Weyland Jetlag-Review
Product Claims of Weyland Jetlag
Today we are reviewing a supplement called Weyland Jetlag. This is a short acting supplement that can be taken to reduce the symptoms of jet lag. It is designed to restore the biological clock in order to reduce the occurrence of a sleep disturbance. In order to regulate the chemical signals in the body that enhance or inhibit the feeling of sleepiness, the body has a biological clock built into the brain. This clock releases the relevant signals at the right times so that you get a regular sleep pattern. But this process is disturbed when crossing time zones. In this review of Weyland Jetlag, we determine how helpful the ingredients are, and you can benefit from taking this supplement.
Ingredients
- Niacin
- Vitamin B6
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Green Tea Leaf Extract
- L-theanine
- Melatonin
- Lemon Balm Leaf
- Passionflower Herb
- Schisandra Extract
- Valerian Root
Niacin causes the release of a special amino acid in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid. This amino acid causes a reduction in brain activity by reducing the electrical activity in the brain cells. Vitamin B6 also has relaxing effects. The next five ingredients listed - calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium and potassium, are all vital components of electrical and chemical signaling between brain cells. Adequate levels of these help to facilitate the brain signaling that occurs to reset the biological clock. It is difficult to ascertain the function of the green tea leaf extract in the supplement, but Green tea leaf extract contains caffeine which could counteract the effects of the relaxing substances in this product. L-theanine and melatonin have similar effects to gamma-aminobutyric acid. Melatonin is actually the natural sleep hormone that controls the sleep wake cycle known as the circadian rhythm. The remainder of the ingredients are plant extracts which contain compounds known to induce relaxation and to promote sleep.

Summary Of Our Weyland Jetlag Review
Among the things we liked about the product are manufactured in the USA at an FDA inspected cGMP and 3rd party rated facility. We were glad to see there is a (limited) 60 return policy. We liked that melatonin is included in the list of ingredients. On the downside, one bottle only contains 45 capsules and is costly at $45 This is $1 per pill! There are no first time customer, nor bulk buying discounts (other than 10% off for recurring orders). Shipping is extra unless you spend over $25. The guarantee is only valid for unopened products according to the returns policy and only good for 60 days. There were no customer reviews on the company website. Lastly we felt that the dosage instructions to take 3 pills 12 hours before morning at your final destination is too complicated and difficult to comply with for many people when undergoing the stresses of flying. For these reasons we recommend looking elsewhere for a jet lag supplement.
