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.
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.

Reviews
Help me have a restful sleep and settles my stomach
"I enjoy a nighttime drink of true nightcap and always benefit from a restful and satisfying sleep and a calm stomach. I can always tell the difference when I don’t drink one before bedtime."
— Sarah H. (5/5)
Excellent!
"This has really helped me drop off to sleep and stay asleep! Yes, I do still wake occasionally in the night but I find it easier to drift off again! I have it just before bed in tea - I love the taste!"
— Jayce H. (5/5)
Welcome gift
"I bought this as a gift for my sister who was having trouble sleeping and I felt this would be a great natural product for her to try . She has loved it and made a real difference to her sleep quality"
— Helen U. (5/5)
Great product, great results.
"This works! Previously I had tried capsules from a different company and found them to be hit and miss , but True Nightcap works and tastes really pleasant."
— S F. (5/5)
Good night’s sleep!
"Since using Nightcap I have slept better and more relaxed the following morning. I find it most beneficial to have the drink mid evening rather than at bedtime."
— Deborah H. (5/5)
Love this Night Time Ritual
"I am absolutely blown away by my experience of True Nightcap. This has made a huge difference to the quality and length of sleep I am now managing. I was regularly managing only 4 hours a night if I was lucky with lots of interruptions throughout the night. As soon as I started taking True nightcap, I found myself sleeping 7-9 hours with less interruptions throughout the night, leaving me better refreshed for my working day. I have highly recommended to friends and colleagues whilst also puchasing the sachets for when I am travelling for work and leisure. The taste is actually quite comforting, ginger and lemon and works as a lovely hot night-time drink. Very relaxing, reminds me of the lovely teas they serve at high end spas after your treatment. I initially suffered with a little wind, during the night which was more amusing than uncomfortable."
— Bea P. (5/5)
Nightcap
"Love having this delicious drink as part of my nighttime ritual. It helps me wind down as I prepare for bed."
— Valerie V. (4/5)
Another little ritual
"A lovely lemony- ginger powder that makes a great hot drink in the evening. A pleasure to use, so yet another addition to my routine that has been so easy to adopt and build in. Definitely makes a difference to the quality of sleep. I alternate between this and the cacao+collagen in the evenings. Nice small mug is all that’s required."
— Susan S. (5/5)
Absolutely marvellous! Best sleep I’ve
"Absolutely marvellous! Best sleep I’ve had in years I’d say. Can’t recommend this supplement enough. Thank you so much:)x"
— Jan M. (5/5)
Soothing nighttime drink
"It took me a while to get used to the taste after my usual milky nighttime drink but I do like it and I think it is helping with my sleep and I find it quite soothing. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is that it is a little grainy as it doesn’t fully dissolve, personally I prefer a smoother drink without ‘bits’. I will still re-order though."
— Paula W. (4/5)
