Every claim we make traces back to a published study on a specific ingredient at a specific dose. This page is the map: what was studied, at what dose, and what's actually in Night Reset. Every reference links to PubMed — check us.
Read this first — what this page is not. These studies examined individual ingredients, not Night Reset as a finished product. We have not run a product-level clinical trial yet. When we run our first structured beta, the protocol will be published before it starts and the results after it ends — whatever they show. The pre-registered protocol is here.
KSM-66® Ashwagandha — 600mg
Root-only extract, standardized to 5% withanolides. The most-studied branded ashwagandha extract: 70+ published clinical studies.
| Daily doses used in research | 250–600mg |
| In Night Reset | 600mg — the full studied dose |
- Chandrasekhar et al., 2012 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled; 64 adults, 60 days, 600mg/day KSM-66; measured perceived stress and serum cortisol. PubMed 23439798
- Langade et al., 2019 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled; 600mg/day; measured sleep onset latency and sleep quality. PubMed 31728244
- Salve et al., 2019 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled; compared 250mg and 600mg daily for stress and sleep measures. PubMed 32021735
Why root-only matters: the traditional material and the KSM-66 studies above use the root. Some competitors use leaf or leaf-heavy extracts to show bigger withanolide percentages — a different material than what was studied. We wrote a full breakdown.
Magnesium Bisglycinate — 300mg elemental
Fully-reacted (chelated) bisglycinate, non-buffered — magnesium bound to glycine, not mixed with oxide.
| Elemental doses used in research | 225–500mg |
| In Night Reset | 300mg elemental — inside the studied range |
- Abbasi et al., 2012 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled; 46 older adults, 8 weeks, 500mg elemental; measured sleep time, sleep efficiency, cortisol and melatonin markers. PubMed 23853635
- Nielsen et al., 2010 — magnesium supplementation in adults with poor sleep quality; measured inflammatory markers and sleep measures. PubMed 21199787
- Rondanelli et al., 2011 — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled in older adults; 225mg elemental magnesium in combination with zinc; measured sleep quality scores. PubMed 21226679
Why the form matters: magnesium oxide — the cheapest and most common form — has poor absorption and a known laxative effect. Bisglycinate is the form chosen when the goal is absorption and evening comfort. Our supplier confirmed 12% elemental content in writing — the signature of a fully-reacted chelate.
L-Theanine — 200mg
The calm-without-sedation amino acid found in green tea.
| Daily doses used in research | 200mg (most common single dose) |
| In Night Reset | 200mg — the studied dose |
- Hidese et al., 2019 — randomized, placebo-controlled; healthy adults, 4 weeks, 200mg/day; measured stress-related symptoms and sleep quality. PubMed 31623400
- Rao et al., 2015 — review of L-theanine as a relaxation agent without sedation, including evening use. PubMed 25759004
Zinc Bisglycinate — 10mg
Chelated for absorption. The quiet fourth ingredient — a supporting role, dosed conservatively.
| Doses used in sleep-related research | ~11mg (combination studies) |
| In Night Reset | 10mg — deliberately under the 40mg daily upper limit |
- Cherasse & Urade, 2017 — review of zinc's role in sleep regulation. PubMed 29113075
- Rondanelli et al., 2011 — the combination trial above included 11.25mg zinc. PubMed 21226679
Why only 10mg: zinc accumulates. Long-term high doses can interfere with copper absorption — so we dose zinc as a support ingredient, not a headline. Details in the FAQ.
What's deliberately not in the formula
No melatonin — it's a timing hormone, not a wind-down tool, and typical gummy doses are 10–30x the body's own nightly output. No proprietary blends — every dose above is on the label. No magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, no titanium dioxide. Why blends hide doses.
