Magnesium bisglycinate
Magnesium is involved in muscle function, nerve signalling and electrolyte balance, all of which can be disrupted by late nights, stress and changes in routine. A gentle, well absorbed form like magnesium bisglycinate is useful in an evening formula because it is less likely to cause digestive upset and can support the body as it winds down. By helping regulate muscle tension and nervous system activity, it may contribute to a calmer state that makes it easier to rest and recover overnight.

Zinc picolinate
Zinc plays a role in immune function, antioxidant defences and many enzyme systems involved in normal metabolism. When the body is under strain – for example from disrupted sleep, social stressors or irregular eating and drinking patterns – supporting these systems becomes more important. A bioavailable form like zinc picolinate is included to help ensure the body can use it effectively, contributing to overall recovery processes that take place while you sleep.

L Theanine (from green tea)
L Theanine is known for promoting a state of relaxed alertness rather than drowsiness, which makes it useful when someone wants to unwind without feeling sedated. Late nights can leave people feeling wired, anxious or restless, which then interferes with sleep quality. Including L Theanine in a night time capsule aims to soften that “tired but wired” feeling, reduce stress and “hangxiety”, and support a smoother transition into restorative sleep.

N Acetyl L Cysteine (NAC)
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s key antioxidants involved in detoxification pathways and cellular protection. When lifestyle factors increase oxidative stress or place extra demands on the liver, maintaining adequate glutathione can be particularly important. NAC is included in the night time formula to begin supporting these processes before sleep, so the body has the building blocks it needs to manage by products of a long or intense evening and to repair more effectively overnight.
