Poor sleep isn't just about the dangers of drowsiness.
If you’re not getting the recommended seven or more hours of sleep every night, everything from your mood, cognition, immunity and cardiovascular system can pay the price. By incorporating science-backed IV Therapy into your routine, you can receive the vitamins and nutrients you need for a more restorative, restful sleep.
Why Try IV Therapy to Improve Sleep?
When you receive IV Drip Therapy at Restore, each session starts with a Nurse evaluation to help choose the right nutrients for your goals. Your 60-90 minute IV session is designed to be relaxing while delivering a potent blend of vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This method ensures 100% bioavailability of nutrients, compared to just 15-20% through eating and drinking alone.
The Best IV Nutrients for Sleep
We asked our medical experts about the most effective nutrients to help you get a good night’s sleep, and these are the ones worth taking notes on.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 plays a key role in sleep health by assisting in the production of serotonin and melatonin, the neurotransmitters and hormones that together regulate mood, relaxation and the body’s sleep–wake cycle.
It also supports the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter known for its calming effects, which may promote pre-sleep relaxation. By aiding in all these biochemical processes, Vitamin B6 can help foster an improved ability to fall asleep and promote deeper, more restful sleep. 1
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm, by aiding in melatonin production. Melatonin acts as the body’s natural sleep cue, letting your system know when it’s time to wind down. B12 also supports healthy nerve function for better communication between the brain and the body.
A Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause insomnia, poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue, while adequate levels help you fall asleep faster, promote deeper quality sleep and leave you feeling alert and refreshed during the day. 2
Zinc
Zinc plays a dual role in promoting sleep by nourishing the nervous system and aiding the body’s natural melatonin production. It helps calm the brain by influencing neurotransmitters involved in relaxation to help you fall asleep and stay asleep longer. Because Zinc also supports immune function, maintaining healthy levels may enhance the restorative benefits of sleep, helping you wake feeling more refreshed and rested. 3
Magnesium
Magnesium plays a vital role in creating a sense of calm throughout the body by easing muscle tension, supporting melatonin release, and balancing GABA activity—all of which promote sleep onset and maintenance. Studies support magnesium's benefit to improving sleep quality, increasing sleep duration, reducing sleep onset latency, and enhancing deep sleep stages.⁴
Research shows Magnesium Sulfate specifically may stimulate melatonin secretion from the pineal gland and help regulate circadian rhythms, contributing to better sleep patterns.⁵ At Restore, we offer Magnesium Sulfate for IV Therapy, providing these restorative benefits for anyone experiencing difficulty sleeping through the night.
Amino Acids
A blend of Amino Acids, such as Arginine, Citrulline and Lysine, can work together to support better sleep by improving circulation, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.
Arginine and Citrulline specifically help boost nitric oxide production, which relaxes blood vessels and enhances blood flow to support a calm body ready for rest. Lysine has been shown to help reduce anxiety and lower the stress hormone cortisol, which can make it easier to fall asleep. Together, these Amino Acids may help the body transition smoothly into more restorative, quality sleep. 6
