SleepHD

• Supports a restful sleep experience
• Promotes a sense of relaxation
• Encourages overall mood balance
• Aims to support healthy cortisol levels

Prioritizing quality sleep can help athletes optimize their recovery and enhance their performance. SleepHD is crafted to help you achieve the restful sleep you need.

Melatonin is the shortcut nearly every sleep supplement is built on. It works, and plenty of people are happy taking it — but plenty are not, whether because of grogginess the next morning or simply not wanting a hormone every night indefinitely. SleepHD is built without it, and works on relaxation, cortisol and sleep quality instead.

Six hundred milligrams of phosphatidylserine at 50% gives 300 mg of actual phosphatidylserine per serving — a real dose of the ingredient behind the healthy cortisol response this formula is built around. Cortisol is what keeps you alert, and a day that ends with it still elevated is a night that starts badly. This is the part of the formula aimed at the transition rather than at sleep itself.

Magnesium and zinc are included as TRAACS branded bisglycinate chelates. Valerian root at a 4:1 extract is equivalent to 800 mg of dried root. VitaCherry Montmorency tart cherry is a natural source of sleep-supporting compounds and has been studied in its own right for exercise recovery. Together they are aimed at winding down rather than knocking you out.

Adaptation to training does not happen in the gym. It happens afterwards, and most of it happens overnight. A recovery stack that covers protein, creatine and everything else while leaving sleep to chance is missing the largest single input there is.

This formula contains L-tryptophan and 5-HTP, both of which the body uses to make serotonin. If you take an antidepressant or any other serotonergic medication, speak to your doctor before taking it. It also contains valerian and can cause drowsiness, so do not drive or operate machinery after taking it.
