Brief Summary  
Prevalence of sleep disorder/deprivation is increasing at the alarming levels among the Indian population. Insufficient sleep is a public health epidemic that is often unrecognized and under-reported. The effects of sleep disorders on the body are widely varied across multiple body systems. There are pharmacotherapies to aid in sleep but often are accompanied by adverse events. The micronutrient and phytotherapy supplementation are gaining interest as a sustainable way of handling sleep disorders. In order to validate the hypothesis of usefulness of such interventions in insomnia disorder, BSG is a novel formula tasty gummy format, rather than a pill for better subject compliance.

It is comprising herbal extract, vitamin B6 along with melatonin, which are thought to be effective in management of insomnia and related symptoms.

The present research is an attempt of clinical validation of BSG in subjects suffering from insomnia disorder. With the present research we can apply the knowledge from phytotherapy and nutrition along with the clinical trials to address important medical needs in insomnia subjects to improve sleep. There is need to do primary translational work earliest & focus at some targeted aim and come up with a formulation for same to improve sleep quality and quantity, to improve daytime function, reduction of distress and changes associated with insomnia like fatigue, perceived stress, mood, cortisol and dopamine levels. Which could be achieved through the present research. We can utilize these outcomes to develop a strategy for treating insomnia in more appropriate and assured way.
