35 People On How sleep support+ Helps Them Sleep Better & Wake Up Refreshed*
Last year, mindbodygreen released its first line of targeted supplements—each one formulated to help support a specific health need.* Out of a handful of powerful blends, one has emerged as the best-seller: sleep support+.
There are a few things that set sleep support+ apart from other sleep supplements. Our formula starts with magnesium bisglycinate, a readily absorbed form of magnesium that's combined with the amino acid glycine to promote a steady state of relaxation.*
From there, we consulted with leading doctors and researchers to find premium ingredients that could help support magnesium's ability to help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.* We landed on jujube seed extract, a calming fruit used in traditional Chinese medicine, and PharmaGABA®, an amino acid neurotransmitter shown to help enhance natural sleep quality in clinical trials.*
The finished product has been rigorously tested to ensure that it's made from the highest-quality ingredients and nothing else.
As for the results? Well, let's let the reviews take it from here.
"I noticed the difference the very first night."
"I've always considered myself a 'good sleeper' but as a mom thought waking up throughout the night was normal. Fast-forward to now, my children are grown and married, and I'm still waking up throughout the night. sleep support+ provides a full, wonderful night's sleep for me. I noticed the difference the very first night. Thank you for all mindbodygreen does."*

"The more refreshed morning mood sets the tone for a much better day."
"Especially during this pandemic, the sleep support+ supplement helped me so much to wake up more refreshed and relaxed.

The more refreshed morning mood sets the tone for a much better day."*

"I finally feel rested for the first time in years, and I couldn't be more grateful this exists."*
"Parenting, life, general anxiousness, and being 35 all seem to get in the way of me sleeping as well as I once did. I've tried *all* sorts of things, and they either don't work or do and then wear off and stop being effective shortly after. Or, they make me feel terrible and groggy when I wake up. But thanks to mbg's sleep support+, I am back to sleeping soundly. And the best part is that it even helps me go back to sleep quickly when my kids inevitably wake me up. I finally feel rested for the first time in years, and I couldn't be more grateful this exists."*

—Debra D.

"I simply love this stuff!"
"I'm on my third bottle, and will continue to utilize this each and every night. I run a fairly stressful real estate investment company, and sleep is my most valuable tool to help me re-energize. When I wake up at 3am, it causes such a huge cascade of delays... plus the impact it has on my immune system and overall health. This somehow helps me stay asleep even with all the stress... I simply love this stuff!"*

—Michele K.
"Sleep is deeper and easier to come by."
"I was a little skeptical reading other reviews but have been pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness. Sleep is deeper and easier to come by. I did find that I am a little more sensitive (as I am to many things) and I have to be careful not to take it too soon. 30 minutes to an hour max before I’m ready to get in bed works for me. And often I take just 1 instead of 2 if I’m already feeling relaxed and sleepy. Overall very happy to have this product in my healthy repertoire."*
