Ingredients explained
L-Glycine
L-Glycine is an essential amino acid and neurotransmitter that supports cognitive functions. While the body can produce glycine, dietary intake can enhance its benefits.**
Glycine may support restful sleep by promoting relaxation and lowering core body temperature, making it an ideal component of True Nightcap.**
Marine magnesium
Sustainably sourced from red algae in the pristine waters of the Irish Sea, our Magnesium Citrate is a bioavailable form of this essential mineral. Magnesium plays a vital role in many processes throughout the body. It contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, supports electrolyte balance, helps maintain bone health, and plays a role in energy production and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.** Despite its importance, many modern diets may fall short in magnesium - making mindful replenishment even more essential for overall wellbeing.
Ginger Root
Native to Southeast Asia, ginger has long been a valued botanical in Ayurvedic medicine. The health benefits of ginger come from gingerols, natural compounds found in its oily resin.
In True Nightcap, ginger not only adds a comforting, warming flavor, but is designed to help settle digestion before bed. Its soothing properties make it a wonderful addition to your rest ritual.**
Myo-Inositol
Myo-inositol supports the central nervous system by influencing neurotransmitter signaling. By helping to regulate mood and overall well-being, it may contribute to a more restful, balanced sleep.**
Vitamin C
Essential yet often overlooked, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress (19), especially when your immune system is working hard.
It supports the normal function of immune cells(20), helping your body respond swiftly to everyday threats. Since we can’t produce it ourselves, a daily dose keeps our inner defences strong and our systems steady.
Choline
Choline plays a critical role in building cell membranes and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is involved in memory, muscle control, and mood regulation. Including choline in True Nightcap helps ensure your brain and nervous system are well-supported during your nightly rest.
Zinc Citrate
Zinc plays a vital role in immune function and contributes to healthy skin, tissue repair, and cellular processes that occur during rest.**
Our Zinc Citrate is a highly bioavailable form, ensuring optimal absorption.
A closer look
WHAT’S HAPPENING WHILST YOU SLEEP?
During sleep, the body works to repair tissues, muscles, and cells. Nutrients like Magnesium and Myo-inositol support relaxation and nervous system balance, while Zinc aids in immune repair. Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation and supports tissue health. Together, these nutrients work in harmony to enhance restorative sleep functions.**
GINGER: THE PERFECT BEDTIME COMPANION
Soothing and warming, ginger is the ideal end-of-day ingredient, supporting digestion and easing post-meal discomfort. Its natural compounds, like Gingerol, enhance digestive enzyme activity and reduce gas buildup, helping you unwind and feel comfortably relaxed before bedtime**
THE POWER OF GLYCINE
A 2007 study found that Glycine before bedtime improved sleep quality, shortened time to fall asleep, and reduced daytime sleepiness, likely due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Glycine may also help with better sleep by lowering core body temperature and supporting circadian rhythm regulation.**
MARINE MAGNESIUM SUPPORT
We have thoughtfully selected a highly bioavailable form of Magnesium, derived from seawater and responsibly harvested red algae from the pristine Irish Sea. This choice ensures exceptional potency while reflecting our dedication to both your health and environmental responsibility.
FOR RELAXATION, AROUND THE CLOCK
True Nightcap’s blend of ingredients is designed to support relaxation and sleep without leaving you feeling drowsy. Unlike sedatives, our formula works gently with the nervous system, promoting calm and aiding recovery. This makes True Nightcap versatile enough for whenever you need relaxation or immune support - not just before bed.
