Wait - it's actually free?

Yes. You get 5 sticks of Calm for nothing the only thing you pay is £2.95 towards postage. No hidden charges. We'd rather you try it, like it, and come back because you want to, not because you forgot to cancel something.

What's actually in it?

+

  • Magnesium - 150mg (40% NRV)
    Our lead ingredient, blended from magnesium citrate and bisglycinate for gentle absorption. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal psychological function, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal muscle function.

  • Plus
    Inulin, natural flavouring, citric acid, and a touch of stevia for sweetness. No sugar. Red beet extract for colour. Orange & Yuzu also contains beta carotene.

How and when do I take it?

+

One stick stirred into cold water (it's even better with ice), but whichever you prefer, about an hour before you want to wind down. Let it be the little cue that tells your evening it's time to slow down.

How will it make me feel?

+

Most people say it's the wind-down ritual itself - the cold drink on a warm summers evening, the pause before bed, that they notice first. Take it five nights back to back and you'll have your answer.

Is it right for me?

+

Calm is for anyone looking to create a more intentional, calming evening routine or moment of calm during the day, especially if you struggle to switch off.

What’s in every stick

The hero

Foundation mineral

Magnesium

150mg · bisglycinate & citrate

Two of the most absorbable forms of magnesium, not the cheap oxide most drinks hide behind. Bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach; citrate is quick to take up. It’s the mineral your body runs on, and the one most of us are quietly short on.

Irresistible taste

Irresistible taste of juicy orange and delicious yuzu.

Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Right, I never leave reviews but these have earned one. Started taking two before bed and the wind down just feels easier now. Not knocked out, just calmer. Mornings are less of a write off too.

I love the website and how it explains everything in so much detail, delivery was quick and the product is amazing! I've already noticed a difference in a couple of weeks, going from struggling to falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night to dropping off quickly, no background mind noise, and sleeping through until the morning. I'm definitely going to subscribe on my next purchase!

Been taking these a just over a week now and I can actually feel my sleep improving. Feels like I’m getting much deeper and uninterrupted sleep as the days pass. Really fast delivery as well!

Fast delivery and after taking for a week can really feel a difference. Better sleep and feel in such a better mood because of it. Love it.

Honestly a game changer for my sleep! I'm always sceptical with what I put in my body but I'm 2 weeks in and I can already notice the difference. I have the Orange & Yuzu wind down drink every day after work and it just settles me into my evenings (it also tastes very nostalgic! Like Robinsons but tastier!). And then I take two of the sleep capsules every night just before bed and I can feel myself drifting off quicker and quicker every day. I have recommend it to all of my friends and will be sticking to the subscription! Love the customer service too. Great product!!!! Where have you been all my life

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

No catch. The five sticks are free - the £2.95 just covers posting them to you. We'd rather earn your next order than trap you into it.

No. It's a one-off: five sticks for the price of postage, no subscription, no auto-renewal, nothing taken from your account afterwards. If you want more, you come back and order it yourself

Nothing automatic, no charge, no surprise box turning up. If you've enjoyed it, a full 14-stick pack is there when you want it. If it wasn't for you, that's genuinely fine too.

Because magnesium rewards consistency rather than working overnight, and we'd rather you fall for the taste and the ritual before committing to a full pack. Five nights, on us.

Order before midday for next day delivery. Orders placed after midday will be shipped the next working day.

It's a mineral your body runs on, and one a lot of us are quietly short on. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, and to normal muscle function. We use bisglycinate and citrate, gentle on the stomach, easy to absorb.

Tear open a stick, add it to 250–300ml of chilled water, and stir until it dissolves. Ice optional. Most people have theirs in the evening, but there's no wrong time.

Bright, citrusy orange with a sharp twist of yuzu, closer to a grown-up cordial than a supplement. Not chalky, not cloying. Give it a proper stir and it's lovely over ice.

Yes — suitable for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, and GMO-free. No artificial colours, preservatives, fillers, or common allergens — just high-bioavailability nutrients and standardised plant extracts, made in UK GMP facilities with third-party testing.

No - and that's a deliberate choice. Direct melatonin can cause next-day grogginess, headaches, or inconsistent results, and there are questions around long-term use. Instead, the Sleep Capsule nourishes your body's own melatonin pathways naturally, supporting more reliable rest without forced hormone spikes or an unnatural body clock.
