Did you know you spend a third of your life sleeping? Without sleep you could not survive. During your sleep period your mind and body reset as you receive vital hormones for healing and restoration. 10%-40% of adults in the US have intermittent insomnia (inability to sleep), and 15% have long-term sleep difficulties.
The National Sleep Foundation found that 74 percent of American adults are experiencing a sleeping problem during the week. About 39% get less than seven hours of sleep each weeknight. More than one in three (37%) are so sleepy during the day that it interferes with daily activities.¹
People who sleep deeply and regularly have better well-being and health. More people than ever before need sleep aids to fall asleep. For some it is nearly impossible to fall asleep without assistance and even then it is difficult to acquire sufficient sleep.
Sleep aid drugs may become addictive and some have been associated with a variety of health problems. For example, benzodiazepines (sleep aids), in combination with other drugs or alcohol, can cause liver damage, headaches, dry mouth, anxiety, loss of sexual desire, sleepiness, a reduction in white blood cell count, and mental problems from long term use.
FKC’s Response
The scientists at FKC developed Relactein as a natural dietary supplement to help induce relaxation and sleep. Relactein was designed to act as a natural muscle and nervous system relaxant as well an aid in removing anxiety and stress to induce a deep restful sleep. The components in Relactein are key constituents in the biochemistry of natural relaxation and sleep.
Relactein contains Valerian Root Extract which helps protect receptors in the brain that promote sedation, tranquility, and sleep. Scientists also contribute Valerian for activating the serotonin pathways in our brains. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter responsible for good mood, well-being, tranquility, anti-anxiety, and anti-depression. Serotonin depletion is responsible for depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, low concentration, and low self-esteem; these symptoms are known as the Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome.
5-Hydroxytryptophan is the only natural chemical that can be converted into serotonin in the brain.
Vitamin B6 is essential for making serotonin as well. B6 acts as a cofactor in the enzymatic conversion of 5HTP to serotonin. B6 deficiency causes brain serotonin content to be significantly reduced and melatonin synthesis to be decreased thus reducing the feeling of well-being, sleep quality and quantity.

Relactein was designed to:
- Provide precursor biochemicals for the brain to make serotonin and melatonin hormones.
- Provide a natural herb that helps maintain and relax the nervous system
- Induce natural drowsiness and sleep by helping the brain trigger body tranquility and sleepiness.
- Help relax muscles

Tension and Insomnia:
Achieving relaxation is the key to sleeping well and fast. The problem may originate with constant tension and the lack of the ability to relax. Tension and insomnia cause fatigue, lack of concentration and attention, irritability, and depression. Insomnia also causes a decrease in work performance, traffic accidents and hospitalization. The cost for lost productivity and accidents from sleeping problems exceeds $100 billion per year. Sleeping difficulties also promote alcohol and drug abuse to induce sleep.
The problems of tension and sleep are common but the causes vary including medical conditions, social and psychological problems, and chemical use or abuse. The major and common cause of tension and insomnia is likely thinking and/or anxiety. The mind is too active with thoughts to relax enough to sleep. This is why drugs that numb the mind are popular, but risky.
