CherryActive products are a rich source of natural melatonin – a naturally occurring antioxidant responsible for sleep-wake cycles. CherryActive products are ideal for individuals who are frequent flyers and want a natural solution to counteract the problem of jetlag.
CherryActive for Jet Lag
Jet lag happens when you cross over a number of time zones and disrupt the body's normal 'circadian' rhythms or 'biological clock'.
Your internal body clock controls when you are sleepy and when you are alert, as well as hunger, digestion, bowel habits, urine production, body temperature, secretion of hormones and blood pressure. This biological clock is normally synchronised with your local time so that you feel hungry in the morning and sleepy in the evening.
When you travel across time zones your body clock is disrupted which can lead to the ‘jet lag’ effect.
Symptoms of Jet Lag
Symptoms of jet lag vary from person to person and depend on the distance travelled and number of time zones crossed.
Symptoms may include:
- Disturbed sleep patterns
- feeling sleepy during the day, but not able to sleep at night
- Disrupted digestion and bowel habits
- Feeling disorientated and/or clumsy
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
- Lack of concentration/feeling less alert
- Memory problems
- Cold or flu-like symptoms
- Feeling weak and light-headed
- Lack of energy
CherryActive is a rich source of natural melatonin which has been shown to help improve and restore the body’s circadian rhythms and natural sleep patterns. Taking CherryActive Concentrate and Capsules can provide you with significant levels of melatonin and assist in alleviating the symptoms of jet lag by helping to restore your body’s circadian rhythms.
A study at the University of Texas Health Sciences Centre found that Montmorency cherries contain substantial amounts of melatonin, at levels higher than normally found in human blood. Montmorency cherries contain 13.5 nanograms (ng) of melatonin per gram. As well as helping to restore our circadian rhythms, studies suggest that melatonin may also help protect the vascular system, lessen inflammation, and reduce ischemia and reperfusion injury associated with surgery.
CherryActive Capsules are the most convenient and easy way to combat jet lag. They are light weight, can be carried in your handbag / hand luggage, and can be stored at room temperature – perfect for frequent flyers!
Use either CherryActive Concentrate or CherryActive Capsules to help alleviate your jet lag!
