Dr. David Mahjoubi, a board-certified anesthesiologist and founder of the Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles & Orange County, has introduced a natural sleep supplement designed to tackle insomnia while promoting overall health.
Drawing on his expertise in anesthesiology and ketamine therapy, Mahjoubi created Sleepinox’s Natural Sleep Supplement. He claims it can improve sleep quality, boost immune function, and enhance cognitive performance—all without the use of melatonin, reported the New York Post.
Mahjoubi’s inspiration came from his work with patients struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic insomnia.
“I have patients who are on prescription-strength psychotropic medications like Ambien,” Mahjoubi explained, noting the long-term risks associated with such drugs. He aimed to develop a natural, effective, gentle alternative. Sleepinox launched three years ago and recently debuted a new formula to further refine its benefits.
The updated formulation includes magnesium glycinate, valerian root, ashwagandha, borage oil, and L-theanine. Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium’s muscle-relaxing properties with glycine’s mood-regulating benefits to calm the nervous system. Valerian root, used since ancient Greece, promotes sleep, while ashwagandha reduces stress and anxiety. Borage oil helps combat inflammation and anxiety; L-theanine eases insomnia and mental tension. Together, these ingredients create a synergistic effect to aid sleep without causing dependency.
Notably absent from Sleepinox is melatonin, a common ingredient in sleep aids.
Mahjoubi chose to exclude it due to its potential to cause morning grogginess and, in some cases, depressive symptoms. Instead, he emphasizes that Sleepinox is designed to leave users refreshed and alert the next day. According to Mahjoubi, many patients have been able to reduce their reliance on medications like Ambien by supplementing with Sleepinox, describing it as a bridge to healthier sleep habits.
A bottle of Sleepinox, produced in a natural vitamin laboratory in Florida, contains 90 capsules and retails for $45.
Mahjoubi recommends taking two to three capsules before bedtime for mild to moderate insomnia and up to four capsules for severe cases. While generally considered safe, he advises consulting a physician before use, particularly for individuals taking other medications.
The release of the new Sleepinox formula coincides with a growing demand for sleep aids, as 12% of Americans report being diagnosed with chronic insomnia. The global sleep aids market, excluding prescription medications, generated over $5.2 billion in revenue this year and is projected to grow by nearly 5% annually.
Supplements like Sleepinox appeal to consumers seeking natural solutions in a market dominated by melatonin products and herbal remedies.
