Natural Sleep Support – Deep Rest & Nervous System Recovery
Sleep disruption is often linked to stress, elevated cortisol, and an overactive nervous system. Supporting both relaxation and recovery is key to improving sleep quality and achieving deeper, more restorative rest.
Key Natural Sleep Supports
Glycine (Sleep & Recovery Support)
Glycine is an amino acid that helps calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality.
- Supports relaxation and mental calm
- Helps reduce overactivity in the brain
- Supports deeper, more restorative sleep
Magnesium Glycinate (Relaxation & GABA Support)
Magnesium works synergistically with glycine to support deep physical relaxation and nervous system regulation.
- Promotes muscle relaxation and reduces nervous system excitability
- Supports GABA production — the body’s primary calming neurotransmitter
- Complements glycine for deeper, more restorative sleep
Ashwagandha (Stress & Cortisol Support)
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that helps regulate stress and cortisol levels.
- Supports stress reduction and relaxation
- Helps regulate nighttime cortisol
- Supports improved sleep quality
Tulsi (Calming & Nervous System Support)
Tulsi (Holy Basil) supports emotional balance and nervous system calm.

Passionflower (Sleep Initiation Support)
Passionflower is traditionally used to calm the nervous system and support the transition into sleep.
