Like Magnolol, Honokiol is also extracted from the bark of the magnolia tree, but this component is specifically aimed at reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. It has a proven ability to regulate the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, resulting in deeper and more restful sleep. A healthy, restful night's sleep consists of two elements: sufficient hours and deep, uninterrupted sleep, the so-called quality sleep.
The magnolia bark (Magnolia Bark) is a medicinal plant and is sometimes referred to by the botanical name Magnolia officinalis, as well as by the traditional names Houpo or Hou Po.
In biomedical studies, the main active substances of the magnolia bark are called Magnolol and Honokiol.
After a long history of use in Asian medicine, Honokiol has been studied by Western researchers for its potential uses in anxiety, pain, diseases affecting blood vessels, seizures and Alzheimer's disease.
Research has shown that Honokiol works with brain chemistry in ways that promote relaxation and sleep. Specifically, this compound works with a brain chemical called GABA in a manner similar to the sedative medications such as diazepam, alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam, and oxazepam.
Researchers also suggest that Honokiol may help combat insomnia and other sleep problems by affecting the stages of sleep.
Magnolol is a natural compound extracted from the bark of the magnolia tree. It is known for its calming properties and has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for its relaxing effects on the body and mind. It helps reduce stress and promotes a sense of calm, which is essential for a good night's sleep.

In biomedical studies, the main active substances of the magnolia bark are called Magnolol and Honokiol.
There are two biologically active compounds Magnolol and Honokiol, which are extracted from the extract of the magnolia bark that scientists have discovered can have several beneficial effects.
One of the effects of Magnolol is that it acts on neurochemical receptors in the brain. Researchers believe that Magnolol may help restore the normal function of chemicals in the brain, which may help with anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Extracts of the magnolia bark, as well as preparations using Magnolol, Honokiol and Ziziphus Jujuba in combination with other substances, can interfere with the action of certain medications. Magnolia bark extracts may enhance or alter the effects of certain medications and may be risky. Experts do not recommend using magnolia bark extracts if you are currently taking:
There are also possible interactions between magnolia bark extracts and other medications. It is important to talk to your doctor before taking a magnolia bark supplement in combination with other medications. Magnolol, Honokiol and Ziziphus Jujuba is not suitable for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women.
From research by the FDA (food and drug administration), the studies conducted so far have not shown many side effects. One study showed that 94% of participants who used magnolia bark extracts experienced no side effects. The rare side effects reported included heartburn, numbness, sexual problems, and thyroid problems.

This small, shrubby plant is native to Asia. Ziziphus jujuba better known as jujube, is an edible fruit that resembles a date. Jujube is sweet and rich in fiber, the jujube fruit is packed with nutritional value, and is a good source of vitamins A, B, C, and contains minerals such as iron, phosphorus and calcium.
In classical traditional Chinese medicine, jujube is often used in combination with other herbal herbs to treat a variety of diseases, including sleep disorders. One of the strongest benefits of jujube is its ability to calm the mind and promote sleep.
Two types of bioactive plant compounds, phytochemicals and saponins in jujube cause changes in neurotransmitters, including GABA and serotonin, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
