the base ingredient

why milk protein isolate and not whey?

whey digests fast and burns off within an hour or two — useful after a workout, wasted at midnight. milk protein isolate releases slowly, feeding your muscles while you're actually asleep.

the formula

8 ingredients.
every one earns its place at night.

each dose is set at the level used in the human research behind it — nothing symbolic, nothing filler.

25g

milk protein isolate

delivers 20g of protein plus an extra 500mg of l-tryptophan for a slow, steady release through the night.

80% casein · 7–8h amino acid release
250mg

magnesium bisglycinate

a highly absorbable form of magnesium that promotes relaxation and supports deep sleep.

chelated form for superior absorption & fewer GI issues
220mg

l-tryptophan

the essential amino acid your body uses to support its natural sleep cycle.

200mg

5-htp

helps boost serotonin production for a calmer, quieter mind before bed.

500mg

gaba

supports stress relief and mental quiet as you wind down.

250mg

l-theanine

eases tension without drowsiness, so mornings stay clear-headed.

25mg

zinc citrate

supports the body's natural melatonin production and immune balance.

100mg

vitamin b6

helps convert tryptophan to serotonin to melatonin — your body's own sleep pathway.

we feed the pathway. not bypass it.

your brain converts tryptophan → serotonin → melatonin every night. when serotonin is low, your own melatonin never fully switches on. sleep protein rebuilds from the start.

tryptophan + 5-htp enter your system

two direct precursors to serotonin — one sustained, one fast-acting — give your brain the raw material it’s been missing.

220mg l-tryptophan · 100mg 5-htp

serotonin builds night by night

gaba and magnesium bisglycinate calm the nervous system — reducing the high-alert state that wakes you at 2am.

500mg gaba · 250mg magnesium · 250mg l-theanine

your own melatonin turns back on

not from a bottle. not an override. your brain’s natural production — restored by feeding the pathway it always had.

naturally. night by night.

25g casein rebuilds you for 7 hours

slow-release protein delivers amino acids all night — feeding muscle repair during your deepest sleep phases.

the 14-night experience

your nervous system learned to stay alert. 14 nights to unlearn it.

sleep protein isn’t a sleeping pill. it doesn’t work in 30 minutes. it works over 14 nights because it’s rebuilding something — not chemically overriding it.

think of it like training. you don’t go to the gym once and get strong. you show up. it compounds. sleep is the same.

start tonight →
nights 1–4 · settling in

your body is adjusting.

sleep may feel similar. this is normal — expected even. the pathway is beginning to refuel. don’t stop here.

nights 5–9 · first shifts

the nervous system starts to quiet.

many people notice they’re waking less, falling back to sleep faster, or feeling calmer at bedtime. the 2am moment starts to ease.

nights 10–14 · the turn

waking up recovered. not just rested.

deeper sleep. less midnight waking. muscles feeling the overnight repair. this is what sleep protein was built for.

melatonin puts you to sleep. it doesn’t fix why you can’t.

melatonin replaces your brain’s own signal — and the longer you take it, the less your brain makes itself. sleep protein works differently.

  • replaces your body’s own signal

suppression

  • suppresses rem sleep cycles
  • morning grogginess common
  • dependency risk
  • no recovery benefit
  • doesn’t address root cause
  • licensed for sleep aid only
sleep protein®

  • helps relieve sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance
  • helps temporarily promote relaxation
  • assists in building lean muscle tissue
