Sleep Support Explained: Inside Our Nighttime Formula
Share
If you've landed on our Sleep Support product page and wondered exactly what you're taking and why, this is the breakdown.
What's Actually In Our Formula
Full transparency, every serving (2 capsules):
- Vitamin B6, 1.8mg — involved in normal nervous system function
- Calcium, 17mg and Magnesium, 13mg — supporting muscle and nervous system function
- Melatonin, 10mg — the hormone your body naturally produces to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle
- Sleep Support Proprietary Blend, 905mg — L-Tryptophan, Lycium fruit, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Passion Flower, L-Taurine, Hops, St. John's Wort, GABA, Chinese Skullcap, L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, Inositol, and 5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia)
That's a genuinely comprehensive formula — more botanicals in one blend than most sleep supplements on the market. We'll walk through the categories below, but there's one ingredient in that list that deserves its own callout before anything else.
An Important Note on St. John's'sort
Our formula includes St. John's Wort, a botanical traditionally associated with mood support. Here's the part that matters more than the tradition: St. John's Wort has well-documented interactions with a range of common medications, including:
- Hormonal birth control (can reduce effectiveness)
- Antidepressants, including SSRIs
- Blood thinners
- Immunosuppressants
- Certain other prescription medications
This isn't a small-print caution — it's one of the more clinically significant supplement-medication interactions that exists, and it's the single most important thing to know before starting this product.
If you take any prescription medication, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Sleep Support. This applies even if the medication seems unrelated to sleep.
The Rest of the Formula, By Category
Sleep-cycle regulation: Melatonin is the most direct sleep-related ingredient here — it's the hormone your body already produces as part of its natural sleep-wake signaling.
Calming botanicals: Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Passion Flower, and Hops are traditional calming botanicals, often used in teas and evening rituals for their association with relaxation.
Amino acids and calming compounds: L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP are both precursors involved in the body's serotonin pathway. GABA and L-Theanine are compounds studied for their association with calmness and relaxation. Taurine is an amino acid involved in several nervous system processes.
Adaptogenic support: Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, traditionally used to support the body's response to everyday stress.
Minerals and micronutrients: Magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B6 all play supporting roles in normal nervous system function.
Who It's For
This formula is designed for adults looking to support:
- Relaxation
- Natural sleep cycles
- Calmness
- Normal nervous system function
It's a nighttime formula, not a sedative — the goal is supporting your body's own wind-down process, not knocking you out.
How To Take It
The suggested use is two capsules, taken 20–30 minutes before bedtime with water, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
As with any supplement, if you're pregnant, nursing, under 18, or managing a medical condition, talk to a healthcare professional before starting — and again, this matters especially here given the St. John's Wort interaction profile. Keep out of reach of children, and don't use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
