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.
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.
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.
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.
The ritual
Rip. Pour. Mix.
Your calm, made in three easy steps.

What’s in every stick
Foundation mineral
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.
Zero calories per drink make for a perfect anytime escape and unwind.
Switch to a naturally sweet drink for more mindful moments.
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.

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.
