The four ingredients
Magnesium is an essential mineral; here it comes as magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Melatonin is a hormone the pineal gland produces in the evening. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that acts as a messenger in the nervous system. L-theanine is an amino acid best known from tea leaves.
The powder base is maltodextrin, rice hull powder, citric acid, beet juice powder, flavour and stevia leaf extract.
How it compares
Natural Factors also sells a plain Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 mg Powder in the same 120 g size, with no melatonin. Stress-Relax Nighttime adds the melatonin, GABA and L-theanine for evening use. Stress-Relax Tranquil Sleep is the same line's chewable and softgel option.
How to take it
Adults 19 and over take 1 to 2 servings once a day. Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid taking it with alcohol or other products that cause drowsiness. The label also says: "When using this product avoid driving or using machinery for 5 hours." Consult a health care practitioner before use if you take prescription medication, including blood thinners, steroids or blood pressure medication, or if you have a heart, immune, liver or kidney condition, seizures, asthma or diabetes. Some people may experience diarrhoea. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
Adults who already take magnesium in the evening and want melatonin, GABA and L-theanine in the same drink. It also suits shift workers and travellers crossing time zones eastward who would rather mix a powder than swallow tablets.
