Q&A

Frequently asked questions

Which sleep phase is most important for muscle recovery?
Slow-Wave Sleep (Deep Sleep) is the most critical for athletes and muscle growth. During this phase, up to 75% of daily growth hormone (GH) is released, facilitating tissue repair and protein synthesis.
Does the 5-HTP in Unwind disrupt natural serotonin production?
No. Unlike synthetic SSRI medications that alter neurotransmitter reuptake, 5-HTP acts as a direct amino acid building block. The body uses it as needed to synthesize serotonin naturally, without causing dependency or down-regulation.
