Buy Form’a Sleep: four synergistic actives for restorative sleep
Form’a Sleep by Distriform’, in 90 capsules, combines four natural actives — GABA, California poppy, valerian and passionflower — to support relaxation, ease falling asleep and improve sleep quality. Available at our Paris shop, with Click & Collect and delivery across France and Europe.
Four actives, four complementary mechanisms
GABA (150 mg), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, slows neuronal activity to support calm. California poppy (150 mg) is a gentle traditional sedative plant containing alkaloids that support relaxation without next-day grogginess. Valerian root (150 mg) is recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for traditional use in sleep disturbances, with valerenic acid acting on GABA-A receptors to reinforce the body’s own GABA effect. Passionflower (150 mg, 2% vitexin) contains flavonoids and indole alkaloids that help ease evening anxiety and mental restlessness. Together, they cover the three problem phases: difficulty falling asleep, night waking, and non-restorative sleep.
GABA: the key sleep neurotransmitter
GABA is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human brain — about 30% of brain synapses are GABAergic. It reduces overall neuronal excitability, a necessary condition for the wake-to-sleep transition, supports deep slow-wave sleep, and helps lower cortisol, the stress hormone that keeps the body alert. This formula provides 150 mg of GABA per capsule, or 300–450 mg per dose (2–3 capsules), in line with clinical study ranges of 100–300 mg before bed.
How to use & precautions
Take 2 to 3 capsules with the evening meal, 30–60 minutes before bed. A course of 3–4 weeks is recommended, renewable after a week’s break. For best results, pair with good sleep hygiene: a cool room (18°C), screens off an hour before bed, regular sleep times, and no caffeine after 2pm.
Not recommended for children under 12 or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Do not combine with sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication without medical advice. Do not drive in the hours following intake if you feel drowsy.
Frequently asked questions
Is Form’a Sleep habit-forming?
No. Unlike synthetic sleeping pills, all four ingredients are natural and do not cause physical dependence — you can stop the course at any time with no withdrawal effect.
What is the difference from melatonin?
Melatonin acts on the body’s biological clock (circadian rhythm); Form’a Sleep acts on nervous relaxation and anxiety. The two approaches are complementary.
