During sleep, the body repairs tissues, muscles, and cells. Nutrients like magnesium and myo-inositol support relaxation and nervous system balance, while zinc aids immune repair, and choline enhances cellular regeneration. Vitamin C supports collagen formation and repair, helping keep tissues healthy. Each nutrient collectively enhances restorative sleep functions.
Soothing and warming, ginger is the ideal end-of-day ingredient, supporting digestion and easing post-meal discomfort. Its natural compounds, like gingerol, enhance digestive enzyme activity and reduce gas buildup, helping you unwind and feel comfortably relaxed before bedtime.
A 2007 study found that glycine before bedtime improved sleep quality, shortened time to fall asleep, and reduced daytime sleepiness, likely due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Glycine may also help with better sleep by lowering core body temperature and supporting circadian rhythm regulation.
We have thoughtfully selected a highly bioavailable form of magnesium, derived from seawater and sustainably harvested red algae from the pristine Irish Sea. This choice ensures exceptional potency while reflecting our dedication to both your health and environmental responsibility.
True Nightcap’s synergy of ingredients are great for supporting relaxation and sleep, but no need to worry about feeling drowsy. Unlike sedatives, they work by supporting the nervous system, promoting calm, and aiding recovery processes. This makes True Nightcap versatile enough for any time you feel you need some relaxation or immune support, not just before bed.

"A lovely lemony- ginger powder that makes a great hot drink in the evening. A pleasure to use, so yet another addition to my routine that has been so easy to adopt and build in. Definitely makes a difference to the quality of sleep. I alternate between this and the cacao+collagen in the evenings. Nice small mug is all that’s required."
"I dont always feel Like a hot milky drink before bed so this is perfect over ice or as a warm toddy. I sleep so well and it’s my new relaxing ritual"
"I’ve been drinking this at night, I’m starting to sleep well,after years of not sleeping well it’s amazing, I wasn’t keen on the taste but getting used to it now I hope it continues"
"This product is great for a hot bedtime drink, it’s really relaxing and helps you to get a good nights sleep, the powder can be a little indissoluble so it’s best not to drink right to the bottom of the cup."
"Started taking this to help with sleep as was waking up a lot. I could tell I was sleeping better from the get go as felt more refreshed than usual. The big difference I noticed was when I didn't take it one evening and was up several times in the night! Wouldn't go back now. It's got a quite strong gingery taste that took some getting used to. At first I mixed it with blackcurrent squash but now I like the taste on it's own. I just drink it with dinner to give it time to kick in. Highly recommend!"
"Soothing and relaxing way to unwind and prepare for sleep, enjoyable drink that is particularly warming for those cosy nights."
"I’m really sorry ,but I have only had 1 serving of true nightcap I really did not like the taste of it."
"Definitely makes me sleep. Bit strong at first - can really taste the ginger but by adding a small bit of manuka honey this help with that."
"This product appears to work for me! My sleep has improved enormously and more often than not I have an unbroken night’s sleep. I gave it 4 stars because despite its success I find the powder does not dissolve well in hot water. When making the drink the powder in the air seems to irritate my chest and makes me cough. It would also be nice to receive a full jar rather than one that is only 2/3 full. I do understand that this could be due to the settling of the contents but I also buy the marine collagen and that jar is almost full!"
"Strong lemon taste, but you do get used to it. Monitored my sleep stages and definately get more deep sleep when using this and wake up feeling much more rested and ready to get up. I'm not sure it helps me feel relaxed/ get more sleep though. So, it's probably better used if you want to feel more awake the next day."
