Founded by passionate health and wellness entrepreneur Andy Carmody, CS2™ is on a mission to revolutionise sleep and performance. Combining the latest in sleep science with premium, all-natural ingredients, CS2™ empowers individuals to achieve faster, deeper, and more restorative sleep and in-turn optimum performance, writes Cameron Pine.
Sleep supplements play an important role not just for individuals who struggle with falling or staying asleep, but to build consistent sleep patterns that suit various lifestyle factors and strenuous daily commitments. CS2 understands that for supplements to be effective, the underlying cause of the sleep issue needs to be understood but also the physical stress and aggressors of a modern lifestyle often deplete the body of essential ingredients for peak performance.
Functioning as an everyday lifestyle drink and not just sleep supplement, some of the world’s top achievers are turning to CS2™ for enhanced focus and recovery – flipping the coin on sleep patterns to ensure it’s not just about the hours sleeping, but the quality of deep REM restful sleep and the ability to perform at their best during the day without that ever so common lack in energy.
“Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested; it’s the foundation of peak performance,” Carmody emphasises. “Whether you’re an athlete, a business leader, or someone juggling a busy lifestyle, CS2™ can help you unlock your full potential. It significantly reduces the time it takes to fall asleep while improving the quality of restorative sleep and recovery. What’s more, it’s made from natural ingredients, so it’s safe for daily use without the risk of dependency,” Andy said.
“CS2™ was born out of my personal quest to overcome sleep deprivation and achieve peak performance in every aspect of life,” he said.
The science-backed formula of CS2™ combines six powerful ingredients; Magnesium Glycinate – calms the nervous system promoting relaxation, Ashwaganda; a natural adaptogen that lowers cortisol levels and reduces stress, L-Theanine; found naturally in green tea, Inositol; supports healthy brain function and neurotransmitter balance, helping to alleviate anxiety and improve sleep quality, Apigenin; a flavonoid that binds to brain receptors to produce a calming effect, helping regulate the sleep-wake cycle, Vitamin B6 – a crucial role in producing serotonin and melatonin – key hormones that regular mood and sleep patterns. With overstimulation being a key problem that hinders rest, especially at night, with the help of the right ingredients the body has more chance of falling asleep naturally. Regulating blood-pressure, reducing inflammation and improving reproductive health are all dependent on sleep quality.
Ashwagandha remains a key hero in regulating health and sleep patterns, known for a variety of health benefits, particularly in managing stress and promoting overall well-being. Some of Ashwaganda’s most studied benefits include It has anti-inflammatory effects, partly due to its ability to suppress inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), while also boosting testosterone in men.
Let’s revisit some of the key reasons that adequate sleep is essential. Not only does it allow your body and mind to recover, repair, and function properly, it makes you look your best too – here are six reasons why better sleep matters:
- Cognitive Function: Sleep improves memory, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Poor sleep can impair attention and concentration, especially on long work-days where you are on your feet all day or required to perform, teach or maintain mental clarity throughout the day.
- Emotional Health: Sleep helps regulate mood and reduce the risk of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability, and when you have emotional pressures from those around you also, your ability to cope is severely diminished.
- Physical Health: During sleep, the body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and balances hormones that regulate hunger, stress, and growth – farewell those sugar cravings!
- Metabolism and Weight Control: Lack of sleep disrupts hormones like leptin and ghrelin, increasing appetite and risk of overeating and consuming higher fat containing foods.
- Heart Health: Consistently good sleep lowers the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
- Safety and Performance: Sleep deprivation increases the risk of accidents and lowers performance in work, study, and sports, and accidents usually lead to time of work and added stress.
From magnesium, to L-Theanine to Glycine, a strong cocktail of neurotransmitter regulators, muscle-relaxing and calming properties studied by the CS2™ experts are essential for everyday function, and they also have mood-stabilising effects that minimise depression. Maybe you’re not tired or depressed or burnt out – you just need to upgrade your sleep quality.
