''It’s important that we understand what helps and hinders our sleep. Caffeinated drinks are probably the biggest concern. Having your last caffeine containing drink around 9-hours before bed is the general recommendation to avoid sleep disturbance. Research has also shown that kiwi, cherry, theanine and tryptophan may all benefit sleep quality and reduce the time taken to fall asleep. All of which are included in this perfect little sleep shot.''

The Science Behind Our Sleep Wellness Shot
Contains L-tryptophan 5HTP – L-Tryptophan 5HTP is plant-based, derived from Griffonia seed. Known to boost the production of serotonin and melatonin, AKA the ‘happy hormone’ and ‘sleep hormone’, L-tryptophan has long been regarded for its beneficial effects on mood and anxiety.
Contains Chamomile – Chamomile is made from the dried and powdered flowers of the plant Matricaria recutita L. and is commonly regarded as a mild tranquilizer or sleep inducer. Its calming effects may be attributed to an antioxidant called apigenin, which is found in abundance in chamomile tea. Chamomile is a traditional ingredient in drinks to help sleep and has been used for years as an aid to help those suffering with insomnia. A caffeine-free ingredient, chamomile is known for its calming and soothing properties.
Contains Tart Cherry – increases the bioavailability and efficiency of tryptophan whilst increasing the body’s production of the sleep hormone melatonin, which is known to regulate sleep cycles.
Contains Apple – Apples are a good source of potassium and vitamin B6 which both aid sleep.
Contains Kiwi – Kiwi is rich in serotonin and antioxidants, both of which increase sleep efficiency.
Contains Honey – Honey helps the brain release melatonin. Contains natural sugars to raise insulin levels, allowing L-tryptophan to enter the brain.
