1) What are the best natural sleep aids?
Common options include melatonin to cue bedtime, magnesium for muscle relaxation and sleep quality, and daytime adrenal support (e.g., Adrenal Balance Complex) to smooth stress that keeps you wired at night. Many people also like Magtein® (Magnesium L-threonate) earlier in the day for calm focus.
2) When should I take melatonin and how much?
Take 30–60 minutes before bed. Start low (e.g., 3 mg) and adjust gradually. If you feel groggy in the morning, reduce the dose or move it earlier.
3) Which magnesium is best for sleep?
Forms differ: Magtein® (L-threonate) is great daytime support for calm focus; Magnesium Hydroxide or Magnesium (citrate) in the evening can aid relaxation (citrate may loosen stools - start with a low dose).
4) Can I combine magnesium and melatonin?
Yes. Many pair Melatonin Calm 3 mg with an evening magnesium. Keep caffeine earlier in the day, dim lights at night, and keep a consistent bedtime.
5) I fall asleep fine but wake at 3 a.m. - what helps?
Consider daytime stress rhythm (morning Adrenal Balance Complex), a light protein-forward evening snack, and steady hydration earlier in the day. If wake-ups persist, DUTCH Complete can clarify cortisol timing; Metabolomics can flag nutrient/energy factors.
6) Are these like over-the-counter sleep medications?
No - these are non-prescription dietary supplements designed to support relaxation and sleep physiology, not sedate. If you take medications, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or manage a condition, check with your clinician first.
7) How long until I notice results?
- Melatonin / evening magnesium: often the same night.
- Adrenal support / daytime Magtein®: typically 2–4 weeks of steady use.
Track sleep onset, wake-ups, and morning energy to see what’s helping.
