CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND – MAY 25: Dairy farmer Leon Doherty milks cows at night at Synlait dairy farm on May 25, 2015 in Christchurch, New Zealand. New Zealand-based dairy producer, Synlait, has commercialised a dairy-based milk powder said to aid in sleeplessness by collecting milk from cattle in the dark hours of the night when the animal’s production of the melatonin hormone is at its highest. A clinical trial conducted by Otago University’s WellSleep Centre and part-funded by Synlait, proved the product, iNdream3, is a sleep-promoting ingredient. iNDream3 has been sold in Korea since January of this year.
