A simple daily botanical strip for busy show and session weeks.

Encore is a mango-orange oral strip for creatives: musicians, producers, performers, visual artists and writers who want one easy step in their daily routine. Each strip carries seven botanicals with roots in traditional Ayurvedic practice, including turmeric, chicory and amla.

No water, no mixing. One strip dissolves on your tongue, once a day, at whatever time fits your schedule.

Strip deal: add a second tin and it's 50% off at checkout. Each tin holds 30 strips, so two tins cover 60 days at one strip a day.

The Creative's Advantage.

What's Inside

Per strip: date palm 20 mg, turmeric 20 mg, chicory 15 mg, andrographis 15 mg, grape 15 mg, Phyllanthus niruri 15 mg, Phyllanthus emblica (amla) 15 mg.

Worth knowing: these amounts are well below what most studies used, and the human evidence on andrographis and Phyllanthus niruri is limited. See the Research section for the honest version.

Made for the routine: a fast-dissolving strip fits a day that doesn't always include a full glass of water and twenty spare minutes.

Ingredients & Safety

Flavor: Mango-Orange

Ingredients: Phoenix Dactylifera extract, Curcuma Longa extract, Andrographis paniculata extract, Cichorium intybus extract, Vitis Vinifera extract, Phyllanthus Niruri extract, Phyllanthus Emblica extract. Other ingredients: Pullulan, Cellulose, Mannitol, Licorice extract, Lecithin, Malic Acid, Mango Flavor, Steviol Glycosides, Orange Flavor.

Suggested Use: Place one oral strip on your tongue and allow it to dissolve. Take one oral strip anytime, up to a maximum of 1 strip a day.

Caution: Do not use if under age 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended dose. Consult a physician before use if you have a known medical condition.

Licorice Caution: This product contains licorice extract. Licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium, and those effects build with regular use rather than appearing after a single dose. Do not use this product regularly if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease or low potassium. Talk to your doctor before use if you take blood pressure medication or diuretics — licorice works against both — or if you take corticosteroids or digoxin, where the potassium effect raises the risk. Not recommended during pregnancy. The amount of licorice in this product is not disclosed by the manufacturer, so we cannot tell you how much you are getting; if you also consume licorice tea or licorice candy, count this alongside them.

Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

The Research

Real sourcing behind Encore — and what the evidence does and doesn't support:

Curcumin & Antioxidant Support — A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (4 studies, 308 participants) found curcumin supplementation significantly increased total antioxidant capacity. Worth knowing: curcumin has notably poor bioavailability on its own — most of the strongest curcumin research pairs it with piperine (black pepper extract) to meaningfully boost absorption, and that pairing isn't present in this formula. (Source: peer-reviewed meta-analysis, National Library of Medicine)

Andrographis Paniculata — a safety note — Andrographis is a traditional botanical, and we make no liver claims for it. In the most relevant human study we found, a 2022 cross-sectional study of more than 800 people in Thailand, regular Andrographis users had higher ALT readings (a liver enzyme) than non-users. If you have a liver condition or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor before using Encore. (Source: Scientific Reports cross-sectional study, National Library of Medicine)

Phyllanthus Niruri & Antioxidant Support — In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (71 participants analyzed), 4 weeks of Phyllanthus niruri significantly raised total antioxidant levels compared to placebo. Participants were patients with a medical condition rather than healthy adults, so the result doesn't speak directly to everyday use. Safety data across multiple trials has been consistently good. (Source: peer-reviewed RCT, National Library of Medicine)

Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla) & Chicory — Both are traditionally valued for antioxidant content (amla is particularly notable for natural vitamin C) and are the subject of ongoing preclinical research, though we didn't find human clinical trials for either that match how Encore is used at the time of writing.

Dissolve the Noise. Not Your Edge.

Backstage nerves. A tense note during rehearsal. The five minutes before a client call you're dreading. Not every stressful moment calls for a whole routine — sometimes you just need thirty seconds and a strip. Unwind Strips are built for exactly that: a fast-dissolving strawberry-peppermint strip with L-theanine, GABA, and vitamin B6, formulated to support your body's natural response to occasional stress without slowing you down.

No water, no capsule, no waiting around. Place one strip on your tongue, let it dissolve, and get back to it.

One strip a day, whenever you need it most.

The Creative's Advantage.

Why It Works

Calm Without the Fog L-theanine, an amino acid naturally found in green tea, is studied for supporting a relaxed state while helping maintain mental clarity — calm that doesn't come at the cost of focus.

Nervous System Support GABA plays a role in supporting the body's natural relaxation response and normal nervous system activity.

Steady Neurotransmitter Function Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy metabolism and nervous system function, including the synthesis of neurotransmitters involved in mood and stress response.

Built for the Moment A fast-dissolving strip means support that fits into a thirty-second gap between soundcheck and stage — no water, no waiting.

The Research

Real sourcing behind Unwind Strips — here's what the science says about the formula:

L-Theanine & Relaxation — In a 4-week randomized controlled trial, adults taking 200 mg of L-theanine daily reported lower stress scores and better sleep-quality scores than placebo. Other human research has linked L-theanine to increased alpha brain wave activity — a pattern associated with calm, wakeful relaxation — within about an hour of intake. (Source: National Library of Medicine)

GABA & Stress — Human trials on oral GABA report reduced subjective stress and stress biomarkers after intake; in one study, adults who consumed 50 mg of GABA reported less occupational fatigue after completing demanding tasks, compared to placebo. Worth knowing: whether oral GABA meaningfully crosses the blood-brain barrier is still scientifically debated, and researchers increasingly suspect the effect works through gut-brain and peripheral nervous system pathways rather than direct entry into the brain. (Source: Frontiers in Neuroscience systematic review; Kanehira et al., National Library of Medicine)

Vitamin B6 & Nervous System Function — Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme in more than 100 enzymatic reactions in the body, including the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that are directly involved in mood and stress regulation. (Source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements)

Calm Nerves. Sharp Focus. Deep Rest.

Every creative practice needs a floor — the baseline you return to before a big session, a stage, or a stretch of back-to-back deadlines. Grounded is that floor: organic ashwagandha root, paired with black pepper to support absorption, in a clean two-ingredient formula built for one job — helping your body handle stress without dulling your edge.

Ashwagandha is one of the most studied adaptogens in Ayurvedic medicine, used for centuries to support the body's resilience to everyday stress. Grounded keeps it simple: no fillers, no proprietary blends, just the root itself in an easy two-capsule-a-day ritual.

Take it daily. Feel it show up as fewer racing thoughts before bed, steadier focus through long days, and a body that recovers instead of runs down.

The Creative's Advantage.

Why It Works

Calm Under Pressure Daily ashwagandha supplementation has been studied for its ability to support the body's physiological, cognitive, and psychological response to stress — giving you a steadier baseline to work from, whether you're heading into a session or just trying to get through a demanding week.

Built-In Endurance Ashwagandha has been linked to measurable improvements in VO2 max — the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exertion — supporting the kind of stamina a physical set, a long shoot day, or back-to-back rehearsals demands.

Ashwagandha and Sleep Research Studies have looked at self-reported sleep quality, with the clearest findings in people who already slept poorly.

Sharper Focus, Better Recall Ashwagandha has been studied for its effects on cognition, memory, and reaction time — the kind of mental sharpness that matters when you're improvising, problem-solving, or just trying to stay present in the work.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Ingredients & Safety

Ingredients: Organic Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, root), Organic Black Pepper (Piper nigrum, fruit). At the suggested two capsules daily, that is 1,300 mg of ashwagandha root per day. Other ingredient: Pullulan (vegan capsule).

Allergen Statement: None of the nine major food allergens — milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame — is used as an ingredient in this product. One note if you avoid nightshades: ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) belongs to the nightshade family, alongside tomato, potato, eggplant and peppers. Nightshades are not major allergens, but if you avoid them deliberately, this product is one.

Suggested Use: Take one (1) capsule twice a day as a dietary supplement. For best results, take 20–30 minutes before a meal with an 8 oz glass of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Ashwagandha Caution: Do not use if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Ashwagandha may affect thyroid hormone levels — do not use if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication except under the direction of a healthcare professional. Ashwagandha may stimulate immune activity: consult a physician before use if you have an autoimmune condition (including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis or type 1 diabetes) or take immunosuppressant medication. Rare cases of liver injury have been reported in people taking ashwagandha supplements — stop use and consult a doctor if you develop unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Ashwagandha may increase the effects of sedatives and sleep medication.

Caution: Do not use if under age 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended dose. Consult a physician before use if you have a known medical condition.

Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

The Research

Real sourcing behind Grounded — here's what the science says about ashwagandha:

Stress Resilience & Cognitive Function — In a 30-day randomized, placebo-controlled study, adults taking daily ashwagandha root extract (225–400 mg) showed significant reductions in cortisol alongside improvements in cognitive measures including word recall, reaction time, and executive function, while the placebo group's cortisol trended upward over the same period. (Source: peer-reviewed study, National Library of Medicine / ScienceDirect)

Cardiovascular Endurance (VO2 Max) — Two separate randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials found that 8 weeks of ashwagandha root extract supplementation (300 mg twice daily) produced statistically significant improvements in VO2 max compared to placebo — one in 50 healthy athletic adults, the other in 80 adults undergoing resistance training. (Sources: PubMed 33600918; National Library of Medicine, PMC11234080)

Sleep Quality — A systematic review and meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials (400 participants) found ashwagandha extract produced a small but statistically significant improvement in overall sleep quality, with the strongest effects in adults who were already sleeping poorly, at doses of 600 mg/day or more sustained for at least 8 weeks. (Source: PLOS One, National Library of Medicine)

Extract vs. whole root — an honest caveat about the dose — Every trial cited above used a standardized ashwagandha extract, dosed and measured by its withanolide content — the KSM-66 and Sensoril category. Grounded's Supplement Facts panel lists 650 mg of organic ashwagandha root with no standardization stated, which points to whole root powder rather than a concentrated extract. The two are not interchangeable gram for gram: an extract concentrates the active withanolides several-fold, so 650 mg of root powder delivers meaningfully less active compound than 650 mg of extract would. We cite this research because it is the best available evidence for the ingredient, not because it was run on this preparation at this dose. If the manufacturer confirms a standardization, we'll state it here.

Black Pepper & Absorption — Black pepper's active compound, piperine, is one of the most well-documented bioavailability enhancers in supplement science. A landmark human trial found piperine increased absorption of curcumin (from turmeric) by as much as 2000%, largely by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for breaking compounds down before they reach circulation. That curcumin result is the best-documented example; we haven't found a human study testing whether piperine raises ashwagandha absorption specifically.

Come Down Easy.

Big nights — and big days — need a way back down. Not a crash, just a soft one. Soft Landing is magnesium glycinate: one of the most bioavailable, best-tolerated forms of magnesium available, delivering 275 mg of elemental magnesium per serving to support muscle relaxation, nervous system function, and healthy sleep patterns.

No fillers, no proprietary blend — just a clean, well-absorbed form of a mineral your body runs hundreds of reactions on, in a dose that's actually usable.

Three capsules, once daily. Most people take it in the evening, though it works whenever it fits your routine.

The Creative's Advantage.

Why It Works

Better Sleep Magnesium is involved in regulating the neurotransmitters and hormones that govern the sleep-wake cycle — support for actually winding down, not just feeling tired.

Muscle Support & Recovery Magnesium is required for normal muscle contraction and relaxation — relevant whether you're coming down from a physical performance or just sitting hunched over an instrument or a desk for six hours.

Built for Absorption Magnesium glycinate is chelated — bound to the amino acid glycine — which research has linked to better absorption and gentler digestive tolerance than harsher forms like magnesium oxide.

A Calmer Baseline Magnesium plays a role in the body's normal stress response.

Ingredients & Safety

Ingredients: Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycinate). Other ingredients: Hypromellose (capsule), Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Rice Flour.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take three (3) capsules once daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Caution: Do not use if under age 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended dose. Consult a physician before use if you have a known medical condition.

Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

The Research

Real sourcing behind Soft Landing — here's what the science says about magnesium glycinate specifically, not just magnesium in general:

Magnesium Glycinate & Sleep — A 2025 randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 155 healthy adults with self-reported poor sleep found that 250 mg of elemental magnesium (as magnesium bisglycinate) daily produced a significantly greater improvement on a standard sleep questionnaire than placebo over 4 weeks. Worth being honest about: the effect size was small, and the researchers themselves describe it as a "modest" benefit — real, but not dramatic. (Source: Nature and Science of Sleep, National Library of Medicine)

Magnesium Glycinate & Absorption — A classic comparison study found magnesium diglycinate (chelate) was absorbed more efficiently and tolerated better than magnesium oxide, particularly in people with impaired magnesium absorption. Magnesium oxide is well-documented as one of the poorest-absorbed forms (roughly 4%), while chelated/organic forms like glycinate perform substantially better — though research comparing glycinate head-to-head against other organic forms (citrate, malate) shows a less clear-cut advantage than marketing copy across the industry often implies.

Magnesium & Muscle/Nervous System Function — Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems in the body, including those governing nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction and relaxation. (Source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements)

Magnesium & Everyday Stress — A systematic review of 18 studies looked at magnesium and self-reported everyday stress; the authors called the evidence limited. (Source: Nutrients systematic review, National Library of Medicine)

Dissolve. Drift Off.

Some nights don't need a whole routine — just something that works fast enough to catch a wired mind before it spirals into 1 a.m. Drift Sleep Strips dissolve on your tongue in seconds, delivering valerian root, lavender, chamomile, hibiscus, and melatonin — ingredients with a long history of traditional and researched use for relaxation and sleep.

No water, no capsule, no thinking about it. Place one strip on your tongue before bed and let the rest take care of itself.

One strip a night, whenever the day needs closing out.

The Creative's Advantage.

Why It Works

Enhanced Sleep Quality Valerian, lavender, and chamomile are three of the most researched botanicals for sleep support, each studied for helping ease the transition into rest.

A Cue for Your Sleep Cycle Melatonin helps signal your body's natural sleep-wake rhythm — timing the "lights out" message rather than forcing sleep chemically.

Antioxidant Support Hibiscus is included mainly for its antioxidants; its sleep evidence is limited (see The Research).

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Ingredients & Safety

Flavor: Raspberry

Ingredients: Valerian root extract, Lavender extract, Chamomile extract, Hibiscus extract, Melatonin Other ingredients: Pullulan, Cellulose, Raspberry Flavor, Malic Acid, Xylitol, Lecithin, Erythritol, Sorbitol Syrup, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Steviol Glycosides.

Suggested Use: Place one oral strip on your tongue and allow it to dissolve. Take one oral strip anytime, up to a maximum of 1 strip a day.

The Research

What the research says about each ingredient in Drift:

Valerian & Sleep Quality — A systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 randomized, placebo-controlled trials (1,093 patients) found valerian associated with improved sleep quality. The review noted that many of the included studies had methodological limitations and used different doses and preparations, so the evidence is positive but not conclusive. A more recent, better-controlled 8-week randomized trial of 80 adults found similar improvements in sleep quality. (Source: American Journal of Medicine; Advances in Therapy, National Library of Medicine)

Lavender & Sleep — The best-studied form of lavender is Silexan, a standardized oral lavender oil. In pooled clinical trials it improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores more than placebo, without sedation or changes to normal sleep architecture. Drift's lavender extract hasn't been confirmed to match Silexan, so these results apply to lavender as an ingredient, not to Drift specifically. (Source: Scientific Reports network meta-analysis, National Library of Medicine)

Chamomile & Relaxation — A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials found chamomile produced a significant improvement in sleep quality. (Source: Phytotherapy Research, National Library of Medicine)

Melatonin & Circadian Rhythm — A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found melatonin supplementation reliably shifts the timing of the sleep-wake cycle and increases sleepiness when the body's natural drive to sleep is insufficient. (Source: peer-reviewed meta-analysis, National Library of Medicine)

Hibiscus — Well documented for its antioxidant content. Its sleep research is limited: most of it is in animals, and the one human trial designed to test it for sleep has published its protocol but not its results. Drift includes hibiscus as a traditional, antioxidant ingredient, not as a proven sleep aid. (Source: PMC protocol registration; animal studies, National Library of Medicine)

Wind Down. Sleep Deep. Wake Ready.

Creative work doesn't always end when you leave the stage, the studio, or the desk. The adrenaline lingers, the ideas keep firing, and falling asleep — actually asleep, not just lying there — can be its own kind of performance. Deep Restore is built for that exact handoff: a nighttime formula that helps your body downshift from "on" to "off," so tomorrow's set, session, or shoot doesn't start on a deficit.

Magnesium citrate and vitamin B6 support normal muscle and nervous system function, melatonin helps guide your natural sleep cycle, and a blend of calming botanicals — chamomile, passionflower, lemon balm, and ashwagandha — along with GABA, L-theanine, and other calming compounds work together to ease you out of the day and into real rest.

Take two capsules, 20–30 minutes before bed. Let the work stay behind you.

The Creative's Advantage.

Why It Works

Encourages Relaxation A blend of calming botanicals — chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm — has been used for generations to help ease the body and mind out of a wired, wound-up state.

Supports a Calm, Settled Mind Ashwagandha and GABA are included to help foster a sense of calm before bed, working alongside the nervous system rather than sedating it.

Supports Your Natural Sleep Cycle Melatonin helps guide your body's internal clock, supporting a more balanced and consistent sleep-wake rhythm rather than forcing sleep on top of a wired system.

Supports Nervous System & Muscle Recovery Magnesium citrate and vitamin B6 contribute to normal muscle and nervous system function — the physical side of actually recovering overnight, not just falling asleep.

Ingredients & Safety

Ingredients: Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl), Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate), Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate), Melatonin, Sleep Formula Proprietary Blend (L-Tryptophan, Lycium [Lycium barbarum] fruit, Chamomile [Matricaria chamomilla] flower, Lemon Balm [Melissa officinalis] aerial, Passion Flower [Passiflora incarnata] flower, L-Taurine, Hops [Humulus lupulus] flower, St. John's Wort [Hypericum perforatum] aerial, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), Chinese Skullcap [Scutellaria baicalensis] root, L-Theanine, Ashwagandha [Withania somnifera] root, Inositol, 5-HTP [Griffonia simplicifolia] seed) Other ingredients: Hypromellose (vegetable capsule), Magnesium Stearate (Vegetable), Silicon Dioxide.

Allergen Statement: Contains none of the nine major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame). Plant sensitivities: the blend includes chamomile (daisy and ragweed family), goji berry (a cross-reaction for some people with peach or tomato allergy), ashwagandha (a nightshade) and 5-HTP from Griffonia simplicifolia (same plant family as peanuts and soy).

About the proprietary blend: The 905 mg Sleep Formula is a proprietary blend — the manufacturer discloses the total but not the amount of each of its 14 ingredients. Labeling rules require blend ingredients to be listed in descending order by weight, which does tell you something: St. John's Wort is listed eighth of fourteen, so it cannot exceed about 113 mg per serving and is very likely well below that. For comparison, clinical trials of St. John's Wort typically use around 900 mg per day of a standardized extract. 5-HTP is listed last, so it is present in the smallest amount of the fourteen.

About the 10 mg of melatonin: This is a high dose. Most clinical research on melatonin uses 0.5–3 mg, and larger doses have not been shown to work better — they mainly raise the chance of next-day grogginess. If you are new to melatonin, start on a night when you do not need to be sharp early the next morning. Do not combine this product with Drift Sleep Strips or any other melatonin product on the same night.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules once a day. For best results, take 20–30 minutes before bedtime with an 8 oz (237ml) glass of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Medication Interaction Caution: This product contains St. John's Wort, 5-HTP and L-Tryptophan. St. John's Wort can reduce the effectiveness of many medications, including hormonal birth control, and can interact with antidepressants, blood thinners, immunosuppressants and HIV medications. St. John's Wort, 5-HTP and L-Tryptophan all affect serotonin: do not use this product alongside antidepressants (including SSRIs, SNRIs or MAOIs) or other serotonergic medications except under the direction of a healthcare professional. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take any prescription medication.

May Cause Drowsiness: This product contains melatonin and sedative botanicals. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other activities requiring alertness after taking it. Do not use with alcohol or other sedatives.

Warning: Do not use if under age 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended dose. Consult a physician before use if you have a known medical condition. Keep out of reach of children — this product contains 10 mg of melatonin per serving, and accidental ingestion by a child is a medical emergency.

The Research

Real sourcing behind Deep Restore — here's what the science says about the key ingredients:

Melatonin & Sleep Cycle — A meta-analysis of 19 randomized, placebo-controlled trials (1,683 participants) found melatonin supplementation significantly reduced the time it takes to fall asleep and modestly increased total sleep time compared to placebo. Worth knowing: those benefits show up at doses far lower than this formula's 10 mg, and the research has not found larger doses to work better. (Source: PLOS One, National Library of Medicine)

Magnesium & Nervous System Function — Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems in the body, including those that regulate muscle and nerve function — the physiological basis for including it in a formula aimed at physical, not just mental, relaxation. (Source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements)

Calming Botanicals (Chamomile, Passionflower, Lemon Balm) — Evidence on these traditional botanicals is still developing and mixed across studies: a placebo-controlled pilot trial found chamomile extract produced modest, not statistically significant, improvements on some sleep measures; passionflower's human research is limited to a handful of small trials; and a systematic review found lemon balm produced modest calming effects across the clinical trials analyzed. (Sources: National Library of Medicine, PMC3198755; NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health; Phytotherapy Research, Ghazizadeh et al. 2021)

L-Theanine & Calm Focus — Found naturally in tea leaves, L-theanine has been studied at doses of 200–400 mg for its ability to reduce subjective stress and increase alpha brain wave activity — a pattern associated with relaxed, non-drowsy calm. (Source: systematic review, Plant Foods for Human Nutrition)

GABA — GABA is the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, but researchers are still working out how well orally supplemented GABA actually reaches the brain, since its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier appears limited. Some researchers propose its effects are mediated through the gut-brain axis rather than direct central action. It's included here as a complementary addition rather than the formula's primary active ingredient. (Source: peer-reviewed reviews, National Library of Medicine)

Ashwagandha & Sleep — A systematic review and meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials (400 participants) found ashwagandha extract improved overall sleep quality, with the most pronounced effects in adults who were already sleeping poorly. (Source: PLOS One, National Library of Medicine)

St. John's Wort — why it's in here, and what to know — St. John's Wort's clinical research used roughly 900 mg per day of standardized extract, for uses unrelated to sleep. This formula is a different thing: St. John's Wort sits eighth of fourteen ingredients inside a 905 mg proprietary blend, which caps it at about 113 mg per serving and likely much less — a traditional sleep-blend inclusion, not a therapeutic dose. We name it anyway because of its interaction profile, which does not scale down as predictably as its effects do. St. John's Wort induces liver enzymes that clear many medications, and reduced effectiveness of hormonal birth control is the best-documented consequence. Read the Medication Interaction Caution under Ingredients & Safety before using this product. (Source: NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health)

5-HTP & L-Tryptophan — Both are precursors the body converts toward serotonin, and small studies have looked at them for sleep onset. The evidence base is thin and study quality is mixed, so we are not going to overstate it. On amounts: L-Tryptophan is listed first in the blend, making it the largest single component, while 5-HTP is listed last, making it the smallest — a supporting inclusion rather than a studied dose. Both appear in the Medication Interaction Caution because they act on serotonin, which matters if you take an antidepressant or another serotonergic medication.
