Awakened Alchemy Dream Review

We all know the fact that sleep is important for good health. Indeed, without good sleep, it’s incredibly difficult for your brain to function properly and that would eventually translate into brain fog, loss of creativity, and memory loss.

Fortunately, the awesome guys at Awakened Alchemy have discovered a potential way to overcome this challenge through their relatively popular invention – Awakened Alchemy Dream.

Awakened Alchemy Dream Overview

Dream is a dietary supplement that’s supplied in 90-capsule bottles. Its formula comprises 9 clinically-proven nootropic compounds vitamins and amino acids.

The company behind this product operates from Brooklyn New York 11249 plus they claim to have cGMP certified premises.

According to their sales copy, this product is meant to meet 4 different needs.

• Restorative Sleep: Apparently, the product contains non-habit forming ingredients meant to help you get better sleep quality.
• Enhancing Memory: If its list of ingredients is anything to go by, this product is optimized for supporting long-term memory (more on that later).
• Improve Mood: Because this product contains serotonin boosters, it’s clear that it can eliminate serotonin deficiencies and improve mood.
• Repair Brain: By boosting the levels of NGF and key peptides, this product claims to be in a position to boost the growth of new neurons whilst enhance synaptic connections.

Does It Work?

In our view, this product is simply a combination of anti-anxiety supplements and sleep-inducing ingredients – and it works! For instance, it contains melatonin which is a well-known sleep inducer.

Anxiety, stress, and depression have been identified as the most causes of insomnia. Therefore, even though this product can help you get better sleep it would still make sense to get to the root of the problem especially if you have symptoms of chronic depression or something.

Dream only helps provide you with temporary reprieve which means you’d need to take it each time you have sleep issues (fortunately, it’s not addictive).

For mild cases of stress, anxiety or depression, this product would be a sure bet. But for long-term health concerns, though, we’d recommend talking to a health practitioner for further assistance.

Key Ingredients

In order to get a clearer understanding of how exactly this product works, let’s take a look at its main active ingredients.

1. 5-HTP (150 mg)

This is an immediate precursor of serotonin. As you know, serotonin is a feel good hormone which is responsible for mood balance as well as emotional balance.

Due to modern-day lifestyle factors, most people end up running low on this crucial element and it’s, therefore, important to supplement on it.

2. Lion’s Mane Mushroom (500 mg)

Meet the Lion’s Mane Mushroom – one of the highly sought-after natural nootropic products. Grown in the wild parts of Eastern Asia, this mushroom is reputed for its ability to boost your levels of the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). It effectively promotes the growth of new neurons and improves inter-hemisphere communication.

3. CDP Choline (200 mg)

Choline is a crucial stimulant because it’s capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. High levels of choline are necessary to increase mental energy, improve focus, and also enhance memory.

However, choline is a stimulant and it’s not clear why they chose to include it here (note: they’ve included 200mg which is lower than the 500mg recommended daily intake).

4. Bacopa Monnieri (150 mg)

Some people simply refer to it as Brahmi, but whichever name you use to describe it, this Ayurvedic herb has gained the reputation of being quite effective in supporting memory formation.

Besides that, it’s an adaptogen meaning that it helps reduce anxiety and depression. By lowering your stress levels, your chances of getting a better quality of sleep also increases.

5. Magnesium L-Threonate (900 mg)

Magnesium, on its own, is a highly effective brain cell growth enhancer. However, barely 50% of it is absorbed in the body and that’s why manufacturers prefer to use Magnesium L-Threonate. By having high levels of magnesium in your body system, you are likely to see your cognitive health also significantly improve.

A major plus with Dream is that it’s made from magnesium sources from sterilized rice hulls. Therefore, it doesn’t contain magnesium stearate which has attracted numerous health concerns lately.

6. Melatonin (3 mg)

In a 2015 study, researchers found that epileptic children who took 9 mg of melatonin were able to fall asleep 11.4 minutes faster than their counterparts who took placebo.

With this study in mind, it’s possible to conclude that melatonin is capable of being used as a sleeping aid. And indeed, the WebMD recommends the use of 2mg - 3mg melatonin to manage primary insomnia.

7. Zinc Picolinate (15 mg)

Just like Magnesium Threonate, Zinc Picolinate is meant to be a highly bioavailable form of zinc. Typically, only 50% - 57% of the zinc you take is absorbed in the body. Given zinc’s important role in increasing the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), it makes sense to improve its bioavailability.

8. Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (15 mg)

A shortage of vitamin B6 can cause insomnia because it can reduce the production of melatonin and serotonin both that are extremely important for restful sleep. Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is a highly bioavailable version of Vitamin B6.

The recommended daily dosage of Vitamin B6 is 2.5 to 25 mg and we’re glad to see that the levels contained within Dream fall within that range.

9. D-Calcium Pantothenate (45 mg)

D-Calcium Pantothenate is simply Vitamin B5 only that it’s meant to be easier to absorb than the plain Vitamin B5.

Such high levels of the B vitamin are needed to support the production of Coenzyme A and Acetylcholine. Most importantly, the vitamin plays a pivotal role in supporting the production of energy at the mitochondrial level.

Who Takes This Product?

You don’t have to be diagnosed with insomnia to benefit from Dream. If you’ve been feeling fatigued at your place of work and having to take more than 1 cup of coffee just to go through the day, this might just be the best supplement to go for.

In other words, it’s recommended for anyone seeking to get a better rest at night so they can wake up relaxed and energetic. That said you should avoid using it if you’re on any prescribed medication, expectant or diagnosed with a chronic ailment like diabetes and high blood pressure.

Potential Side Effects

Even though sleep is important, the last thing you want to deal with is a bunch of side effects. Fortunately, if taken in the recommended dose, Dream is possibly safe for the long-term. The product has been in use for quite a few years now and so far so good.

But despite that being the case, it’s important to be cautious of some of its potential side effects.
Short-term Depression: Some users may have a notion of short-term depression due to the dizziness caused by melatonin.

• Daytime Sleepiness: Just to be safe, you want to avoid taking it in the morning, when operating machinery or driving.
• Stomach Discomfort: If you have a sensitive stomach, some of the ingredients included in this stack might cause some discomfort.

The chances of you experiencing any side effects from using this supplement are, however, very low. That’s partly due to the high quality of ingredients used and the fact that the manufacturer operates from a cGMP certified facility.

The Recommended Dosage

How many capsules of Dream should I take? Are there any limits? Well, as the old saying goes “too much of anything is bad for you.” Even 100% natural ingredients can harbor some side effects if taken in huge doses and that’s why it’s important for manufacturers to provided dosage guidelines.

Not all manufacturers do that, though. And that’s because that would give the FDA an upper-hand in pinning them down – in that case, you have to search for such details on online forums or determine by trial-and-error.

The good news, however, is that the awesome guys from Awakened Alchemy do provide clear dosage requirements. And in the case of Dream, those instructions are as follows.

• A full serving of Dream is 3 capsules
• Beginners, females or small-bodied men should start by trying 1 or 2 capsules

Since this product is meant to improve the quality of sleep, it should be avoided when one is working. The best time to take it is within 30 to 60 minutes before going to sleep.
