Our “multi-pathway” formulation affords each ingredient the ability to target a different piece of the sleep, relaxation, anxiety puzzle. Here's a breakdown of the potential benefits and how each ingredient complements the other:
 
🌙 1. CBN (Cannabinol) – Physical Relaxation + Sedation Support
 
Primary role: Promote drowsiness and body relaxation
 
Mildly sedating cannabinoid
Interacts with the endocannabinoid system (CB1/CB2 receptors)
May calm nervous system activity
Can reduce physical discomfort that interferes with sleep
 
Best for: Falling asleep and body tension
 
Strength of evidence: Limited but promising
 
Think of CBN as the “body wind-down” component.
 
🌿 2. Ashwagandha – Stress & Cortisol Reduction
 
Primary role: Reduces stress and anxiety
 
Adaptogen that helps regulate cortisol (your stress hormone)
May lower nighttime cortisol spikes
Supports GABA activity (calming neurotransmitter)
Can improve sleep quality in stressed individuals
 
Best for: Stress-related insomnia, racing thoughts
 
Evidence: Moderate human research for stress reduction and sleep improvement
 
Ashwagandha helps calm the mind so you’re not lying awake thinking.
 
🌸 3. Lavender – Nervous System Calming
 
Primary role: Anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects
 
Contains linalool, which affects GABA receptors
Reduces sympathetic nervous system activity (“fight or flight”)
May lower heart rate and promote calm
 
Clinical studies (especially oral lavender extracts like Silexan) show:
 
Reduced anxiety
Improved sleep quality
 
Best for: Mental restlessness and light sleep. Lavender is like a gentle nervous-system “softener.”
 
🌙 4. Melatonin – Circadian Rhythm Regulator
 
Primary role: Signals your brain it’s time to sleep
 
Hormone naturally released in darkness
Helps regulate sleep-wake timing
Particularly helpful for:
Delayed sleep phase
Jet lag
Trouble falling asleep
 
Important: Melatonin doesn’t sedate you — it shifts your biological clock.
 
Best for: Difficulty falling asleep at a consistent time. Think of melatonin as the “sleep timing switch.”
 
🫐 5. Elderberry – Immune & Inflammation Support
 
Primary role: General wellness, Immune support (especially in nighttime recovery formulas)
 
Rich in antioxidants
Supports immune function
May reduce inflammation
