Weyland Jetlag Review
Weyland Jetlag is a natural supplement designed to recondition the biological clock (circadian rhythm) that governs the sleep and wake cycle in the human body. When people cross time zones their biological clock is out of sync with the visual and temperature clues of the time in the new time zone. This can cause a sleep disorder, which has other symptoms like nausea and headaches. These symptoms are known as jet lag. In this review, we examine the quality of this product to determine if it is the best supplement for treating jet lag on the market.

Melatonin is a natural hormone that is expressed in the brain in order to control the sleep-wake cycle. Levels of melatonin increase when it is dark in order to help a person fall asleep. The next 5 ingredients listed are plant extracts. They have all been scientifically linked with improving sleep because they contain chemicals which are able to interact with brain cells, muscle cells and other tissues. The issue with green tea extract is that it contains caffeine which may reduce the effects of the other ingredients in this supplement.
Niacin and vitamin B6 are two B vitamins that cause relaxation activity in the brain. Niacin causes the release of an amino acid called gamma aminobutyric acid. This amino acid acts as a chemical messenger to reduce electrical brain activity and induce sleepiness.
Calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium and potassium are minerals that function in the electrical and chemical signaling between brain cells. In order to facilitate smooth signaling, correct levels of these are needed in the body.
L-theanine is another amino acid which has similar effects to gamma aminobutyric acid.

Conclusion of Our Weyland Jetlag Review
This all natural and vegetarian friendly product is offered at a reasonable price and includes mostly scientifically sound ingredients (except for the green tea leaf extract). We believe however that this manufacturer is lacking in customer support because they don’t offer a satisfaction guarantee ( a guarantee for opened products) which also shows that they are not entirely confident in their own product. Furthermore, the dosage instructions are a bit unusual as they will only help when a person reaches their final destination.
