Serenitol is a supplement said to treat a variety of disorders and symptoms including insomnia, bruxism, headaches, tmj disorder, tinnitus, hyperacusis, snoring, narcolepsy, somnambulism, night sweats, chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep apnea, and sleep deprivation. It also claims to relieve anxiety and stress, and help manage symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.

How Does Serenitol Work?

Serenitol contains inositol, valerian root, gamma amino butyric acid, kava kava, lupulin, glutamic acid, magnesium, niacinimide, passion flower, thiamine HCI and 5-HTP.

Valerian root has been used for many years in natural and holistic formulas for the treatment of insomnia, because it acts as a sedative and calms the body. Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) is a substance that is also found in the brain, and helps depress or shut down certain areas of the central nervous system to allow you to relax and fall asleep. Kava kava has been known to reduce anxiety and stress. Passion flower has been used to calm nervousness and treat insomnia. 5-HTP helps the body produce serotonin, which can elevate mood and increase feelings of well being.

Is Serenitol an Effective Sleeping Pill?

There are many good ingredients in Serenitol, a lot of which are found in many other sleep aids and supplements. However, it does appear that Serenitol is no longer on the market, and no information could be found verifying any claims about its effectiveness in the treatment of any of the disorders that you may decide to use the product for, including the treatment of insomnia. No vendor or manufacturer information could be found on why Serenitol is no longer available.

Side Effects

Mild to moderate stomach pain and discomfort had been noticed in users of Serenitol. Usually these stomach issues only occurred during the initial uses and wore off quickly.

There has been some question about the use of Kava Kava. Research is being done to determine whether or not it has the potential for causing liver damage.

Final word on Serenitol

Since Serenitol appears to be no longer on the market, obviously you will want to look into other treatment options. With the long list of benefits and claims made by the manufacturers of Serenitol, it is hard to imagine it being very effective across such a broad and diverse spectrum anyway. If it had been very effective and safe, it would probably still be available.

If you are dealing with chronic symptoms of insomnia, or even occasional nights of sleeplessness, you should look into products that are made for this purpose. There are many natural sleep aids that have been proven effective in the battle for sleep and these can be very beneficial to you and to the overall health and well being of your body.
