Used in: Night / Steady

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic root with one of the strongest bodies of clinical research in modern wellness. KSM-66 is the most studied full-spectrum extract available, shown in multiple trials to measurably reduce cortisol levels and support a calmer stress response.

If you're chronically wired, this is one of the most evidence-backed ingredients available to help your nervous system regulate.

Evidence note: Used in over 22 gold-standard clinical trials.

Used in: Night / Steady

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body, including muscle relaxation, nervous system regulation, and sleep onset. Most adults are chronically under-magnesium. Glycinate is the most bioavailable and gentle form, less likely to cause the digestive discomfort of cheaper magnesium forms.

Think of it as the mineral that helps your body remember how to switch off.

Evidence note: Widely studied for sleep quality and stress reduction in adults.

Used in: Night / Ease

Found naturally in green tea, L-Theanine is an amino acid that promotes alpha-wave brain activity, the calm, alert mental state associated with focused relaxation. It takes the edge off stimulation without making you drowsy, which is why it pairs well with both sleep support and daytime focus.

It's one of the most versatile, well-tolerated ingredients in evidence-based wellness.

Evidence note: Widely replicated in studies on stress, focus, and sleep quality.

Used in: Night

Passionflower has been used for centuries as a natural aid for nervous tension and sleep difficulty. Modern research suggests it works by modulating GABA activity in the brain, the same pathway involved in helping the nervous system wind down. Unlike many sleep aids, it doesn't cause next-day sedation.

It's a quiet ingredient. You may not feel it land, but you'll notice its absence.

Evidence note: Studied for sleep latency and anxiety reduction in clinical settings.

Used in: Night

Lemon balm is a calming herb from the mint family that works synergistically with passionflower in the Night gummy formula. On its own, it's been studied for reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality. Together, the two botanicals support the kind of gentle mental decompression that's harder to achieve the more tired and wired you are.

Evidence note: Research supports use for stress and sleep, often in combination formulas.

Used in: Steady

Rhodiola is a cold-climate adaptogen with a long history in Eastern European and Scandinavian medicine, traditionally used to support performance under physical and mental stress. Contemporary research shows it can help reduce fatigue, support mood under pressure, and maintain cognitive output during demanding periods.

It's particularly well suited for people who aren't burnt out yet, but can feel themselves getting there.

Evidence note: Studied for mental fatigue, mood, and stress resilience in working adults.

Used in: Steady

Saffron is one of the more surprising entries in modern evidence-based wellness. Affron is a patented, clinically studied extract of saffron with a growing body of research around mood support and emotional balance. It works on serotonin pathways in a way that's gentle and non-habit-forming.

It won't change how you feel on a single hard day. Used consistently, it supports a more stable emotional baseline over time.

Evidence note: Multiple trials showing mood support, including in healthy adults under stress.

Used in: Steady

B vitamins are foundational to the nervous system. B6 is a cofactor in the production of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. B12 supports nerve function and is commonly depleted in people with high-stress, irregular-sleep lifestyles. Together, they underpin the basic neurochemical infrastructure that everything else in a formula like Steady depends on.

Evidence note: Core micronutrients with broad research across energy, mood, and neurological function.

Used in: Clear

Lion's Mane is a functional mushroom with a distinctive profile in the cognitive health space. It's one of the few natural compounds studied for its ability to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports the maintenance and formation of neurons. Research suggests consistent use can support memory, focus, and long-term cognitive resilience.

It's not a quick stimulant. It's a slow builder, and that's the point.

Evidence note: Studied for neurogenesis, memory, and cognitive function in multiple trials.

Used in: Ease

Green tea extract has been used for centuries as a source of calm, sustained energy. Unlike isolated caffeine, the natural compounds in green tea work together to deliver alertness without the spike and crash of a stimulant. It's one of the most widely consumed and studied botanicals in the world, with a strong safety profile for daily use.

The energy it gives you feels considered rather than forced.

Evidence note: Extensively studied for cognitive alertness, antioxidant activity, and metabolic support.
