Why we removed melatonin from our sleep patch

Why we removed melatonin from our sleep patch

Melatonin is the most common ingredient in sleep products, and for good reason. It works. Take enough of it and you will fall asleep.

The problem is what happens next. Most melatonin supplements contain far more than the body actually needs. That excess does not disappear when you wake up. It lingers, and it is the reason so many people describe feeling heavy or slow for the first few hours of the morning.

We wanted the opposite outcome. A patch you wear overnight that helps you fall asleep without borrowing from the next day.

So we built the formula around four ingredients that support the body's own wind-down process instead of overriding it. Valerian root calms the nervous system. Magnesium glycinate relaxes the muscles. L-theanine quiets the mental chatter that keeps you awake. Chamomile eases the body into rest.

None of them knock you out. Together, they make sleep easier to reach and easier to stay in.
