What it is for
Three actives, three different jobs
Sleep and stress are the same problem seen from two ends. The actives below are not sedatives. They work on the systems that decide whether you can wind down, which is why they take a few weeks rather than one night.
01
Magnesium glycinate
The glycinate form, not oxide. Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed. Glycinate is the one the sleep research is done on and the one that does not upset your stomach.
02
Ashwagandha
An adaptogen studied for its effect on cortisol. It works on the stress response over weeks, so it is a daily habit rather than something you take on a bad night.
03
Valerian root
Long used for getting to sleep rather than staying asleep. It is the most noticeable of the three in the short term.

What to expect
How long it actually takes
1 week
Getting to sleep. Valerian is the fastest acting of the three and you may feel it sooner.
4 to 6 weeks
The stress response. Ashwagandha works on a system that adjusts slowly.
Every day
Taken nightly, not on the nights you already know will be bad.
Precautions are printed on every label. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking chronic medication, speak to your pharmacist before you start.
