L-Tryptophan:
An amino acid that interacts with those brain chemicals important to sleep and the timing of your biological clock's cycle. L-Tryptophan coverts into a molecule called 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), which is used to make serotonin and melatonin, the molecules needed for a great nights sleep.
Magnesium:
An essential mineral, maintaining healthy magnesium levels often leads to deeper, restorative, more sound sleep by maintaining healthy levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep. Magnesium can also help insomnia that’s linked to the sleep disorder restless-leg syndrome.
L-Theanine:
An amino acid that promotes relaxation and facilitates sleep. By elevating levels of GABA, as well as serotonin and dopamine. L-Theanine reduces the levels of chemicals in the brain that are linked to stress and anxiety, helping people fall asleep more quickly.
L-Glycine:
Considered among the most important amino acids for the body. Research shows L-Glycine elevates serotonin and melatonin, which in turn reduces sleep onset, the symptoms of insomnia and improves sleep quality.
L-Taurine:
An amino acid that reduces cortisol levels and increases the production of GABA, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, essentially our bodies’ natural “off” switch. Taurine is also shown to help carry Magnesium across the blood brain barrier, allow for further relaxation.
Bioperine®:
Is a proprietary form of piperine. Shown to significantly improve the absorption of ingredients and improve the performance of the supplement.

Please also note this is designed to be a sleep aid. If you struggle consistently with extremely poor sleep, we recommend speaking with your doctor or medical provider.
