Best Supplements for Sleep & Stress Recovery
Great sleep is a downstream effect of a calm nervous system and balanced cortisol rhythm. Our sleep formulas target both the pre-sleep wind-down and the overnight recovery process — without dependency or grogginess.
The stress-sleep axis
Elevated evening cortisol is the #1 disruptor of sleep onset and deep-sleep architecture. Adaptogens such as ashwagandha lower cortisol; magnesium glycinate and L-theanine activate parasympathetic tone.
The Nūjeva sleep protocol
60–90 minutes before bed: magnesium glycinate 300–400 mg + L-theanine 200 mg + ashwagandha KSM-66 300 mg. Optional: reishi or apigenin for deeper stage-3 sleep.
Frequently asked questions
What is better than melatonin for sleep?
For most adults, magnesium glycinate + L-theanine + ashwagandha produces deeper, more sustainable sleep than melatonin — without hormonal side effects.
Can I take these supplements every night?
Yes — magnesium, L-theanine, and ashwagandha are all well-tolerated for daily long-term use and don't build tolerance.
