Find your calm: a natural way to sleep better and feel revitalized

It is a truth universally acknowledged that most of us are tired all the time.

In fact, we hear friends, family and colleagues complain about their fatigue so often that it can be easy to forget that it’s not actually inevitable.

It is recommended that adults up to age 64 need 7-9 hours of sleep per night, but according to Mental health care Great Britain almost 1 in 5 people in Britain don’t get enough sleep.

Staying positive can be a challenge when we’re tired, leaving us feeling more stressed or anxious than usual. Combine this with the shorter, darker days, and it’s no wonder we end up feeling less well.

The key is getting enough good quality sleep and spending enough time in all sleep stages, including deep sleep. Adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep per night.

Most of us will experience interrupted sleep or anxiety at some point in our lives, often caused by periods of intense stress such as job interviews, family demands or work deadlines.

‘A good night’s sleep is an essential way to beat stress and supports our overall health and wellbeing.’ Says Dr. Miriam Ferrer, PhD and head of product development at nutritional supplement company FutureYou Cambridge.

With this in mind, Dr. Ferrer and the scientific experts at FutureYou Cambridge have developed an advanced and effective supplement that combines key natural ingredients chosen for their ability to work together to gently influence sleep and mood in an easy-to-use capsule to take called Serene+.

Serene+ contains Affron®, a patented Spanish saffron extract and Extramel®, a patented melon juice concentrate. These are combined with French organic lavender essential oil and sea magnesium, plus vitamins B5, B6 and B12, to work together to create a feeling of serenity, harmony and inner peace.

Dr. Ferrer continues: ‘Many of us experience problems such as achieving deeper, good quality sleep, or struggling to sleep through the night. Chronic sleep problems can lead to feelings of irritability, low mood and increased anxiety levels.

‘Not getting enough sleep can reduce your motivation and energy and make you less interested in activities you enjoy. People who have interrupted sleep and wake up tired will understand how important a good night’s sleep is.

‘We use high-quality lavender oil, extracted from flowers grown organically in France.’ Doctor Ferrer explains.

‘We have also added marine magnesium, sourced from the Irish Sea, a natural mineral produced from seawater. Studies have shown that this variety has better bioavailability (absorbability) than magnesium oxide.

‘It can contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as well as to the normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function.

Serene+ also contains a bioactive form of vitamin B6 that mimics the form normally obtained through food and contributes to normal psychological functioning and the regulation of hormones. Vitamin B2 is also included and provides additional protection to cells against oxidative stress.’ Dr. Ferrer explains.

Antioxidant nutrients help fight oxidative stress; the process that occurs when free radicals, which increase with age, cannot be removed by the body’s antioxidant systems and begin to attack healthy cells. In the short term it can make us feel tired, but in the long term it can lead to illness and serious illness.

Oxidative stress is caused by many factors, including alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of sleep and stress. Some symptoms include feeling more tired, agitated or irritable, having trouble sleeping, and having a persistently low mood.

With over 12,000 reviews on Trustpilot, the respected review platform open to all, FutureYou Cambridge has an average rating of 4.8, with a recent 5-star reviewer for Serene+ reporting: ‘Since I started taking Serene+ I feel less anxious and feel calmer during the day. I also sleep a lot better at night.’ Pam M.

Another five-star reviewer said: ‘I bought it because I didn’t have much hope that it would work, but because I haven’t slept well for a long time, I now find myself getting 6 to 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. For me, this is life-changing, and I will continue taking this as long as it works for me, because my quality of life is undeniably better.”

Dr. Ferrer concludes: ‘Remember that supplements are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to supporting your mood and sleep. Get regular exercise, spend time away from the screen every day, maintain a good sleep routine, and eat a diet rich in antioxidants to support your overall well-being.

‘We would like to help you get through the winter in a positive way by offering people the opportunity to try their first pack of Serene+ for free, only paying the €1.50 delivery fee. Because this is a relatively fast-acting supplement, you may notice benefits within a few weeks. Consistency is key, so it’s important to take Serene+ every day.
