The Science Behind Deep Rest
Deep Rest 2.0 โ Built on Feedback. Refined for Better Sleep.
Deep Rest 2.0 is the result of continuous refinement shaped by real customer feedback, updated research, and a clear goal: deliver deeper, more consistent rest with fewer unwanted side effects.
Weโve rebalanced the formula to improve overall tolerance and next-day clarity, while strengthening the elements that support relaxation, sleep quality, and recovery. This includes optimising key dosages, removing ingredients that didnโt work for everyone, and introducing better-suited alternatives to create a smoother, more effective nighttime experience.
The result is a more advanced, better balanced formula designed to work with your bodyโs natural rhythms helping you unwind, rest, and wake feeling ready for the day ahead.
Magnesium Bisglycinate (500mg)
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium bound to glycine, known for its calming effect on the nervous system and excellent absorption. It supports relaxation, contributes to normal muscle function, and helps promote restful sleep without digestive discomfort.
Key Studies:
๐ Research published in Nutrients highlighted magnesiumโs role in supporting sleep quality and reducing nighttime restlessness.
๐ A study in The Journal of Research in Medical Sciences found magnesium supplementation improved sleep efficiency and overall sleep patterns.
Glycine (475mg)
Glycine is an amino acid that supports deep, restorative sleep by promoting relaxation of the nervous system and helping regulate core body temperature an essential part of healthy sleep onset. It also plays a role in cognitive recovery and next-day alertness by enhancing slow-wave sleep.
Key Studies:
๐ A study in Sleep and Biological Rhythms found that glycine improved subjective sleep quality and reduced next-day fatigue.
๐ Research published in Frontiers in Neurology showed glycine increased slow-wave sleep and supported better cognitive function upon waking.

Valerian Root (300mg)
Used for centuries as a natural sleep aid, valerian root helps reduce sleep latency and supports restful sleep. It works by increasing GABA availability in the brain, a neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system.
Key Studies:
๐A meta-analysis in American Journal of Medicine found valerian improves sleep quality without next-day grogginess.
๐Phytomedicine showed it reduced the time to fall asleep and improved sleep depth.
L-Theanine (200 mg)
A naturally occurring amino acid found in green tea, L-Theanine promotes calm without sedation. It helps reduce mental tension, support alpha brainwaves, and enhance sleep quality when combined with other calming ingredients.
Key Studies:
๐A study in Nutrients found that L-Theanine improved sleep efficiency and reduced time to fall asleep.
๐Biological Psychology research showed it increased alpha brainwave activity linked to relaxation.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) (150mg)
Lemon Balm is a calming herb traditionally used to ease tension, reduce restlessness, and promote more restful sleep. It works by interacting with GABA receptors in the brain and supporting a relaxed nervous system.
Key Studies:
๐A study published in Mediterranean Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that Lemon Balm significantly improved sleep quality and reduced symptoms of mild insomnia.
๐Research in Phytomedicine showed that daily supplementation with Lemon Balm helped reduce anxiety-related sleep disturbances and supported deeper sleep.
5-HTP from Griffonia Seeds (100mg)
A direct precursor to serotonin, which converts into melatonin โ the hormone responsible for sleep cycles. 5-HTP can help regulate mood and support deeper, uninterrupted sleep.
Key Studies:
๐A study in Sleep Research Online found that 5-HTP increased REM sleep duration.
๐Research in Neuropsychobiology showed that it improves both sleep onset and quality in individuals with mild insomnia.
Apigenin (50mg)
A flavonoid found in chamomile, apigenin binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, promoting calm and initiating sleep. It's known for its gentle sedative effects without dependency risk.
Key Studies:
๐A study in Neuropharmacology found that apigenin exerted anxiolytic and sedative effects in mice.
๐Journal of Natural Products linked apigenin to enhanced sleep onset and duration in animal models.
Vitamin B6 (25mg)
The active form of vitamin B6 that plays a key role in neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin and GABA. B6 supports sleep regulation, mood balance, and cognitive recovery during rest.
Key Studies:
๐Research in Perceptual and Motor Skills showed B6 improved dream recall and sleep quality.
๐A study in Nutrients linked B6 with improved sleep efficiency and reduced wakefulness.
