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 ritual has now been discontinued. To continue enjoying the antioxidant benefits of raw cacao, explore Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Chaga - raw cacao rituals thoughtfully crafted to support rest and resilience.
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.
Introducing True Nightcap. This advanced and nutrient rich nightcap provides carefully selected essential nutrients which support the body from neurotransmitters to the nervous system - designed to promote restorative and rejuvenating sleep.
Our bestselling sleep ritual in a travel-friendly form, True Nightcap sachets deliver a carefully curated blend of essential nutrients that support restful sleep, cognitive function, and the body’s natural neurotransmitter pathways. Designed for ease and consistency, they’re ideal for nights away from home, late evenings, or whenever your routine shifts and you want to maintain your rhythm.
How is True Nightcap different from magnesium-only supplements?
While magnesium plays an important role in relaxation and sleep, True Nightcap goes further by combining Magnesium Citrate with a broader spectrum of nutrients that support the body’s natural sleep processes. This includes Choline, which contributes to normal nervous system function and circadian rhythm regulation, and L-Glycine, an amino acid shown to support sleep quality. Zinc and Vitamin C also play supportive roles in overall recovery and cellular function.
Together, these nutrients work in synergy to support both the quality and efficiency of sleep.
How many sachets should I take per night for optimal results?
The recommended True Nightcap serving is 1 sachet per night.
How long before bed should I consume my sleep sachet?
For best results, take one sachet around 30-60 minutes before bed. This allows time for key nutrients such as magnesium and L-glycine to be absorbed and begin supporting the nervous system as your body transitions into rest mode. Consistency matters more than precision, so aim to take it at a similar time each evening as part of your wind-down ritual
Will I feel rested the next morning after taking these sleep sachets?
True Nightcap is formulated with nutrients such as Magnesium, Zinc, Choline, L-Glycine and Vitamin C - all of which play roles in the body’s natural processes of rest, recovery and cellular repair.
Unlike sedative-based sleep aids, these are nutrients your body already recognises and uses, working with your natural rhythm rather than overriding it. When taken consistently, this support for deeper, more efficient rest may help you wake feeling more refreshed and clear, rather than groggy.
