Built on magnesium: what Sleepy Time and Sleep Bombs are allowed to say
Magnesium carries ten authorised claims in Great Britain, and four of them are the reason it is the base of our evening range. The wording in bold is fixed by the register; the explanation that follows describes only how magnesium does it.
Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
Nerve cells generate and pass on signals by moving ions across their membranes, and magnesium regulates those channels. With adequate intake, that signalling runs normally through the evening and overnight as it does by day.
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function
The same ion-channel role, in the brain. The pathways that carry ordinary thinking and mood use magnesium as a cofactor.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function
Calcium makes a muscle fibre contract; magnesium is needed for it to relax again and for the pumps that reset it. Adequate magnesium keeps that cycle normal.
Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Magnesium is needed by the enzymes that release energy from food. When intake is adequate, those reactions run normally, which is what the register wording describes.
Plus six more
Electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism, protein synthesis, normal bones, normal teeth and cell division, all listed on the magnesium collection page.
Why glycinate, and why the evening
Glycinate is the gentlest common form of magnesium on the stomach, which suits a serving taken with the evening meal. Every magnesium product here clears the 15% NRV threshold at its daily serving, so the claims apply.

Shop now →A word on what the botanicals and L-theanine can say
L-theanine, valerian and ashwagandha have no authorised health claim in Great Britain, so their cards above give you the amount and the extract ratio and nothing else. They are in the evening range because customers take them with the magnesium, and we would rather tell you the law than dress them up. The magnesium products are where the claims are.
Magnesium L-threonate: line under review
Magnesium L-threonate is a novel food in Great Britain and the authorisation covers a specific branded material. We are reviewing our L-threonate capsules against it and have left them off the cards until that completes. The magnesium in them carries the standard magnesium claims.
Building an evening routine
| Step | What | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sleepy Time capsules or Sleep Bombs tablets: two, with the evening meal | With food, any time after 6pm |
| 2 | L-theanine 600mg, or swap step 1 for the Magnesium + L-Theanine capsule | With the magnesium |
| 3 | Valerian root, if you use it | An hour before bed; never before driving or with alcohol |
| 4 | Ashwagandha, if you use it | With the evening meal; not in pregnancy |
| Every night | Screens off, room dark and cool, same time each night | The routine matters more than any capsule |
Keep total magnesium from supplements under 400mg a day; two Sleepy Time capsules is 170mg, two Sleep Bombs 86mg. Leave two hours between magnesium and iron, zinc, calcium or tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics.
Safety notes
Before you take any of these
Valerian causes drowsiness: do not drive or use machinery after it, and do not combine it with alcohol, sleeping tablets or sedative medicines; not in pregnancy. Magnesium: check with your GP first if you have reduced kidney function; leave two hours between magnesium and iron, zinc, calcium, bisphosphonates or tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics. Ashwagandha: not in pregnancy; check with a GP if you have a thyroid condition. Melatonin is a prescription-only medicine in the UK and is not in any of these products. Sleep problems lasting more than a few weeks, or with snoring, breathing pauses, low mood or pain, are for a GP. Adults only.

Frequently asked questions
What is in Sleepy Time and Sleep Bombs?
Both are chelated magnesium glycinate, the same compound in two formats. Sleepy Time is a 650mg capsule providing 85mg of magnesium (23% NRV), two a day for 170mg (45% NRV), vegan shell, no fillers. Sleep Bombs are 300mg tablets providing 43mg each, two a day for 86mg (23% NRV), the value format. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal muscle function and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Why magnesium glycinate for the evening?
Glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. It is the form most people find gentle on the stomach at everyday servings, without the laxative effect that oxide and citrate can have, which matters when you are taking it with your evening meal rather than first thing. Both Sleepy Time and Sleep Bombs are fully reacted bisglycinate with the elemental magnesium declared.
What does 'contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system' mean?
Nerve cells generate and pass on signals by moving ions across their membranes, and magnesium regulates those channels. When intake is adequate, that signalling runs normally. The psychological function claim rests on the same mechanism in the brain. These are claims about the nutrient's normal role, and our explanation describes the mechanism only.
Can I take Sleepy Time with L-theanine or valerian?
Yes; that is what the Magnesium + L-Theanine capsule combines, and many customers take Sleepy Time alongside valerian. Valerian causes drowsiness, so take it only in the evening and not before driving. Keep total magnesium from supplements under 400mg a day.
Does L-theanine have an authorised claim?
No. L-theanine is an amino acid found almost only in tea, and it has no authorised health claim in Great Britain, so we do not make one. It is sold by amount: 600mg per capsule in the single product, 325mg alongside 325mg magnesium glycinate in the dual capsule.
Does valerian have an authorised claim?
No. Valerian root is sold on its extract: 20:1, 550mg per capsule, equivalent to 11,000mg of dried root. It causes drowsiness, which is why it belongs in the evening and not with alcohol, sedatives or before driving. Not in pregnancy.
Do you sell melatonin?
No. In the UK melatonin is a prescription-only medicine and cannot be sold as a food supplement. It is not in any product on this page.
When should I see a GP about sleep?
If sleep problems last more than a few weeks, affect your days, or come with snoring, breathing pauses, low mood or pain, see your GP. Persistent insomnia is a medical matter and no food supplement treats it; the products here are an evening routine, and the claims on this page are nutrient claims, not sleep claims.
