What Are The Ingredients In The Klova Melatonin Sleep Patch?

We were sceptical when we heard about the Sleep ZPatch and were a bit unsure that the ingredients would cut the mustard for our high standards on recovery and sleep supplements. We kind of had in our heads the image of smoking patches to help quit smoking. But, when we saw the ingredients list in the Klova Sleep we realised we could sleep easy. What makes thes sleep patches work so well is the quality of ingredients and the method in which they are released into the body. The calming blend of 10 nature-inspired ingredients on each ZPatch are some we have spoken about in depth in some of our other articles on sleep supplements and have been scientifically backed by research to be effective for improving sleep.

A unique combination of naturally occurring and essential sleep ingredients in the Klova Sleep patches make them ideal for sleep and far superior for your health than sleeping pills.

Melatonin

Naturally occurring hormone commonly used as a natural sleep aid. Melatonin is often called the sleep hormone, and for good reason.

Hops

A plant commonly used to reduce anxiety and sleep disorders. The ZPatch is gluten free. Occasionally, people believe that the ingredient HOPS has gluten, which, in fact, it does not.

5-HTP

Naturally occurring chemical known to enhance mood and promote relaxation

Valerian

A root known to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation

Passion Flower

Known to help with insomnia and reduce inflammation and anxiety

L-Theanine

An amino acid known to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep

Magnesium BHB

Known to calm nerves & reduce anxiety

GABA

A naturally occurring neurotransmitter known to reduce anxiety & improve sleep

Cosmoperine

Naturally derived from black pepper, it's used to increase the absorption of drugs and nutrients through the skin.

Skullcap

Known to reduce anxiety, soothe the nervous system, balance hormones and regulate sleep.

How To Use The Klova Sleep Patch

There really isn't a whole lot to using the Klova Sleep patches. The benefit of using the sleep patch is there is no confusion with how much to take and dosage requirements. With traditional sleep supplements in pill and powder form it is often difficult to know how many to take and spoon in the correct dose respectively. Often with powders they don’t come with a measuring scoop so you may be under or over dosing yourself with supplements that can actually be ineffective or detrimental to your sleep.

The Klova Sleep ZPatches come in a super simple calendar style system with 28 days supply, so one for each night of the month. When we used the patches we were marking off the calendar with each night of using the sleep patches while also creating a short sleep diary as we went to see how the effects compounded on sleep over time. You can place the patch just about anywhere, but most users prefer the top of the foot, shoulder, abdomen, calf or forearm. The ideal location is a clean, hairless part of the body. On their website, Klova recommends shaving the area where the patch will be placed because “even peach fuzz can affect the ingredient delivery”.

At about 1-2 hours before bedtime simply peel off a patch, stick it on the desired location, and you’ll start to feel the effects within 20-60 minutes. We generally went for the side of the shoulder. The top of the foot was a little problematic as we found that when the feet and legs brush against each other through the night the patches can crinkle and come off the skin. The patch can be peeled off and discarded in the morning with the excess natural adhesive washed off with soap, body wash or rubbing alcohol.

What Are The Benefits Of Melatonin Sleep Patch?

The benefits of using the Klova Sleep ZPatch are already well known and even well studied in terms of the ingredients used and the study group used specifically to test Klova products. As we mentioned earlier, one of the benefits of using the sleep patch is the fact that you are receiving a standardised dose in each patch. The melatonin content is the main ingredient that provides a regulation of the circadian rhythm and sleep cycle, which can be extremely beneficial in setting the body clock for sleep and wake times.

The ingredients like hops, valerian and passion flower in the sleep patches give the benefit of promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety to better prepare the mind for sleep. It is difficult to isolate the feeling that is brought on by different ingredients when using a combination supplement but when we were testing the sleep patches we noticed a distinct calming feeling that is typically brought on with other L-theanine containing sleep supplements. The L-theanine gives a really light and floaty feeling to the body in our experience which has benefits for letting go of stress and tension and preparing for bed and a smooth transition into sleep.

Who Is The Klova Sleep Patch Best For?

Couples

Couples often struggle with sleeping in the same bed together which can have negative impacts on mental state, relationships, energy levels, physical recovery from exercise and injury, libido and stress. The common struggles and gripes with couples experiencing sleep disturbances from each other include issues around temperature, blanket stealing, snoring, sleepwalking and sleep talking. The Klova Sleep ZPatch can help couples to sleep better with each other by promoting a more restful sleep without movement and periods of waking. As for the temperature issue, we written about hacking sleep temperature in some of our other articles by using smart temperature controlling mattress toppers like the Chilipad that can be used in both the ME (single configuration) or the WE setup (couples configuration), allowing you to set you matress temperature to the degree/farenheit.

Jetsetters

Jetlag is a common issue surrounding sleep after changing time zones after a flight or multiple flights. Jet lag can be debilitating and have long term effects on energy levels as the body tries to adjust to a different wake-sleep requirement. Melatonin, the main ingredient in Klova Sleep Zpatch is the most common way to more rapidly set the body to a new time zone. The patches release the ingredients over 6 hours of sleep but the effects don’t linger in the morning so there is no groggy, foggy feeling after sleep.

Biohackers

Biohackers are constantly looking for ways to improve their sleep and promote optimal function and human potential. The Klova Sleep patches are a game changer for getting the sleep that biohackers know is the ultimate key to unlocking the best health and the highest possible performance. Whether the sleep patches are used in the short term or long term, there is evidence to support the positive effect that the patches have on both sleep quality and quantity.

Sleep Disturbances

The evidence that the ingredients in Klova Sleep ZPatches have been shown to decrease sleep disturbances and improve sleep is old news to the experts. This sleep meta-analysis demonstrates that melatonin decreases sleep onset latency, increases total sleep time and improves overall sleep quality. The unique combination of ingredients that are released throughout the night ensure that the stage is set for the best sleep conditions.

Military and First Responders

Shift workers often have the worst sleeping habits out of any style of work. The nature of the hours of work make it difficult or impossible to set a regular sleep habit and establish healthy sleep patterns. One of the main factors that determine quality of sleep is setting a regular waking and sleep timing, which is next to impossible when doing shift work and irregular and demanding hours associated with military and first responder like emergency services, firefighters, paramedics and police. This sleep study of shift workers suggests that “Work hours that displace sleep to the daytime and work to the nighttime will interfere with the circadian and homeostatic regulation of sleep”.

The Klova Sleep ZPatches could be a lifesaver for shift workers who struggle to get restful sleep due to demanding hours, irregular routine and stressful working conditions. For those working in these high paced, high stress, high focus and highly dangerous settings, often poor sleep has high or fatal consequences. Ingredients in the sleep patches like 5-HTP, GABA and Magnesium BHB are naturally occurring chemicals and neurotransmitters that are known to reduce anxiety, calm nerves and enhance mood to promote relaxation.

Are There Any Risks Of Using Sleep Patches For Sleep?

As we always recommend, for medical advice seek a professional. There are risks with using any supplement as every individual is different. Generally, the Klova Sleep ZPatches are safe for pretty much anyone to use. Many of the limitations on use revolve around the ingredient melatonin, with the other natural ingredients being quite safe to use and without great risk.

Some research suggests that there may be evidence that prolonged use of melatonin based supplements can limit the body's ability to produce it naturally. This would raise obvious concerns about our naturally occuring rhythms and how effective we are at getting to sleep when we stop taking such sleep supplements, however, we would suggest that to alleviate this it would be suitable to use the month's supply and have periods of non-use to follow. However, further to this, there are also studies to dispute this suggestion of dependence on melatonin.

In general, animal and human studies documented that short-term use of melatonin is safe, even in extreme doses. Only mild adverse effects, such as dizziness, headache, nausea and sleepiness have been reported. It is also important to note that melatonin can interact with antidepressants, blood thinning medications and blood pressure medications in a way that would require a medical professional to give advice as to whether the Klova Sleep patches would be suitable for you.
