Getting a decent night’s sleep has never been important, which is why an entirely new range of supplement has surfaced online: the sleep gummy.
As the name suggests, these supplements include chewable vitamins and minerals that are supposed to send you off to slumber quick and easy. They aim to promote healthy sleeping habits, and contain ingredients such as melatonin, magnesium, 5-HTP and valerian root.
But getting your hands on this new product can be a bit of a chore in Dubai and the UAE, especially if you are wary of visiting the local pharmacy.
Here then is the best way to go about researching and sourcing these supplements in the UAE.
First, something to be aware of: most sleep gummies available in the UAE contain all-natural products. Nothing chemically added here.
The ingredients that have been proven to work best include valerian root, lavender, lemon balm, chamomile and passion flower. These help you off to sleep in a variety of ways, from calming anxiety to setting stomach digestion (which can lead to reduced sleep).
All of these ingredients are available in many UAE pharmacists already – so if you are really having trouble sourcing a particular sleep gummy in Dubai, your best bet might be to look up their active ingredients and source something similar.
Traditional Pharmacies
The quickest and easiest way to pick up a sleep gummy in the UAE is in one of the many physical pharmacies.
Some of the biggest include Life Pharmacy, 800 Pharmacy, Al Manara Pharmacy and Super Car pharmacy. All four of these have products to support sleep with nutrition and vitamins, including chewable sleep gummies.
The added bonus to a physical location over an online one, is that you can be sure to receive expert advice on how to use sleep supplements, from the registered pharmacist.
Online Delivery
If you are looking for a particular brand outside of those stocked by the pharmacies mentioned above, then using one of the UAE’s online retailers is your best bet.
Currently, amazon.ae, noon.com, ounass.ae and whizz.ae and desertcart.ae all stock sleep gummies, as well as supplements to help you sleep. Brands such as Olly, Natrol, Zarbee’s and SugarBear are all available online in the UAE.
Standard shipping rates and time vary via online ordering.
