Ingredients explained
L-Glycine
L-Glycine, an essential amino acid and neurotransmitter, plays a key role in muscle, metabolic, and cognitive functions. A key function of glycine found in the body is in collagen formation, as well as supporting glutathione production, the body's master antioxidant. Though the body can produce glycine, dietary intake enhances its benefits.
Glycine may promote better sleep by calming the nervous system, lowering core body temperature, and supporting deep sleep cycles making it an ideal component of True Nightcap.
Marine magnesium
Extracted from sustainably harvested red algae from the Irish Sea, our magnesium citrate is highly bioavailable. Magnesium is essential for optimal function, involved in systems and processes throughout the body including energy production, nerve function, glucose regulation and bone and muscle health. Yet, the majority of the population is deficient in this crucial nutrient.
Magnesium is also essential for maintaining electrolyte balance and plays a crucial role in hydration, helping to prevent muscle cramps, reduce fatigue, and support overall energy production.
Ginger Root
Native to Southeast Asia, ginger has been a powerful botanical in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. The health benefits of ginger come from gingerols, natural compounds found in the root’s oily resin. Ginger not only adds a comforting, warming flavour to True Nightcap, but also helps settle digestion before bed. Its gentle heat and soothing properties make it a perfect addition to your rest ritual.
Myo-Inositol
Myo-inositol, essential for building cell membranes, acts as a 'secondary messenger' in the central nervous system, enhancing the impact of neurotransmitters that support mood health. It has been studied for its ability to increase insulin sensitivity, promoting balanced energy levels. Additionally, myo-inositol may play a role in regulating circadian rhythms.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C supports adrenal health, which is essential for managing cortisol levels and stress response. Healthy adrenal function helps regulate the body’s natural rhythms and supports better sleep quality, as balanced cortisol levels play a critical role in relaxation and restful sleep. By protecting cells from oxidative stress and aiding in collagen regeneration, Vitamin C helps support a restful night's sleep while strengthening the immune system and enhancing skin rejuvenation, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and revitalised.
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 supports immune function, helping to defend the body while it rests. It also plays a crucial role in cell repair and regeneration, aiding in the body's overnight processes.
Additionally, zinc promotes healthy skin, supports hormone balance, and contributes to collagen formation. Including zinc in True Nightcap helps ensure your body gets the support it needs for restful sleep and rejuvenation. Our zinc citrate is a highly bioavailable, well-absorbed form.
This delicious raw cacao brew with balancing ashwagandha, warming hops and reishi mushroom is crafted to transport you into a state of tranquillity in your Rest Ritual.
During sleep, the body repairs tissues, muscles, and cells. Nutrients like magnesium and myo-inositol support relaxation and nervous system balance, while zinc aids immune repair, and choline enhances cellular regeneration. Vitamin C supports collagen formation and repair, helping keep tissues healthy. Each nutrient collectively enhances restorative sleep functions.
Ginger - digestion for sleep
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.
Glycine for sleep
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 story
We have thoughtfully selected a highly bioavailable form of magnesium, derived from seawater and sustainably harvested red algae from the pristine Irish Sea. This choice ensures exceptional potency while reflecting our dedication to both your health and environmental responsibility.
More than sleep support
True Nightcap’s synergy of ingredients are great for supporting relaxation and sleep, but no need to worry about feeling drowsy. Unlike sedatives, they work by supporting the nervous system, promoting calm, and aiding recovery processes. This makes True Nightcap versatile enough for any time you feel you need some relaxation or immune support, not just before bed.
