Sleep & Inner Calm – Nutrients and Plant Extracts at a Glance

In this category, we bring together nutrients and plant extracts traditionally associated with the topic of sleep and inner calm. The range extends from melatonin and minerals such as magnesium to classic herbs such as valerian, passion flower and St. John's Wort. All supplements from Scheunengut are vegan, bottled in Germany and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The substance groups are of different natures: melatonin is a molecule the body produces itself and which is reproduced identically by synthesis. Valerian, passion flower and St. John's Wort are classic medicinal plants, from whose roots, herb or flowers extracts are obtained. Ashwagandha comes from the Ayurvedic tradition, griffonia from the seeds of a West African plant.

Standardisation & Format

Plant extracts are standardised to defined marker substances – for example St. John's Wort to hypericin and hyperforin, or ashwagandha to a withanolide content. Melatonin is typically dosed at 1 mg per tablet. The formats range from tablets and capsules to powders and complexes, often combined with B vitamins.

What to Look for When Buying

  • Standardised, transparently declared content of the marker substances
  • Traceable botanical origin and raw material quality
  • Vegan formulation without unnecessary additives
  • Independently lab-tested purity

Häufige Fragen zu Mind

Which nutrients and plants relate to sleep and inner calm?

The range spans everything from melatonin and magnesium to classic herbs such as valerian, passionflower, and St John's wort. Magnesium contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. The herbs, in turn, have been valued in natural medicine for generations in connection with calm and winding down in the evening.

What is melatonin?

Melatonin is a molecule the body produces naturally, which is recreated synthetically in identical form for sleep products. It's a firmly established part of this category. At Scheunengut, you'll get it as a lab-tested product, bottled in Germany, with a clear declaration of the amount contained per serving.

What are valerian and passionflower traditionally valued for?

Valerian, passionflower, and St John's wort are classic medicinal plants, with extracts obtained from their roots, herb, or flowers. In traditional use, they have long been associated with relaxation and calm evening hours. We offer them as standardised extracts, calibrated to defined marker compounds.

What should I consider when choosing?

Consider whether the nutrient-based route via magnesium appeals to you, the body's own approach via melatonin, or the herbal tradition with plants like valerian. For extracts, it's worth checking the standardisation, such as the extract ratio. All Scheunengut products are vegan, lab-tested, and bottled in Germany.
