Description
Progressive Health’s Moderex is an all-natural alternative to traditional sedative medications to relieve insomnia (sleeplessness) and promote relaxation. This unique blend of clinically evaluated ingredients includes GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), inositol, valerian, kava, lupulin (hops), glutamic acid, magnesium, niacinamide, passion flower, thiamine HCL and 5-hydroxy tryptophan (5-HTP). Moderex has been designed to relieve occasional sleeplessness, chronic insomnia or restlessness, guaranteeing a full night’s rest.
The amino acid GABA has a calming effect on the brain and enhances relaxation and sleep. It prevents neurons from overfiring in the brain, which blocks stress and anxiety. Studies suggest that GABA increases the body’s sleeping cycle and promotes restful sleep. Glutamic acid is a precursor to GABA and an essential neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
B complex vitamins including inositol, niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) and thiamine (vitamin B1) are essential for the proper functioning of the brain and the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and serotonin. The neurotransmitter 5-hydroxy tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin. Clinical studies report that it may be effective in treating insomnia and anxiety.
The botanicals valerian root, passion flower, kava and lupulin have been traditionally used to relieve anxiety and treat insomnia. They work synergistically to promote relaxation and improve mood. The essential mineral magnesium is involved in many vital body functions and used to promote sleep.
Pros
A recent study reports that nearly half of all Americans have difficulty sleeping and only 35% of adults get the recommended amount of sleep. Moderex offers an all-natural alternative to traditional medications which carry a high risk of dependency and adverse side effects.
Progressive Health guarantees a full refund within 180 days if desired results are not attained.

Cons
GABA side effects may include a tingling sensation in the hands and face that quickly subsides. Nausea (especially in doses over 3 grams per day) and slight shortness of breath have also been reported
Certain people may experience mild GI (gastrointestinal) upset when taking kava. Since kava inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes that assist in the breakdown of many medications, it has the potential to react with a wide range of medications. The possibility that kava in high doses may cause liver damage is still being determined.
Some people may experience flushing, headache and stomachache when using niacinamide.
Certain people may experience nausea or headache when taking 5-hydroxy tryptophan.
Pregnant or lactating women, people with pre-existing medical conditions or those taking medications should consult a physician before taking Moderex.
