Res-Q Sleep Liquid: Relaxation for good, quality sleep.

Res-Q Sleep Liquid’s ability to help maintain a normal sleeping pattern is attributed to the combination of the proprietary blend of ingredients found in the Res-Q formula.


There are many different species of the herb Scutellaria, also referred to as Skullcap. Scutellaria lateriflora, American skullcap, a member of the mint family, is a safe and effective herb commonly used by Native Americans for calming purposes, and continues to be very popular today, found in many European and American supplements. The herb has been shown to be effective in studies. When used in combination with Valerian, the results are greater, promoting tranquility and drowsiness.

Valerian is an herb that grows in Europe. The roots of the herb Valerian are used for the ability to calm and relax supporting restful sleep. In a placebo-controlled study, Valeriana officinalis improved the amount of time that it takes to fall asleep, and the quality of sleep. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, 89% of the people that took Valerian slept better demonstrating the potential of a natural herb to promote better sleep. No side effects were observed in the study.

Matricaria recutita, or German Chamomile, native to Europe and western Asia, is quite popular. Chamomile belongs to the daisy family. The flowers of the popular herb Chamomile have been used for centuries in natural health for a variety of reasons. Chamomile is included in Res-Q Sleep Liquid for its sedative, and relaxing health benefits. Research on Chamomile demonstrated Chamomile’s ability to encourage sleep indicated by the amount of time that it takes to fall asleep.

The seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia encourages sleep by assisting with the body’s natural synthesis of a beneficial amino acid that helps maintain a beneficial brain chemical level necessary to help regulate the sleep/wake cycle.

Melatonin occurs naturally in the human body and plays a critical role with regard to when to fall asleep and wake-up. Melatonin also occurs in animals, and is found in tiny amounts in food. It is important that the melatonin used to supplement the diet is the synthesized form of melatonin which is the pure form used for the safe manufacturing of supplements. Res-Q Sleep Liquid uses melatonin in this safe, beneficial form. Melatonin levels can be out of balance from age, time zone changes, the winter months, daylight exposure, working nights, and for other reasons. Melatonin supplements have been shown in studies to sufficiently raise melatonin levels and promote better quality sleep.

Res-Q Sleep Liquid uses the preferred water-extract of these safe, and effective herbs in order to provide the best quality product. The precise dosage of the liquid is administered as a spray. Simply spray into the mouth. Res-Q Sleep Caplets are also available, for those that prefer caplets instead of a liquid spray. For questions or to order Res-Q Sleep, call 1-800-26-ALIVE.

Why Sleep Matters

In support of National Sleep Awareness Week (March 1-8), we at Res-Q would like to educate you on the importance of a good night’s sleep.

So many of us take a good night’s sleep for granted; In fact, many people glamorize how little sleep they get each night, as if running on only three hours makes them stronger or tougher.

Unfortunately the opposite is true. Chronic lack of sleep, by most experts, is now considered dangerous. In fact, “untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases,” according to the National Institutes of Health. (1)

In a recent report by The Division of Sleep Medicine of Harvard Medical School, “going without adequate sleep carries with it both short- and long-term consequences:” (2)

“In the short term, a lack of adequate sleep can affect judgment, mood, ability to learn and retain information, and may increase the risk of serious accidents and injury. In the long term, chronic sleep deprivation may lead to a host of health problems including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.”(3)

The National Sleep Foundation recently polled a group of people on how they felt each morning. The reason being that this data almost always corresponds with the amount of sleep people get. When they asked readers how they typically feel when they wake up, the results were alarming.

“Over half of respondents replied that they wake up feeling "slightly groggy," while around 38 percent replied "exhausted." Only almost 9 percent said they feel "well-rested."”(4)

A good night’s sleep is crucial. And we at Res-Q strongly suggest taking measures to address any sleep issues you may have.

There are few options to address the problem. One such option is prescription drugs. This, however, tends to lead to dependency and a host of other negative health issues and harmful side effects.

Another healthier, safer option is Res-Q Sleep. It’s one of the only all-natural sleep remedies on the market today that works to address several specific sleep issues. It helps those who have trouble falling asleep and those who have trouble staying asleep during the night. It also works as a calming agent, designed to ease restless sleepers into a gentle sleep. And because it’s all-natural, there is no threat of waking up in the morning groggy or disoriented.

Plant Sterols and Heart Disease

In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration approved a health claim for plant sterols and heart disease. The FDA states that “Foods containing at least .65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, consumed twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” A one caplet serving of Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin (Res-Q LDL-x2), contains .65 grams of plant sterols, taken twice a day with meals, equals a daily total intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters. The FDA further acknowledges that “the scientific evidence established that including plant sterols in the diet helps to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol levels.”

Plant Sterols are an active ingredient in Res-Q LDL-x2. Res-Q LDL-x2 works in conjunction with Res-Q 1250 to promote good cardiovascular health by promoting circulation and cholesterol well-being. The plant sterols in Res-Q LDL-x2 reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol and inhibit the re-absorption of body-produced cholesterol. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for good cardiovascular health. Since the total cholesterol number consists of both the triglycerides, and the LDL cholesterol, it is a good idea to take Res-Q LDL-x2 and Res-Q 1250. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is the first choice for complete cardiovascular health. However, Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without Niacin for those who request Res-Q LDL-x2 without niacin. We recommend that our first-time buyers purchase our Basic Starter Pack which includes many extra Res-Q products for free as a bonus!
