Quiet Sleep Melatonin-Free
For those who are sensitive to melatonin or want to avoid hormonal supplements, this formula uses a potent blend of botanical extracts and magnesium to promote relaxation through the GABA pathway.
Quality & Materials
Includes 120mg Magnesium (as Citrate), standardized Magnolia extract (Honokiol), and Sensoril Ashwagandha. The inclusion of Honokiol is a sophisticated choice as it acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA-A receptors.
Evidence & Testing
Sensoril Ashwagandha has multiple RCTs demonstrating its ability to lower cortisol and improve sleep quality scores (PSQI).
Brand Transparency
Life Extension is a leader in transparency, offering a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every single product they sell, accessible via their website with a lot number.
Value Assessment
Outstanding value at approximately $0.60 per serving, making it the most accessible gold-tier sleep stack for long-term use.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most melatonin-free sleep aids rely solely on weak herbal teas or underdosed valerian root. Life Extension uses standardized extracts of Honokiol (from Magnolia) and Ashwagandha (Sensoril) which have much stronger clinical backing for stress reduction and sleep onset.
