Quality Sleep
Evening drinks, magnesium, amino acids and herbal blends. Choose by ingredients, preparation and recommended serving; 'night' does not mean the same thing on every product. When combining them with daytime supplements, account for overlapping magnesium and vitamins.

Choosing and using evening preparations
Mixing drinks, serving sizes, allergens and overlap with daytime supplements.
Are all evening drinks prepared the same way?
No. Sleep Prep uses 10 g of powder with 100 ml of hot water about an hour before bed. True Nightcap has a 6 g serving mixed into 250 ml of a cold or warm drink, whereas Magnesium Good Night is mixed into a cold drink. Do not swap scoops between packs. If you do not have the scoop, use the serving weight in grams rather than estimating from the volume of a different blend.
How do I find the actual amount of magnesium in a blend?
Look for 'magnesium' or 'elemental magnesium', not the weight of the whole magnesium compound. In 2 capsules, CALM Magnesium + GABA + B6 contains 1091 mg of bisglycinate, providing 120 mg of magnesium. Magnesium Good Night lists 157 mg of magnesium in a single scoop weighing 1 g. Compare full recommended servings; magnesium, GABA and herbs are different ingredients, and their milligrams do not all count towards the magnesium amount.
Can I add evening magnesium to daytime magnesium or a multivitamin?
Not automatically. For example, full servings of both products in BJP Magnesium Duo contain a combined 600 mg of magnesium. Discuss this combination with a doctor or pharmacist first. Check vitamin B6 too: Magnesium Good Night contains 12 mg of B6 in 2 scoops. Count each blend at the amount you actually take, and do not add another product just because its name includes 'sleep'.
Is evening hot chocolate suitable for vegans or people with a milk allergy?
Sleep Prep is not: it contains buttermilk powder, micellar casein and Lactium milk peptides. Mixing it with water alone does not remove the milk ingredients. If you are looking for another option, Cherry Night is described as vegan; still check its current label and the drink you mix it into. The botanical origin of herbs in a blend tells you nothing about allergens in the other ingredients.
What if an evening supplement does not help and I still sleep poorly?
Do not automatically increase the dose or layer on more evening blends. Try recording when you fall asleep and wake up, along with your caffeine intake; keep a regular routine and a quiet, dark bedroom. If the problem persists or affects your daytime functioning, discuss it with a doctor. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a recommended treatment for long-term insomnia; a supplement cannot identify the cause of the problem.
