摘要

Disclosed are a composition for positively allosterically modulating GABA_A-benzodiazepine receptor and a composition for inducing and producing hypnosis and sedation, containing one or more extract(s) selected from a group consisting of Ecklonia cava extract and Ecklonia kurome extract. Since the Ecklonia cava extract and the Ecklonia kurome extract have affinity for the GABA_A-benzodiazepine receptor, a composition containing the same as an effective ingredient provides the effect of inducing and producing hypnosis and sedation. Since substances obtained from natural products are used, the composition is safe and does not result in adverse reactions. Further, it is very useful as a functional food for inducing and producing hypnosis and sedation.
