> Why Melatonin is Bad For You (coming soon).

I am curious to read why this is bad. My doc thinks this is perfectly fine

Going out on a limb here, but I’m assuming it’s meant to be “why [exogenous] melatonin is bad for you”.

Melatonin is naturally secreted by the pineal gland, which like other hormones gets downregulated when taken exogenously over long periods of time.

There’s also studies showing a downregulation in dopamine and seratonin with long term use of melatonin.

This is just magnesium and l-theanine
Yes - they're both great compounds for helping improve sleep performance - (which unlike knockout pills you can improve over time). Most of our customers tracking their sleep with an Oura ring, Whoop band, or Eight sleep see improvements in both their scores and energy levels when adding our product to their nightly routine.
