Nothing but Pure Best-Rest Formula-Review
Product Claims of Best-Rest Formula
Our review of Pure Best-Rest Formula analyzes the product against its manufacturer claims. There are many sleep aids on the market so the purpose of the review is to arm consumers with disclosures and information.
According to the manufacturer, Best-Rest helps bring on sleep, heightens sleep quality and supports natural nervous system relaxation. It is made with flower extracts and other natural ingredients that are hypoallergenic and vegan. The supplement contains passionflower, chamomile, lemon balm and hops, which have shown promise in trials regarding inducing states of serenity. The product is also gluten free.
Ingredients

- vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5' phosphate) (activated B6) 3.3 mg.
- Melatonin 1 mg.
- GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) 300 mg.

- passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) extract (aerial parts) 100 mg.

The capsule is made of cellulose, water, hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), gum arabic, maltodextrin, ascorbyl palmitate and silica.
Note that maltodextrin is MSG, a preservative. It is controversial for its links to sugar spikes, increased calorie intake and decreased heart function. Valerian extract is well-known to induce sleep, but an optimal amount of .10mg should be included.
A star ingredient is passion flower, which has been known to aid sleep, hysteria, nervousness and even hot flushes. The plant has muscle spasm relaxing effects and is sleep inducing. It was taken off the market in 1978 due to safety concerns. This accounts for the manufacturer warning not to use the product while driving, pregnant or operating heavy machinery. It is also not safe for people suffering from depression, seasonal affective disorder, schizophrenia, autoimmune disease, asthma or those using MAO inhibitors or corticosteroids.

Summary Of Our Best-Rest Review
On the whole, the product gets good reviews from consumers apart from the smelly capsule, with some reporting overly vivid dreams though. The side effects seem to be very limited and the capsules are non-addictive. One drawback for consumers is the price, and the lack of a no-questions-asked money back guarantee that is adequate, meaning 90 days. A sleep pill is something that cannot be tested in one week or one month, as it is not advisable to interrupt sleep patterns with long use. Consumers need to be able to evaluate the effects over time, using the capsule only as and when needed. There are similar natural products with 90-day guarantees; look for alternatives if you don’t like the guarantee policy or are worried about the inclusion of passion flower which was market removed in 1978 as a stand-alone sleep aid.
