Natural. Clean.

Plants used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Vetted by two years of R&D and the peer-reviewed literature. The lineage and the data, both.

01

Six plants. Peer-reviewed.

Spine date seed. Poria. Red date. Magnolia fruit. Tart cherry. Atractylodes. Each one chosen for a published mechanism, not because it sounds exotic on the bottle.

02

Two years of R&D.

Started with dozens of candidates and whittled down. Iterated extraction methods. Read the studies. Six survived the vetting.

03

What's not in it.

No melatonin. No CBD. No synthetic sedatives. No proprietary blends. Goodbye reishi. Goodbye ashwagandha. Nothing here for shelf appeal.

Most sleep aids cost you the morning.

Melatonin leaves you foggy during 6am workouts. Disrupts natural rhythms. Builds dependency over months. You sleep, but you wake up paying for it.

Wake up ready for the work.

Plant compounds extend the deep sleep and REM your body uses for muscle repair, hormone release, and memory consolidation. The hours in bed actually translate to recovery.

A natural formula for everyday performance

Six ingredients. Nothing synthetic

6 plant compounds formulated from traditional Asian medicine, non-habit forming.

+ Spine Date Seed (cortisol)
+ Poria Cocos (REM)
+ Red Date (deep sleep)
+ Magnolia Fruit (onset)
+ Atractylodes (calm)
+ Tart Cherry (stress)

Made for early starts.

Wake up where you mean to be. For the 5am training. For the run with the dog. For the kids' breakfast. For the day that keeps asking for more after that.

Recovery, not sedation.

Extends the deep sleep and REM your body actually uses for muscle repair, hormone regulation, and cognitive recovery. The depth of sleep you wanted in the first place.

Spine Date Seed

Activates GABA and serotonin pathways. Lowers cortisol. Helps the body get into deep sleep and stay there.

Poria Cocos

Extends time in REM and deep sleep. The recovery phases your body actually uses.

Red Date

GABA-mediated sleep continuity. Supports blood flow and overnight repair.

Magnolia Fruit

Shortens sleep onset. Reduces cortisol. A quieter mind at bedtime.

Tart Cherry

Natural melatonin precursors and anthocyanins. Plant-paced recovery, not a synthetic dose.

Atractylodes

Calms the nervous system. Helps the body settle for the night.
