Oxy Sleep Review

April 30, 2017 By Editor

Oxy Sleep Review

Oxy Sleep is a fat-burning supplement by EHP Labs, which also provides hormone and sleep support.

It’s designed to assist with overnight fat-loss, as well as improving sleep quality and testosterone levels.

EHP Labs is an American supplement company which was founded in 2011. They produce a huge range of supplements, including everything from fat-burners to protein powders.

Ingredients Label

Active Ingredients

ZMA

ZMA refers to the combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 – a stack which is very popular in the fitness world.

Zinc can increase testosterone levels if you are deficient, while vitamin B6 may improve it’s absorption (1, 2).

Magnesium enhances quality of sleep, which is tied to greater testosterone production.

5HTP

5HTP is a precursor to an important neurotransmitter called serotonin.

It’s been shown to significantly reduce appetite when taken with food, as well as reducing sleep terrors (3, 4).

Camomile

Camomile is a plant from the daisy family, that’s well-known for its use as a tea.

It can improve sleep quality in the short-term, although this may become less effective with long-term use (5).

Valerian Root

Valerian is a flowering plant, whose root can be used for its sedative effects.

This sedation can make it easier to go to sleep (6).

Theanine

Theanine is a relaxing agent found in green tea.

An effective dose is 100-200mg.

Green Tea

Green tea extract is one of the most-researched fat-burning agents, and may boost fat oxidation by up to 17% (7).

An effective dose is 400-500mg.

CLA

CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid.

This is a type of fatty acid that may increase fat oxidation, without affecting metabolic rate (8).

Raspberry Ketone

Raspberry ketone, although initially used for scent and flavouring, may also work as a fat-burner.

It’s shown promise in studies using rats, but we’re not sure how well it works in humans yet.

Chromium

Chromium is an essential mineral.

It’s been shown to both supress appetite and lower blood sugar levels (9, 10).

An effective dose is between 500 and 1,000mcg.

Phenibut

Phenibut is a central depressant which is commonly used to treat anxiety and insomnia (11).

Alpha HICA

Alpha HICA is a metabolite of leucine, the branched chain amino acid.

It has shown promise in promoting muscle growth in the same way that leucine does, but we don’t yet know if it’s more effective than leucine itself.

Who Takes It?

Athletes wanting a supplement to assist with fat-loss as well as sleep quality will benefit from using Oxy Sleep.

How to Take

Mix 1 scoop (4.6g) of Oxy Sleep with 300mL of cold water, and consume 15 minutes before sleeping.

Side Effects

Multiple ingredients in Oxy Sleep are designed to cause sedation. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery when you have consumed Oxy Sleep.

Pros

  • A variety of sleeping-aids are included to improve both quickness of falling asleep and sleep quality
  • Testosterone support in the form of ZMA is a nice extra benefit.

Cons

  • Only a few fat-burning compounds are used in the formula compared to other fat-burners – this is most likely because they are the select few that do not interfere with sleep.

Conclusion

Oxy Sleep in an interesting take on fat-burners, since sleeping isn’t the primary time we’d usually target to increase fat-loss.

It does, however, include a variety of fat-burning ingredients that should have positive effects on your weight-loss goals, as well as providing an excellent boost to your sleep quality.

Both this and the zinc component may considerably improve testosterone levels, especially if you usually have trouble sleeping.
