Why take a sleep supplement?


Sleeping well doesn't just depend on willpower. Screens, irregular hours, age, or periods of stress can disrupt falling asleep. A sleep supplement does not replace good sleep hygiene, but it can support it thanks to targeted active ingredients: melatonin, which helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, magnesium, which supports nervous balance, and plants traditionally used to promote relaxation.


Active ingredients that act on falling asleep


If you have trouble falling asleep, melatonin remains the benchmark. Present in our Sleep Formula, it helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (1)(2), at a dose of 1 mg before bedtime. It also helps alleviate the effects of jet lag.


Traditionally used plants


The Sleep Formula combines several plants with melatonin: lemon balm, hops, passionflower, and California poppy. Traditionally used to promote relaxation and sleep, they perfectly complement the action of melatonin.


The role of magnesium


Magnesium plays a different role. It helps reduce fatigue and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, two valuable benefits during periods of stress (3). In its bisglycinate form, which is well assimilated and tolerated, it easily integrates into a long-term treatment.


Which sleep supplement should you choose?


Each product in the collection meets a different need:


The Sleep Formula combines Melotime™ melatonin and a complex of 4 plants: lemon balm, hops, passionflower, and California poppy. This is the most complete formula if you are looking to fall asleep more easily.


Magnesium Bisglycinate provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium per day, enriched with taurine and bioactive vitamin B6. You can integrate it into a long-term treatment to sustainably support your nervous balance.


Glycine is an amino acid studied for its role in falling asleep and recovery. You will appreciate its crystalline powder, with a naturally sweet taste, for its relaxing effects.


Organic Ashwagandha KSM-66® is an adaptogenic plant, traditionally used to support stress management, often the cause of restless nights. Ideal if your goal is to enjoy more peaceful nights.


Who are sleep supplements for?


These supplements are intended for several profiles:



  • People experiencing occasional difficulty falling asleep;

  • Workers with irregular hours (night work, shift work);

  • Travelers experiencing jet lag;

  • People under stress;

  • Those seeking a natural alternative to sleeping pills.


Melatonin-based supplements are not suitable for children, adolescents, or pregnant women. If difficulties persist, consult a healthcare professional.


How to fall asleep quickly naturally?


A few simple habits can help you fall asleep faster:



  • Go to bed and wake up at the same times.

  • Avoid screens one to two hours before bedtime.

  • Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

  • Set aside time for relaxation: reading, a short meditation, or breathing exercises.

  • Limit caffeine and alcohol in the late afternoon.

  • Eat a light dinner, well before bedtime.


Other levers, such as exposure to light upon waking, are among our 8 best tips for better sleep.


Instructions for using food supplements


Each product has its own method of intake:




  • Sleep Formula: 2 capsules in the evening, about an hour before bedtime.


  • Glycine: a 5g dose diluted in a glass of water or herbal tea, before bedtime.


  • Magnesium Bisglycinate: 3 capsules per day, continuously if needed.


  • Organic Ashwagandha KSM-66®: 2 capsules per day, as a regular course as needed.


  • Anti-Stress Formula: 2 capsules per day, preferably in the morning, for a course of at least 1 month.


In all cases, follow the specific instructions for each product, indicated on its bottle.


How long does it take to feel the effects of sleep supplements?


The timelines vary depending on the individual and the active ingredients:




  • Sleep Formula: the effect of melatonin on falling asleep can be felt from the first doses.


  • Glycine: taken in the evening, its effect is often appreciated within a few days to a few weeks depending on the individual.


  • Magnesium Bisglycinate: its effects on nervous balance gradually establish themselves throughout the course.

  • Organic Ashwagandha KSM-66®: the benefits of an adaptogen course are generally appreciated after several weeks.


  • Anti-Stress Formula: its effects establish themselves over the weeks.


Allow for a course of 1 to 3 months to appreciate the benefits of most active ingredients. These benchmarks are indicative: results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
