May is Better Sleep Month

May is Better Sleep Month, and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and Better Sleep Council (BSC) are promoting healthy steps consumers can take to improve their sleep. Particularly in today’s stressful economy, committing to a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, healthy exercise and appropriate supplements can combat stress and enhance sleep quality.“Herbals and other dietary supplements can be safe and effective ways to help individuals achieve quality sleep,” said Douglas MacKay, N.D., vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN. Among MacKay’s top choices for supplements to help reduce stress or promote healthy sleep—melatonin, magnesium, calcium, valerian and 5-HTP.
