At a glance

Designed to be made with hot water and drunk an hour before bed. Magnesium bisglycinate at 200mg elemental, glycine at 3g, and a small amount of tart cherry for flavour. No melatonin, which is prescription-only in the UK.

It may suit you if

  • You want an evening routine rather than a tablet
  • Magnesium oxide has upset your stomach
  • You want something without melatonin

You may prefer something else if

  • You want capsules with no preparation
  • You dislike tart flavours

What is in it

The label, in full

Every active ingredient amount is printed on the label.

Magnesium bisglycinate
200mg elemental

Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Generally better tolerated by the digestive system than magnesium oxide, and usually more expensive. Typical serving across the market: 100mg – 375mg elemental. Published human research: moderate.

L-theanine
100mg

An amino acid found in tea leaves. Frequently combined with caffeine in focus formulas because the pairing is better studied than either alone for attention tasks. Typical serving across the market: 100mg – 200mg. Published human research: moderate.

Other ingredients

Glycine 3,000mg, Tart cherry powder, Natural vanilla, Steviol glycosides.

Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.
