Night Shred Pack

SUPRESA® SAFFRON — 176.5 mg

A trademarked saffron extract studied in human trials for supporting appetite control and reducing snacking between meals. 176.5 mg is the exact dose those studies used, not a fraction of it.†

GLUCOVANTAGE® — 100 mg

Dihydroberberine, a form of berberine the body absorbs several times more readily than the standard version, studied for supporting healthy glucose metabolism. 100 mg is the dose it was built around.†

GLUCOMANNAN — 1 g

A soluble fiber from konjac root that absorbs water and expands in the stomach, which is exactly why it goes down with a full glass of water. It works on fullness, not stimulation.†

ASIAN GINSENG — 250 mg

Panax ginseng standardized to 7% ginsenosides, long used and studied for supporting energy and metabolic function. Standardized means every capsule carries the same amount rather than whatever the batch happened to contain.†

CHROMIUM — 200 mcg

An essential trace mineral involved in how your body handles carbohydrates and responds to insulin. 200 mcg, the amount most of the research uses.†

PARADOXINE® — 50 mg

A standardized grains of paradise extract, studied for its activation of brown adipose tissue, the metabolically active fat that produces heat rather than storing energy. Fifty milligrams here, above the amount used in the published human work. It is the reason this is a nighttime formula and not just a sleep aid.

KSM-66® ASHWAGANDHA — 300 mg

The most clinically studied ashwagandha extract available, a full-spectrum root extract standardized for withanolides. Studied for its support of a healthy cortisol response and resilience to everyday stress. Most bad nights are built during the day, and this is the ingredient that addresses that end of it. Organic, vegan, and named on the label with its amount.

MAGTEIN® — 200 mg

Magnesium L-threonate, the form developed at MIT specifically to raise magnesium levels in the brain rather than only in the blood. Most magnesium supplements use oxide or citrate, which are cheaper and largely stay in the gut. Magtein® is the version chosen when the target is cognitive relaxation rather than a bowel movement.

L-TRYPTOPHAN — 750 mg

The essential amino acid your body converts into serotonin and, downstream of that, its own melatonin. Your body cannot make it, which means it comes from food or it comes from here. At 750 mg it is the largest single ingredient in the formula, and it is the reason NocThermo can run melatonin low.

GABA — 500 mg

Gamma aminobutyric acid, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human nervous system. It quiets signaling, which is exactly what is not happening when you are in bed replaying the day. Five hundred milligrams, printed on its own line.

MUCUNA PRURIENS — 300 mg

A seed extract used in Ayurvedic practice for centuries and known as the richest natural source of L-dopa, the direct precursor to dopamine. Included for mood and nervous system support, and to keep the formula from being purely sedating. Three hundred milligrams of seed extract, listed by name and part used.

APIGENIN — 50 mg

A naturally occurring flavonoid, best known as the compound behind chamomile's long reputation as an evening tea. It interacts with the same receptor family GABA works on, which is why the two are paired here rather than used alone. Fifty milligrams, in a capsule, instead of hoping a mug of tea does the work.

MELATONIN — 3 mg

Three milligrams, and that is deliberate. Melatonin is a signal telling your body the night has started, not a sedative, and the research on it does not improve above roughly this range. The ten and twelve milligram doses on the shelf next to this are why people wake up feeling drugged. Enough to start the night. Not enough to own the morning.

MAX CATALYST — 2 mg

Black pepper extract, in the formula for exactly one reason: to help everything above it absorb. Two milligrams is a small number doing a disproportionate amount of work, which is why it gets its own line on the panel instead of being folded into a blend.†
