De-stress & Sleep Bundle

We recommend taking one or two capsules of Vegan Nights® between 30 minutes before bedtime and 2 hours before bedtime. The best time really varies by individual and depends on so many factors including types of sleep issues experienced, weight, the time of your last meal, diet, stress being experienced and other factors.

We recommend starting taking your Vegan Nights® capsule(s) 30 minutes before bedtime and then adapt if necessary to find what works best for you.

Our Ashwagandha KSM-66® is the most clinically trialled and patented form of Ashwagandha, giving rise to its worldwide acclaim.

Cortisol is your stress hormone, and when your cortisol levels are too high, the cortisol blocks your body's production of melatonin, your sleep hormone. If you're stresseds, or lying awake in bed frustrated you can't sleep, your cortisol levels may be raised, which blocks your body's production of melatonin, making it harder for your body to go to relax and asleep.

Ashwagandha KSM-66® can be effective for those with persistent sleep issues which may be due to raised levels of cortisol.

Take your Ashwagandha KSM-66® capsule up to 2 hours before bedtime. This will give it time to help manage your body's cortisol, which in turn can support better sleep.

If you have an auto-immune or thyroid condition, or you're taking medication for these, you should consult your GP or a health practitioner before taking Ashwagandha.

KSM-66® is the patented and most clinically studied form of Ashwagandha, giving rise to its worldwide acclaim by scientists. KSM-66 is considered the superior form of Ashwagandha because it only uses the withanolides (the active compounds of Ashwagandha) from the root of the plant, which are pure and clean, unlike standard Ashwagandha which extracts the withanolides from the leaves of the plant.

Our Vegan Nights® formula was developed for better, deeper and regenerative sleep. In one survey, when asked, 'How effective would you say Vegan Nights® has been in supporting you?', two-thirds of people who had taken Vegan Nights® said they found it effective for their sleep.* Vegan Nights® is also commonly taken alongside Ashwagandha KSM-66® and can be bought together in our De-stress & Sleep Bundle as well as our Ultimate Sleep Bundle.

L-Glycine is an amino acid, an organic compound in the body that forms proteins and plays a role in the levels of hormones in the brain. L-Glycine is used in various muscle, metabolic and cognitive functions as well as helping to break down glycogen and fat to be used for energy in our cells. L-Glycine has been studied for its calming effect on the brain, helping reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and enhancing sleep quality through inducing REM sleep.

Chamomile is a group of daisy-like plants that can be found growing wild throughout Southern England and other parts of Europe. You may have had it in teas, where it is used as a flavouring agent, but these chamomile-infused drinks and the plant itself have also been used as a natural remedy for sleep for centuries. Chamomile contains ‘apigenin’, a compound that is believed to induce sleepiness when it binds to the GABA receptors in the brain. Continue learning about Chamomile.
