Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Hello, we are looking at getting some sleep drops for my mum, she is 80 + , she is having trouble sleeping and is wondering around at night.

She is on blood thinners and some other medication, I would have to find out what is, so I guess my question is being on medication can she still take the sleep drops?

Thanks Michelle 

A.The SleepDrops for Adults will be okay but the Healthy Sleep capsules and the Magnesium Liquid MAY possibly interfere with her blood thinners. That doesn’t mean she shouldn’t take them. That means IF she does take them she has to let her Dr know before she starts and they need to be ready to test her clotting factor more regularly to make sure she is okay. Safety first.

Our Healthy Sleep capsules are indicated for anyone, tossing and turning, waking in the night and not getting back to sleep. Healthy Sleep capsules are a high strength nutritional supplement which natural supports all the sleep pathways supporting healthy, deep, refreshing sleep. We do have a 2 week size which we recommend people on blood thinners try first just in case. However we have not had any people report any issues in using these products together. Hopefully she has a great relationship with her Doctor and they can make a solid plan.

When our products are extremely popular or suddenly sell well due to a promotion we are doing from time to time they may go out of stock temporarily. During this time we may continue to offer them on back order meaning we can accept your order and we will dispatch as soon as we have stock. This will clearly be stated on the website product sales page end again in the shopping cart.

Our clients find that once they start taking the product, and while they need the full recommended dose for the first little while, we expect as sleep patterns change for the better the dose and the frequency of the doses can be dropped. It is common for people to stop taking them all together, others continue to take a few drops a night before bed.

SleepDrops are a perfectly palatable liquid formula that you simple put under your tongue using the dropper provided with the bottle. Most people are seriously surprised by how good they taste while the worst comment I we have ever got about the taste is that they taste both a little bit sweet and a little bit sour.
They are in a base of Glycerine, purified water and ethanol and its the Glycerine that gives them the sweet taste.

You can take SleepDrops with your other health products. There is 0.005grams of dried herb equivalent per 5 drops dose so herb/drug interactions are impossible. If you are concerned about this possibility please follow the advice of your medical practitioner.

Yes you can. We have many customers taking our SleepDrops while pregnant and breastfeeding without it impacting on their milk. However every person is different so if you have reason to believe you are sensitive to herbal or energetic medicines perhaps taking our Essential Sleep and Stress Nutrients would be a more conservative approach and still get you an improved sleep.

General directions for use – Remember our team is available to discuss your individual needs on 0800 345999 during office hours. And if you are not sleeping within one week of starting the programme you must call us for support.
Phase one:
For 5 nights take 5 to 10 drops under tongue 1/2 hourly starting 2 hours before bed. If you wake in the night take one dose and repeat 1/2 hourly if necessary.

Phase two:
From the 6th night on going – Take 5 to 10 drops under tongue 1/2 hour before bed & once more immediately before retiring. If you wake in the night take one dose & repeat 1/2 hourly if necessary
Note: if you are a slight build or you are sensitive to medication take only 5 drops per dose.

The 60ml bottle contains 1200 drops – that’s 120 doses at 10 drops
or 240 doses at 5 drops – that means GREAT VALUE!

People sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients should avoid this product.

More is not better with this product. Taking 20 or 30 drops at a time will not make you sleep faster. You can take more but you will just be wasting it. Frequency is the key, taking it more often can help so if you have a particularly active mind and you can’t seem to switch off, you can use the Sleep Drops to help support this. You could take 1 or 2 drops every minute for 10 minutes.

Legally (due to NZ med safe regulations) I am not allowed to go into any detail at all about what results people can expect from my SLEEP DROPS but the name of the product pretty much covers it.

Yes, you can put it directly into their mouth taking care with the glass dropper or you can put it into their water or on their food. We would not recommend giving a pet more than 3 drops at a time.

We do not offer product samples because samples simply don’t work. The whole point of our SleepDrops system is that it works with the body to encourage natural sleep patterns so a sample isn’t able to do this.
Not only that – we have a mix and match system depending on your symptoms, how long you have been sleeping, whether you have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep or both etc – we understand that ONE product doesn’t work for everybody. Our system takes into consideration individual requirements and allows the person to get the support they need.
Sleep cycles take time – if you have been on medication it may take 1 week to 3 months.
Most people give up too soon and don’t give natural products a chance to work.
Having said that if you are not experiencing an improvement within a week of taking our system we ask that you contact us so we can try and work out what is going on for you.
Perhaps you would like to give our office a call on 0800345999 and one of our team can ascertain whether our system is a good option for you to try or not.
