Description
Medera's Hypnos magnesium-based sleep aid is a non-drowsy and gently relaxing formula that both induces sleep and reduces anxiety. Made with a magnesium glycinate chelate blend, L-theanine, GABA, skullcap, passionflower, and valerian, Hypnos calms the nervous system, reduces sleep latency, and improves sleep quality. By regulating neurotransmitters and promoting sleep hormone production, magnesium promotes healthy sleep cycles without having an overtly sedative or drowsy effect.
Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium bound to an amino acid called glycine. This increases the bioavailability of elemental magnesium, making it more effective on a smaller dose. It is also the preferred form of magnesium for promoting sleep.
How to use
How: Put 1/2 tbsp Hypnos powder in a glass of tepid water and mix. Consume about 1 hour before bed.
Pro tip: A high-protein dinner enhances your nervous system's ability to produce the necessary hormones for a healthy sleep, and improves the efficacy of your sleep supplement.

The Science Behind The Formula
MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE BLEND
Magnesium has been front and centre as a natural form of sleep assistance for decades. Magnesium binds to GABA receptors and modulates their effect, quitening down nerve activity. Magnesium glycinate is the preferred form of magnesium for improving sleep quality. It is easier absorbed than other forms of magnesium and promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.
L-THEANINE
L-Theanine is a highly researched nutraceutical for its effects on sleep health. Research shows that it regulates neurotransmitters and downregulates excitatory neurons (the ones that keep you awake and thinking). While it is not "sedative", it calms the mind, helping to support shorter sleep latency.
GABA
GABA-ergic neurons are essential for sleep function, as GABA plays an important role in quietening down the nervous system and slowing down arousal functions in the brain. The brain needs large amounts of GABA, not just to fall asleep, but to stay asleep. Supplementing with GABA can help you to feel relaxed, less aroused, and fall asleep faster.
SKULLCAP
Scutellaria baicalensis, not to be confused with Scutellaria laterifolia, is commonly known as Chinese skullcap, and contains an active compound called baicalin and baicalein. It is often paired with valerian in sleep preparations (as we have done!). Like many other ingredients in Hypnos, Skullcap acts on the GABA-ergic system, as well as being gently sedative.
VALERIAN
Valerian root is an ancient remedy for any ailments related to sleep. It is backed by clinical research for its ability to reduce sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and increasing total sleep duration. Participants of the study also reported fewer anxiety symptoms, something that often impacts a good night's sleep.
WHAT HYPNOS MAGNESIUM-BASED SLEEP AID IS
Hypnos Magnesium-based Sleep Aid is a gently relaxing beverage designed to assist with sleep complaints. Made with magnesium glycinate, the preferred form of magnesium for sleep, as well as L-theanine, GABA, valerian, and skullcap, Hypnos is a blend of herbs and nutraceuticals that help to calm arousal in the brain and assist in a better night's sleep.
WHAT HYPNOS MAGNESIUM-BASED SLEEP AID IS GOOD FOR
Hypnos is good for helping to calm a nervous mind before bed, as well as relaxing the muscles in preparation for sleep. This beverage assists with many of the aspects that impact a good night's sleep, such as an active, wakeful mind, and anxiety symptoms. Hypnos is for anybody who experiences difficulty getting to sleep or feels that their sleep quality could use some improvement.
