist, used his expertise — including as a doc at a ketamine clinic — to formulate Sleepinox’s Natural Sleep Supplement , which promises not only to improve your sleep but to strengthen your immune system and enhance your cognitive function , too. Twelve percent of Americans report being diagnosed with chronic insomnia. “Being the medical director and owner of the Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles & Orange County , I have a lot of patients who I treat for anxiety and depression,” Mahjoubi told The Post on Wednesday.
“I have patients who are on prescription-strength psychotropic medications like Ambien … things that, over time, over the long run, are not super healthy for the brain ,” he continued. “After I saw patients on these substances, I decided I needed to create something that was natural and effective.”
Mahjoubi launched Sleepinox about three years ago and introduced a new formula earlier this year. What’s in it?
The new version contains magnesium glycinate instead of magnesium oxide and higher concentrations of valerian root and ashwagandha , Mahjoubi said. Sleepinox also boasts borage oil and L-theanine .
Magnesium glycinate — a combination of magnesium, a mineral known for its relaxing properties, and glycine, an amino acid that helps regulate mood — is supposed to calm the nervous system and encourage deep rest.
Valerian root has been touted as an herbal insomnia treatment since the times of ancient Greece and Rome, while ashwagandha has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety .
Borage oil, which stems from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant, has been used to combat anxiety and inflammation. And finally, L-theanine is said to help ease anxiety, stress and insomnia.
