Mind & Sleep

Poor sleep is usually a rhythm problem rather than a sedative problem, and concentration is mostly downstream of sleep and stress. That is why the products that help work alongside a change in habit, not instead of one.

What actually helps
  • A consistent wind-down. Anything sedating is for short spells.
  • Magnesium glycinate rather than oxide, which mostly affects the bowel.
  • Melatonin timed rather than dosed — it shifts the clock, it does not knock you out.
  • Four to six weeks before judging a herbal focus product.
