Let's get you sleeping better tonight.
One sachet a night to ease the tiredness and tension of a long day. A box of 20 sachets, drug-free, non-habit-forming, and it actually tastes good.

Orange & Yuzu
Sold out
Wild Berry
Orange & Yuzu leads with warm, ripe sweet orange, then a crisp citrus twist cuts through it. Like a grown-up orange squash. Wild Berry is raspberry and redcurrant, bright and clean with a fine tart edge, closer to Robinsons Fruit & Barley than a sweet cordial. Neither is sickly, neither tastes like a supplement. Both are better cold.
Whenever the day needs closing down. Most people make it around six, while dinner is on or once the laptop is shut. There is no window you have to hit and nothing to time. One sachet, 300ml of cold water, stir. Ice optional.
No. There is no melatonin and nothing sedating in it, so you are fine to have it while you are still up and about. It is a drink you have at the end of the day, not something you take to fall asleep.
150mg of magnesium a sachet, 40% of your daily reference intake, as bisglycinate and citrate rather than the cheaper oxide most drinks hide behind. Bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach, citrate is quick to take up. With vitamin C, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, and lemon balm and chamomile extracts. Sweetened with stevia. No sugar, no melatonin, nothing artificial.
A box every 28 days at £16.00 instead of £19.95, with free next-day delivery every time. Delay a delivery if you are still working through the last one, switch flavour, change how often it comes, or cancel. All from your account, no notice period. One-time orders under £25 have £2.95 postage, which is the other reason most people subscribe.
If your evenings feel like they need a full stop, probably. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for under 18s. If you take any medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first, and it is worth checking your other supplements so you are not doubling up on magnesium.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Six in ten UK adults fall short of the recommended intake, and magnesium is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions. Your body cannot make it, so it all has to come from what you eat and drink. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Because they do different jobs. Bisglycinate is bound to an amino acid, which makes it gentle on the stomach and easy to take every day. Citrate is quicker to take up. Most drinks use magnesium oxide instead, which is cheap and poorly absorbed. Together they are 150mg a sachet, 40% of your daily reference intake.
Honestly, it varies. Some people notice their evenings feel easier within a week or two, others take longer, and some find it just becomes a nice habit. Magnesium is a nutrient, not a switch. Give it a month before you decide, which is roughly what one box covers.
No, and it never has. Melatonin is a prescription-only medicine in the UK. Calm is built on magnesium, with vitamin C, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, and lemon balm and chamomile extracts.
If you are on any medication or under medical supervision, check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start. Magnesium interacts with some medicines and a pharmacist can tell you in about a minute. Worth checking your other supplements too, so you are not doubling up without meaning to.
