Magnesium
S
Mineral Supplement

Magnesium

Magnesium may help some people sleep better, especially when intake is low or poor sleep is tied to stress, muscle tension, or restlessness. It is not a sedative, and sleep trial results are mixed, but magnesium glycinate is commonly preferred before bed because it is generally well tolerated and less laxative than citrate or oxide.

S
Strong

Vitamin D3

Fat-Soluble Vitamin

Vitamin D3 is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. An estimated 42% of U.S. adults are deficient. Most adults benefit from 1,000-4,000 IU daily, and a 2017 meta-analysis found supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory infections by 12%.

S
Strong

Omega-3

Essential Fatty Acid

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) reduce inflammation, support heart and brain health, and may improve mood. The REDUCE-IT trial showed high-dose EPA (4g/day) reduced cardiovascular events by 25%. Most adults benefit from 1,000-2,000mg combined EPA+DHA daily.

S
Strong

Probiotics

Live Microorganisms

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that support gut health, immunity, and mood through the gut-brain axis. A 2018 meta-analysis found significant IBS symptom reduction with multi-strain probiotics. Benefits are strain-specific — choose based on your health goal. Typical dose: 10-50 billion CFU daily. Look for third-party tested products with verified potency through the expiration date.

S
Strong

Ashwagandha

Adaptogenic Herb

Yes, ashwagandha is one of the most clinically studied adaptogens, with over 22 published clinical trials backing its benefits. A 2019 meta-analysis found it reduced stress scores by 44% and cortisol by 23% compared to placebo. The recommended dose is 300-600mg of root extract (KSM-66, standardized to withanolides) daily.

S
Strong

Melatonin

Neurohormone

Melatonin is the most well-studied natural sleep supplement, shown in a meta-analysis of 19 RCTs to reduce sleep onset latency by 7-12 minutes and improve sleep quality. Importantly, more is NOT better — doses as low as 0.5mg can be as effective as 5mg for sleep onset. It is also the best-evidenced supplement for jet lag.
