No, and that's intentional. Sleep State is not a sedative. It doesn't contain melatonin, valerian, antihistamines or pharmaceutical sleep aids. Instead it removes the physiological barriers to natural sleep: reducing cortisol, calming GABA-A receptor over-excitation, relaxing muscle tension and quieting neural over-activity. Most people fall asleep more easily and sleep more deeply, but the sleep feels entirely natural.

Lion's Mane's NGF-stimulating properties are valuable any time neural repair and growth occur. During slow-wave sleep, the brain consolidates memory, repairs neural pathways and clears metabolic waste. Taking Lion's Mane before sleep enhances the quality of this overnight maintenance. It's a different application of the same mechanism, and one of the things that makes Sleep State distinct from standard sleep supplements.

The vast majority of users report the opposite, waking clearer and more cognitively ready than usual. This is partly because Sleep State supports deep (slow-wave) sleep quality rather than increasing sleep duration through sedation, and partly because Lion's Mane and NAC support overnight brain repair rather than just switching off the system.

30–60 minutes before bed with water. For particularly restless nights or higher stress periods, up to 3 capsules can be taken. Consistency matters, the full benefits, particularly from Reishi and Lion's Mane, build over 2-4 weeks of daily use.

Blue Spirulina provides phycocyanin, a potent antioxidant that supports the glymphatic system's overnight brain detoxification. Sleep is the only time this waste-clearance system operates at full capacity. It also gives Sleep State capsules their distinctive blue colour, which is a direct result of the ingredient's presence rather than any added colouring.

Review your total daily magnesium intake. Sleep State contains 37.5mg of Magnesium Glycinate per capsule (75mg per 2-capsule serving) a relatively modest amount. If you're already supplementing with magnesium elsewhere, taking both is generally fine within normal daily intake limits (400mg/day for adults), but check your combined total.

Functional mushrooms are varieties known for their naturally occurring compounds that support wellbeing. Unlike the mushrooms we use for cooking, they’re valued for benefits like focus, immune support, and stress balance.

Adaptogens are botanicals that help the body maintain balance during physical or emotional stress. They’ve been used for centuries in traditional wellness practices and are now widely studied for their supportive properties.

We use high‑quality extracts made from the mushroom’s fruiting body and standardised for active compounds. Every batch is tested for purity, potency, and safety before it reaches you.

Yes — our formulas are designed for daily use. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.

Yes. Our mushroom and adaptogen blends are naturally vegan, gluten‑free, and free from artificial fillers.

We recommend two capsules per serving optimal results. Our extracts are concentrated, so a small daily amount is all you need to feel the benefits.

Most people take Active State (which contains energising mushrooms like cordyceps or lion’s mane) in the morning, and Sleep State (which contains Magnesium Glycinate and L-Theanine) in the evening. And Social State (which contains ashwagandha and 5-HTP) to relieve anxiety for socialising. Consistency matters more than timing.

It's always best to check with your healthcare professional first, but our products are made with natural mushroom extracts and adaptogens, and they’re generally well‑tolerated alongside other medication.

Some people notice effects within a few days, while others experience more gradual changes over 2–4 weeks as the ingredients build in the system.
