Nighttime Support · 30 × 10g packets
A melatonin-free evening tonic built around a full clinical dose of glycine, 300mg of elemental magnesium, and magnolia bark — with saffron, lemon balm, and sour cherry rounding out a formula designed to quiet a racing mind and support deep, uninterrupted sleep.
Inside every dose
No proprietary blends — every dose printed here is printed on the box.
Magnesium Glycinate
300 mg elemental (from 2,500 mg)
A fully-reacted chelate — magnesium bound to glycine — which is both the best absorbed form and the gentlest on digestion. The 2,500mg of raw chelate also carries roughly 2,000mg of glycine, which counts toward the total below*
Glycine
1,500 mg standalone (~3,500 mg total)
An inhibitory amino acid that lowers core body temperature slightly — one of the signals that initiates sleep. Standalone glycine plus the glycine bound in the magnesium chelate clears the 3,000mg dose used in the sleep-onset trials*
L-Theanine (Suntheanine®)
100 mg
Promotes alpha-wave relaxation without sedation*
Magnolia officinalis Extract
250 mg
The source of honokiol and magnolol, traditionally used to ease evening tension*
Saffron Extract (10:1)
10 mg
A concentrated saffron extract traditionally used for mood and evening calm*
Lemon Balm Extract
300 mg
A member of the mint family, traditionally used to calm a racing mind*
Ziziphus jujuba Seed Extract
400 mg
Suanzaoren — used for centuries in traditional practice to support restful sleep*
Sour Cherry Extract
500 mg
Whole-fruit extract that naturally contains small amounts of sleep-supportive compounds*
Chamomile Extract
200 mg
The classic evening botanical, and a natural source of apigenin*
Apigenin
30 mg
Chamomile's primary calming flavonoid, concentrated and added on top of the extract*
Vitamin B6
2 mg
A cofactor your body uses to build the neurotransmitters involved in winding down*
Allulose
3,000 mg
A rare sugar that tastes like sugar without the glycemic load — what gives the drink body rather than a thin, watery finish*
Monk Fruit Extract
25 mg
Rounds out the sweetness so nothing tastes flat*
Citric Acid
200 mg
Brightens the tart cherry and keeps the flavor from turning syrupy*
Malic Acid
150 mg
The acid that gives stone fruit its depth — lengthens the finish*
Sodium Chloride
60 mg
A trace of salt; sharpens every other flavor in the sachet*
What to expect
Nightfall is built for nightly use, working with your body's own wind-down rather than overriding it with a hormone.
Night 1Fall asleep faster
The glycine trials dosed 3g about 30 minutes before bed and measured shorter sleep onset that same night — no loading period. Apigenin and L-theanine take the edge off alongside it.*
Week 4Calmer heading into bed
The botanicals — magnolia bark, lemon balm, saffron — were studied over weeks rather than single nights. This is where wind-down starts feeling like less of an effort.*
Week 8+Deeper, more consistent nights
Magnesium is a repletion story: if you were low, closing that gap takes consistent intake, not one dose. B6 supports the same pathways in the background.*

Melatonin-free, on purpose
Melatonin is a timing signal — it tells your body it’s night. That’s genuinely useful for jet lag or shift work. But most people lying awake aren’t mistimed, they’re tense or thinking, and a clock signal doesn’t touch either one.
Glycine is the most studied sleep-onset ingredient in this formula, and the trials that found shorter sleep latency used 3 grams. Plenty of formulas list glycine; far fewer reach the dose that was tested. Nightfall passes it, and the second half of the total comes from an ingredient that is already there for another reason.
Mix one packet into warm or cold water 30–60 minutes before bed, as screens go off. Tart cherry up front, with a hibiscus or black currant accent.

Finally a sleep product that doesn't leave me groggy. Melatonin always wrecked my mornings — this doesn't.

The warm chamomile taste is half the ritual at this point. Asleep within 20 minutes most nights.

Works well. Wish it came in a bigger box since I go through it fast once I'm actually sleeping through the night.

Questions
Supplemental melatonin doses are often 10–30× physiological levels, and many people report grogginess and tolerance. Nightfall works upstream — magnesium, glycine, and magnolia bark support your body’s own wind-down process instead of replacing it.
No. Nightfall promotes relaxation rather than sedation. You should feel calm and ready for sleep, not knocked out — and you can still get up safely if you need to.
Tart cherry up front, with a hibiscus or black currant accent that deepens it into something almost wine-like, and the faintest whisper of lavender in the aroma — never enough to taste it outright.
No ingredient in Nightfall creates dependence. Every input supports pathways your body already uses to wind down.
Nightfall stacks eleven actives rather than one or two, because each targets a different part of winding down — lowering physical tension (magnesium, magnolia bark), quieting mental chatter (L-theanine, saffron, lemon balm), and supporting sleep onset itself (glycine, sour cherry, apigenin). The remaining ingredients are there for taste: allulose and monk fruit for sweetness, citric and malic acid for the tart cherry edge, and a trace of salt to sharpen it.
