Sleep Support Supplements: What Really Works

Supplements That Support Sleep

Magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, and melatonin are among the most researched. Herbs like ashwagandha and passionflower may also help. Consistency and timing matter as much as the supplement itself.

Dosage and Timing

Take sleep supplements 30–60 minutes before bed. Start with lower doses and increase only if needed. Avoid high-dose melatonin long-term; prefer 0.5–3 mg. Magnesium glycinate is gentle and supports relaxation.

Lifestyle First

Supplements work best with good sleep hygiene: consistent schedule, dark room, limited screens before bed, and avoiding caffeine late in the day. Chat with SwiftHerb's AI for personalized sleep stack recommendations.
