Anesthesiologists know how to knock you out in an instant, but someone has come up with a more “natural” way to do it every night.
Dr. David Mahjoubi, a board-certified anesthesiologist, used his expertise—including as a doctor at a ketamine clinic—to formulate Sleepinox’s Natural Sleep Supplement, which promises to not only improve your sleep, but boost your immune system. and improve your cognitive function. , too.
“Being the medical director and owner of Ketamine Recovery Clinic in Los Angeles & Orange County, I have many patients I treat for anxiety and depression,” Mahjoubi told The Post on Wednesday.
“I have patients on strong prescription psychotropic medications like Ambien … things that, over time, long term, are not super healthy for the brain,” he continued. “After seeing patients with 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 treatment for insomnia since the time of ancient Greece and Rome, while ashwagandha has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety.
Borage oil, which is derived from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant, has been used to combat anxiety and inflammation. And finally, L-theanine is said to help relieve anxiety, stress and insomnia.
Bedtime, keep the melatonin
Mahjoubi said his organic and vegan capsules do not contain melatonin because it can lead to depression and “morning brain fog.” He reports that Sleepinox will not cause morning drowsiness or addiction.
“I had people taking 10 milligrams of Ambien every night,” he told The Post. “Now, many of those patients take 2.5 milligrams of Ambien with two of my sleep [capsules]and wake up more refreshed.”
A bottle of Sleepinox, which is made in a natural vitamin lab in Florida, contains 90 capsules and sells for $45. Mahjoubi suggests two or three capsules before bed to treat mild to moderate insomnia and three capsules before bed for moderate to severe insomnia.
A fourth capsule can be taken if insomnia persists. You should consult a doctor before taking Sleepinox if you are taking other medications.
The new formulation of Sleepinox comes as 12% of Americans report being diagnosed with chronic insomnia.
According to data from Statista, the sleep aid market — which includes herbal remedies and melatonin products, but not prescription sleep medications — generated more than $5.2 billion in revenue worldwide this year. The industry is expected to grow by nearly 5% per year.
Supplements for sleep and other conditions are not as strictly regulated as prescription drugs by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Mahjoubi, who also co-created an anti-aging cream with prescription rapamycin and a natural testosterone booster, plans to develop a liquid version of his sleep supplement. He expects it to launch in late 2025.
