Everything You Need To Know About Verve Eclipse Duo

Sleep deprivation is an alarming problem.

32.8 percent of adults report less sleep than is recommended. [1]

This number only increases with age, as 50% of elderly adults struggle with insomnia [2].

Yet, it’s well documented that poor sleep is associated with increased likelihood of developing dementia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and even cancers of the breast, colon, ovaries and prostate. [27]

Verve Eclipse Duo, our latest launch is here to help you avoid that by making falling and staying asleep easier than ever. Throughout this article, we’re going to dive into the science behind it to help you see whether it’s a fit for you.

What Is Verve Eclipse Duo?

Verve Eclipse Duo is our latest launch, an all-natural sleep aid with 15 natural ingredients that combine to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

What makes Verve Eclipse special compared to other sleep aids on the market is that all active ingredients are natural, and it doesn’t use heavy sleep aids like melatonin which are associated with feelings of grogginess the next day.

Lavender Herb Extract
Lemon Balm Extract
Montmorency Cherry Extract
Passionflower Extract
Magnesium (as Citrate)

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl)

Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in producing serotonin and melatonin, two hormones that regulate mood and the sleep-wake cycle.

It’s also an essential vitamin with many other purposes in the body [28]:

It maintains normal nerve function.
It makes Hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the red blood cells to the tissues. A vitamin B6 deficiency can cause a type of anemia.
Breaks down proteins.
It helps stabilise blood sugar (glucose)

Blood sugar in particular can be a culprit for restless nights, making Vitamin B6 an essential addition to Verve Eclipse Duo.

Zinc Picolinate

Zinc is essential for overall health, but its role in sleep is particularly related to its ability to enhance immune function and regulate sleep quality. A recent body of evidence suggests that zinc is involved in the regulation of sleep, and acts as a sleep modulator [29], making it a crucial addition if you struggle with sleep.

Chaga

Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that is known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress.

Chaga is also rich in antioxidant [2] and anti-inflammatory properties [3] to help the body reduce inflammation and oxidative stress which can interfere with sleep. It’s an excellent choice to induce a calm state of mind that is crucial for falling and staying asleep.

Chamomile Extract

Chamomile is a well-known natural remedy for promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, and oral consumption has been shown to be an effective natural treatment for anxiety [4], which of course can interfere with sleep.

Its gentle calming effect helps soothe nerves, preparing the mind and body for sleep. Additionally, it has also been linked to reduced awakenings during the night [6].

Green Tea Leaf (L-Theanine)

L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, helps promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. It works by increasing levels of calming brain chemicals like GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, creating the perfect balance for falling asleep while reducing anxiety.

A review in the national library of medicine suggests that L-theanine is a safe natural sleep aid, as it promotes good quality of sleep through anxiolysis [6].

Anxiolysis refers to the reduction or alleviation of anxiety. It is a mild form of sedation used to calm a person’s nerves, often in medical or dental procedures where the goal is to ease anxiety without causing unconsciousness.

This makes it a promising alternative to synthetic medications that produce this effect (anxiolytics), which may include drugs like benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam or lorazepam), and certain antidepressants.

It’s safe to say that L-Theanine is definitely worthy of its inclusion in the Verve Eclipse Duo Blend.

Lavender Herb Extract

Lavender is known for its ability to improve sleep quality by reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of calm.

A randomised double-blind placebo controlled trial found it to be an effective treatment for 'subsyndromal' anxiety disorder [7], improving their sleep, mental and physical health. This makes it especially effective for most users as subsyndromal anxiety (SSA) refers to anxiety symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder but pose a risk for developing such disorders, which is the category most people fall into.

Plus, its soothing aroma has been used for centuries to help individuals relax before bedtime.

Lemon Balm Extract

This herb has been used traditionally to ease tension and support a calm mind.

Lemon balm helps to promote relaxation and improve sleep by reducing stress and improving mood, allowing for a more restful sleep. It has been associated with reduced anxiety and depression [8]. Another study on people with minor sleep problems, found that 81% of those who took an herbal combination of valerian and lemon balm reported sleeping much better than those who took a placebo. [9]

Therefore, it’s a promising sleep aid, and why it’s included in the Verve Eclipse Duo blend.

Montmorency Cherry Extract

Montmorency cherries are a potent natural source of melatonin [10, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It has also been found to have positive effects on older individuals with insomnia [11]

By boosting melatonin levels naturally, this extract helps users fall asleep faster and experience deeper sleep, making them an excellent inclusion in our blend.

Passionflower Extract

Passionflower is a well-researched herbal remedy primarily used to manage anxiety and improve sleep. The plant contains bioactive compounds that enhance levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which slows down overactive thoughts and reduces restlessness.

A study demonstrated that participants who drank passionflower tea for seven days experienced significant improvements in sleep quality compared to a placebo group [12].

Additionally, a clinical trial on patients awaiting surgery found that passionflower helped reduce preoperative anxiety without the side effects typically associated with sedative drugs [13].

Passionflower acts as a natural anxiolytic, and thereby shortens the time it takes to fall asleep and promotes more restful sleep.

Magnesium (as Citrate)

Magnesium is vital for relaxation and sleep due to its role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system responsible for calming the body.

This mineral helps enhance the production of melatonin, the hormone that governs sleep-wake cycles, and supports muscle relaxation by managing calcium flow in cells.

A study showed that elderly individuals who were supplemented with magnesium reported better sleep quality, less insomnia, and improved levels of melatonin [14].

Magnesium citrate, in particular, is a highly absorbable form that can help resolve magnesium deficiency, which has been linked to poor sleep and restlessness [15].

Hawthorn Leaf Extract

Traditionally used for heart health, hawthorn also supports relaxation by calming the nervous system.

It contains flavonoids that act as antioxidants, reducing inflammation and supporting circulation, which can help the body transition to a more relaxed state.

Although studies on hawthorn's direct effects on sleep are limited, its ability to reduce anxiety has been studied more with consistent findings of having a positive effect on anxiety, especially when combined with other supplements such as magnesium. [16] [17] [18] [19]

It also contains flavonoids that may benefit the heart, dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow, and protect blood vessels from damage. [20]

Hops Flower Extract

Hops, commonly associated with beer production, are also known for their sedative properties.

Research shows that hops increase sleep duration and reduce night-time awakenings, especially when combined with valerian root. [21]

Xanthohumol, a compound found in hops, has also been found to help improve sleep by boosting the activity of GABA [22], a calming neurotransmitter in the brain. It does this by interacting with GABAA receptors, which play a key role in relaxation and reducing brain activity to help you fall asleep.

Lion’s Mane

Although Lion’s Mane is more commonly recognised for its neuroprotective and cognitive benefits, it also plays a role in promoting a balanced mood and reducing anxiety.

Lion’s Mane supports the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which helps maintain brain health and can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

By calming the mind, it creates a better environment for sleep. A small study [23] was conducted on Japanese women experiencing various health issues, including menopausal symptoms and sleep disturbances. Participants were divided into two groups: one group consumed cookies containing Lion’s Mane extract, while the other group received placebo cookies for four weeks.

The results showed that the women who ate the Lion’s Mane cookies experienced a noticeable reduction in stress and depressive symptoms compared to the placebo group. Researchers suggest that the active compounds in Lion’s Mane mushrooms, known as hericenones and erinacines, may play a role in these mood-improving and stress-relieving effects.

Reishi Mushroom Extract

Reishi, known as the "mushroom of immortality" in traditional Asian medicine, has been used for centuries to promote longevity, vitality, and balance.

It’s also been found to improve the immune system [24], and another study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Ganopoly (a polysaccharide extract of Reishi) in Chinese patients with neurasthenia. It was found that the treatment group showed significant improvements in fatigue and overall well-being, with a 15.5% reduction in severity and a 28.3% reduction in fatigue compared to the placebo group. [30]

A 2012 study focused on individuals with breast cancer found that after four weeks of taking reishi mushroom powder, participants experienced significant improvements in fatigue, anxiety, and depression.[25]

Reishi prepares the body for a deep, peaceful sleep and can be particularly helpful for those who experience frequent waking due to stress.

Rosemary Extract

Rosemary is traditionally known for its cognitive-enhancing effects, but it also contains compounds that reduce cortisol levels and help ease mental stress.

Although research on rosemary’s direct effects on sleep is limited, its ability to relieve stress and calm the mind suggests it can support better sleep by reducing mental distractions.

A relatively recent study in 2020, involving 42 Japanese men with mood disorders found that taking rosemary extract for four weeks enhanced both mental energy and sleep quality [26]. making it a promising supplement for sleep, which is why it’s featured in Verve Eclipse Duo.
