Ingredients explained
Marine magnesium
Few compounds are more important to overall health than the mineral magnesium. Magnesium is essential for human health and optimal function. It’s involved in over 700 enzymatic reactions, energy production, nerve function and glucose regulation, plays an important role in bone & muscle health and is required to synthesize DNA and RNA —the building blocks of life. Yet many studies show that the majority of the population don’t get enough of this crucial nutrient. Our Magnesium citrate is derived from a natural mineral source of marine origin and crucially is a soluble highly bioactive source of magnesium, easily absorbed and pure.
Native to south-east Asia, ginger has been used a powerful botanical in Ayurvedic medicine for years.
The health benefits of ginger are mainly attributed to a natural compound called gingerols present in the oily resin found in the root.
Ginger is also helpful for easing nausea associated with travel and morning sickness and it bring a gentle level of chilli style heat to our Inspired Collagyn.
Myo-Inositol
Sometimes referred to as Vitamin B8, this simple compound is quickly broken down to be used as an energy source in the body without causing a spike in blood sugar. Inositol is essential in the process of building cell membranes and is a “secondary messenger” in your central nervous system, known to increase the impact of neurotransmitters in your brain supporting mood health. Myo-inositol is also studied for increasing insulin sensitivity, supporting our bodies natural energy balance and has been shown to impact circadian rhythms which may help to regulate sleep.
Find this intelligent compound in our True Nightcap formulation.
Vitamin C
Not all vitamin C’s are created equal. The most common version of vitamin C, called ascorbic acid, has a very low absorption rate and often triggers digestive disturbance.
So we formulate our products with a gentle on the gut, buffered form of vitamin C called magnesium ascorbate which has far superior absorption than standard ascorbic acid.
Magnesium ascorbate is one of our most important ingredients in terms of health benefits, daily wellbeing, collagen renewal and supporting skin cell protection.
Choline
Similar to vitamin D, a nutrient called choline is hard to obtain through a plant-based diet which is why many health organisations are promoting vegan awareness for the risk of choline deficiency.
Studies indicate that this nutrient is important for neurotransmitter balance, cardiovascular health and the maintenance of normal liver function.
To help support daily wellbeing for those of you following a plant-based diet we’ve included a form of vegan choline (L-Choline Bitartrate) in our Radiant Collagyn.
Zinc Citrate
Best known for supporting immune health, this essential mineral is needed to perform hundreds of important functions in the body. From helping with hormone production, growth and repair, improved immunity, and normal digestion, zinc is the second-most-abundant trace mineral in the human body. Our zinc citrate is a well absorbed, highly bioavailable form.
You can find our highly bioavailable Zinc Citrate in our True Nightcap and newly formulated Radiant blend.
L-Glycine
L-Glycine is both an amino acid and neurotransmitter. This means that in the body it forms proteins and plays a role in the levels of hormones in the brain.
It is widely considered to be one of the most important amino acids for the body, and thus we have high requirements for it. Whilst the body can produce glycine on its own, incorporating it into our diet can yield numerous benefits. It is used in various muscle, metabolic and cognitive functions.
Approximately 80% of the body’s glycine is used for protein synthesis, contributing to the formation of several important protein structures, including collagen. Glycine is also essential for the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
L-Glycine is thought to have soothing effects on the central nervous system, helping to improve sleep quality as a result.
For these reasons, you will find this nutrient incorporated into our intelligent formulas, True Nightcap and Radiant Collagyn.
The perfect harmony of ceremonial grade matcha paired with our signature True Collagen peptides and pure organic Lion’s Mane mushroom to dial in a clear mind and nourish your skin from within.
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.

Reviews
True night cap
"I’ve been drinking this at night, I’m starting to sleep well,after years of not sleeping well it’s amazing, I wasn’t keen on the taste but getting used to it now I hope it continues"
— Janet D. (4/5)
A great bedtime drink
"This product is great for a hot bedtime drink, it’s really relaxing and helps you to get a good nights sleep, the powder can be a little indissoluble so it’s best not to drink right to the bottom of the cup."
— Sarah D. (5/5)
Helps Me Sleep Through
"Started taking this to help with sleep as was waking up a lot. I could tell I was sleeping better from the get go as felt more refreshed than usual. The big difference I noticed was when I didn't take it one evening and was up several times in the night! Wouldn't go back now. It's got a quite strong gingery taste that took some getting used to. At first I mixed it with blackcurrent squash but now I like the taste on it's own. I just drink it with dinner to give it time to kick in. Highly recommend!"
— Niamh W. (5/5)

True nightcap
"I’m really sorry ,but I have only had 1 serving of true nightcap I really did not like the taste of it."
— Melanie S. (5/5)
True night cap
"Definitely makes me sleep. Bit strong at first - can really taste the ginger but by adding a small bit of manuka honey this help with that."
— Linz S. (5/5)
My Sleep score has definitely improved!
"This product appears to work for me! My sleep has improved enormously and more often than not I have an unbroken night’s sleep. I gave it 4 stars because despite its success I find the powder does not dissolve well in hot water. When making the drink the powder in the air seems to irritate my chest and makes me cough. It would also be nice to receive a full jar rather than one that is only 2/3 full. I do understand that this could be due to the settling of the contents but I also buy the marine collagen and that jar is almost full!"
— Caroline B. (4/5)
Strong taste but does work a little
"Strong lemon taste, but you do get used to it. Monitored my sleep stages and definately get more deep sleep when using this and wake up feeling much more rested and ready to get up. I'm not sure it helps me feel relaxed/ get more sleep though. So, it's probably better used if you want to feel more awake the next day."
— Angela A. (4/5)
Love this in hot water
"This is my night time drink look forward to this every night, I love ginger and often have a ginger shot in it as well, this is my second bottle and I also have had a pack of sachets I can’t say for sure how it effects my sleep as I haven’t slept great for a couple of years but I do think I waken up less, but I haven’t had as much as a sniffle since I started taking this."
— Morag G. (5/5)
Love this!
"Has definitely made a massive and positive change to my sleep routine."
— Alex P. (5/5)
