Which Supplements Should I Take At Night?

Building a consistent daily routine, both morning and night, is an important part of supporting overall wellness.   

While mornings are often focused on nutrients that get you ready for a great day ahead, evenings offer a chance to slow down and give your body important nutrients and botanical ingredients that support your wind-down routine.    

If you’ve ever wondered which supplements make the most sense to take at night, here’s a simple guide to help you build an evening supplement routine that you’ll look forward to.  


Supporting Mineral Levels with a Nighttime Multimineral 

At night, your body naturally shifts into repair and restoration mode, making it an ideal time to support key mineral levels that play an important role in overall wellness. Just like you support vitamin levels in the morning with a multivitamin, you can keep a routine by enjoying your minerals in the evening.  

Our Liquid Nighttime Multimineral is designed to be an easy, delicious addition to your evening routine, providing a blend of minerals like magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium, along with vitamin D to support overall wellness. This melatonin-free nighttime formula comes in a delicious liquid format available in coconut, cranberry, and pineapple flavors. 

For those looking for additional support, our lemonade-flavored Extra Strength Liquid Nighttime Multimineral provides the same foundation with higher levels of magnesium compared to our regular multiminerals to help further support your evening routine. 

And if skin support is part of your nighttime goals, our Liquid Nighttime Multimineral + Skin Renew includes the same essential minerals from our Liquid Nighttime Multiminerals, plus clinically studied Sepitone™ to help support skin elasticity, firmness, and texture in women.

 

Herbal Supplements for Nighttime Support 

Certain herbs have been traditionally used for centuries to promote relaxation and support mood, making them excellent natural sleep aids. Consider adding one or more of these herbs to your evening routine: 

  • Valerian Root: Do you occasionally find it difficult to relax or fall asleep? Valeriana officinalis has a long history of traditional use as a calming, sleep-enhancing plant! 
  • Lemon Balm Leaf: Melissa officinalis is a nervine herb that supports stress levels and may also help with relaxation. 
  • Ashwagandha Root: This herb is part of a group of plants traditionally known to soothe and support the mind and nervous system. 


L-Theanine: An Amino Acid for Relaxation 

This amino acid is found primarily in green and black tea and some mushrooms that may support a good night’s sleep.  

Plus, L-theanine promotes relaxation and may ease occasional anxiety and stress while supporting cognitive function. 


Melatonin: Sleep Hormone Support (Use Occasionally) 

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Naturally produced by the body’s pineal gland in response to darkness, it helps the timing of your circadian rhythm as well as sleep. 

While melatonin can be a powerful tool for occasional sleep support, experts recommend not relying on it nightly, as long-term use may impact your body’s natural melatonin production. 

Melatonin can be beneficial when adjusting to new time zones or overcoming occasional sleep disruptions. 

If you prefer a melatonin-free approach, our delicious, strawberry-flavored Melatonin-Free Sleep Gummies offer a gentle way to support your bedtime routine with botanicals like L-theanine, chamomile, and lemon balm.
