Structure/function support for winding down — without the melatonin hangover the category is full of.
Magnesium, glycine and L-theanine — a calm-wind-down stack at real doses, not fairy dust.
Melatonin-free by design, so you're supporting rest without the groggy, tolerance-building hangover.
Reishi fruiting-body extract, third-party tested; the beta-glucan result is published on the tin.
Including the honest part most brands skip: what the research does — and doesn't — show, at the dose we actually use.
Every batch is third-party tested for potency (Megazyme beta-glucan), heavy metals, and microbials. Scan the code on your tin to pull up the Certificate of Analysis for your exact lot — no login, no "trust us."
We compare practices, not brands — the questions the category would rather you didn't ask.

| Third-party COA per lot, scannable | Yes | Rarely |
| Cancel your subscription in one click | Yes | Often not |
Why we're not the cheapest sleep drink: most cost more and tell you less. Your money here buys a melatonin-free, published, lab-verified dose — the magnesium form and the milligrams on the front, the COA a scan away. That's the trade.
Stir one scoop into 8–10oz of warm milk or water, about 30–45 minutes before bed. Caffeine-free, so it fits any night. Give it a couple of weeks to settle into the routine — and it's backed by the guarantee if it's not for you.

No — that's the point. We use magnesium, glycine and L-theanine to support a calm wind-down, without the grogginess and tolerance many people get from melatonin.
None. The cacao base is caffeine-free, so it fits any evening.
The fruiting body is the actual mushroom, where beta-glucans concentrate — versus grain-grown mycelium, which is largely starch. We use fruiting body and publish the number.
