The scientifically advanced Som Stack® includes ingredients that are naturally found in your body, a healthy diet, and green tea.

Magnesium is an element essential to the natural production of melatonin, a critical sleep-regulating hormone. Our bodies don’t produce magnesium, so we have to consume it through food, drinks, or (you guessed it!) dietary supplements. We use Magnesium Citrate because its high absorption rate helps you get the most out of every serving, thereby assisting in your natural production of melatonin.

Vitamin B6 is a nutrient that’s vital to the production of serotonin. Yes, serotonin makes you happy. But it’s also a precursor to melatonin. We can’t produce Vitamin B6, so we have to consume it like we do magnesium. We include Vitamin B6 to help aid in the production of melatonin within your body and to ensure you’re natural sleep cycle is operating as effectively as possible.

L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green tea. It’s used to promote relaxation by increasing alpha wave activity in your brain. The first step in falling asleep is a shift in your brain from mostly beta to mostly alpha waves. We like to think of it as tuning the brain to a “sleep-adjacent” state. We use L-Theanine to induce this transition, facilitating the natural, healthy process of going to sleep.

GABA is a neurotransmitter produced naturally in your brain that’s essential to your nervous system’s ability to function properly. It decreases the number of messages being passed back and forth within your brain as sleep approaches to help you relax. GABA works alongside L-theanine in the Som Stack® to aid in facilitating the natural transition to mostly alpha wave activity so your brain is ready to fall asleep.

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally in the brain that’s best known as the primary regulator of your sleep-wake cycle. It controls when you fall asleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. As dusk falls, your brain releases Melatonin to make you feel drowsy and ready for bed. As dawn approaches, Melatonin levels drop and your brain gets ready to wake up. We use Melatonin to aid in the smooth transition from wakefulness to sleep.
