What's inside?

We use natural and organic ingredients where possible. Lovingly made and bottled in Canada - with domestic and imported ingredients.

Organic Chamomile

Organic Chamomile is the champion of the herbal world when it comes to relaxation. It’s included as the primary "off-switch" for your busy day.

It's primarily for:

  • Apigenin Activation: Chamomile contains a unique antioxidant called apigenin, which binds to specific receptors in your brain that decrease anxiety and initiate sleepiness.
  • Muscular Relaxation: It acts as a mild antispasmodic, helping to soothe physical tension in the body and relax your digestive system so you aren’t kept awake by "restless" nerves.
  • Cortisol Management: Sipping chamomile helps signal to your endocrine system to lower cortisol levels - the "stress hormone" - allowing your natural melatonin production to take over.
  • Clean Sourcing: By using the organic form, we ensure you’re getting a potent concentration of the flower’s essential oils without any pesticide residue that could interfere with your body’s detoxification.

Lavender

Lavender is the ultimate sensory signal that the day is over. It’s included to turn your evening drink into a full-body relaxation experience.

It is included becaus:

  • Linalool Power: Lavender contains linalool, a natural compound that interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA to quiet the brain and reduce the "chatter" of a busy mind.
  • Reduced Sleep Latency: Clinical studies suggest that the scent and flavor of lavender can help you fall asleep faster -a process known as reducing "sleep latency" - by slowing down your heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
  • Anxiety Suppression: It acts as a natural anxiolytic (anxiety-reducer), smoothing out the jagged edges of a stressful day so you can drift off without overthinking.
  • Aromatic Synergy: When paired with chamomile, lavender creates a "flavour fragrance" that prepares your limbic system - the part of the brain that controls emotions - to enter a state of deep rest.

Trimagnesium Citrate

Trimagnesium Citrate is the "physical relaxant" of the formula. While chamomile and lavender quiet the mind, this high-absorption form of magnesium focuses on prepping your body for deep, uninterrupted rest.

Here is why it is included for sleep:

  • Muscle & Nerve Relaxation: Magnesium helps regulate muscle contractions by blocking "calcium signals" that cause tension. It allows your muscles to physically let go, reducing the chances of nighttime cramps or restlessness.
  • GABA Regulation: It plays a direct role in maintaining healthy levels of GABA, the neurotransmitter responsible for "turning off" wakefulness and calming the nervous system.
  • Superior Bioavailability: The "citrate" form is bonded with citric acid, making it significantly easier for your body to absorb compared to cheaper magnesium oxides. This ensures the magnesium actually reaches your cells before your head hits the pillow.
  • Cortisol Regulation: Magnesium helps bridge the gap between stress and sleep by helping to regulate the body's stress response system, preventing "tired but wired" feelings.

L-theanine

L-Theanine is the "zen" ingredient that creates a calm, focused state of mind without any grogginess. It’s included to help you transition from the chaos of the day into a peaceful evening headspace.

Here is why it is important for your sleep ritual:

  • Alpha Brain Wave Boost: L-Theanine is an amino acid (commonly found in green tea) that promotes alpha brain waves. These are the same brain waves present during deep meditation or "flow states," allowing you to feel relaxed but mentally clear.
  • Anxiety Decompression: It works by mimicking the actions of GABA, helping to block excitatory signals in the brain. This effectively "mutes" the background noise of a racing mind and prevents late-night overthinking.
  • Enhanced Sleep Quality: While it doesn’t act as a sedative, research shows it improves the quality of your sleep, so you wake up feeling more refreshed and less "heavy" than you might with traditional sleep aids.
  • Anti-Stress Synergy: When combined with magnesium, L-Theanine creates a synergistic effect that lowers your resting heart rate and reduces the physiological markers of stress.
