      Ingredient      
      Benefit
        
        Dates, cashews, oats & spirulina
        contain tryptophan, which is needed to make melatonin and therefore serotonin. Tryptophan, plus tryptophan hydroxylase subsequently produce serotonin.
            
      Pumpkin seeds, Swiss chard & spinach  
      contain magnesium, which is a relaxant and also increases blood flow.
        
        Collard greens
        contain calcium, which helps sustain rapid eye movement (REM).
       
        Almond milk
        contains calcium. It’s thought that calcium helps tryptophan to release melatonin.
