cGMPs are the FDA’s manufacturing rules for dietary supplements (21 CFR Part 111). They are the minimum every brand has to meet, not what sets us apart. What we add on top: no lot ships until an independent lab has tested it.

Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients. Every ingredient is named on the label.

600 mg KSM-66® ashwagandha, 200 mg L‑theanine, 28 mg affron® saffron — the daily amounts used in published studies (sources at protocolday.com/jar). Other ingredients, all on the label: hypromellose (vegetable capsule), rice flour, rice hull concentrate. Supplement Facts →

60 nights to decide — keep what's left

One guarantee, one ask — take it nightly, then decide. One bottle, or your first two subscription bottles: the 60‑Night Guarantee. A bottle is thirty nights; the guarantee runs sixty nights from the day your first bottle arrives.

If your nights didn't change, email hello@protocolday.com any time in those sixty nights and we refund those bottles in full. If it doesn't agree with you physically, stop taking it and email us the same day — no need to wait out the sixty nights.

Keep whatever's left — we don't want opened supplements back. On a subscription, that same email cancels future billing too. Bottle three is billed 60 days after you subscribe — a few nights before the window closes — and isn't covered, so if you're out, cancel or email us before then. Once per customer, and we mean it — this is a guarantee, not a free‑trial loop.

How to take it (and what if I mess up)

2 capsules with water, about 1 hour before bed. Food doesn't matter. Tie it to something you already do every night and stop thinking about it.

Missed a night? Skip it. Take your normal two tonight. Don't double up — four at once does nothing extra; the trials looked at most nights over weeks, not a perfect streak.

Fewer than two? You can, but one capsule is half of every ingredient, not a “light version.” More than two? No — the research doses are already in the two. If two isn't doing it, more capsules aren't the answer. Email us instead.

Alcohol works against you — not against the capsules, against your night. Dry nights give you cleaner data on whether this is for you.

Each ingredient has its own trials; the formula as a whole has not been tested in its own trial.

Who this isn't for
  • You already sleep fine Eight hours, wake up clear? Keep your money. Genuinely.
  • You snore, or someone says you stop breathing Loud snoring, waking up gasping, a partner who's noticed pauses: see a doctor first. That's not what a capsule is for, including this one.
  • Pregnant, nursing, under 18, liver disease or immunosuppressants Do not use if pregnant or nursing, under 18, if you have liver disease, or if you take immunosuppressants. Stop and see a doctor if your skin or eyes turn yellow.
  • On medication — especially sedatives or sleep medication, antidepressants, thyroid or blood-pressure drugs Ask your doctor first, and don't stop anything you've been prescribed. On blood-pressure or diabetes medication? Ashwagandha can add to what those medicines do — that's the first thing to ask your doctor about. Print the safety page for your doctor →

Why I built this

I wasn't looking to start a supplement company.

I was looking for a bottle that didn't exist. So this is that bottle.

  • I was burning it at both ends — late nights, phone in bed, the sleep fell apart first.

  • Nothing I could find on the shelf matched what the studies used. So I stopped buying and started counting — label by label, in the NIH’s public database.

  • Label count after label count in the NIH’s public database, I knew what most labels leave out. So I built the opposite — and printed every milligram.

FAQ

Questions, straight answers

When will I feel it?

Honest answer: not the first night like a sleeping pill. Go by the trials behind the actives, not by us: L‑theanine 200 mg was measured at four weeks (PMID 31623400), affron 28 mg a day at 28 days (PMID 34438361), and KSM‑66 600 mg a day over 60 days — that trial measured stress, not sleep, in adults under chronic stress (PMID 23439798). Judge it over weeks, not nights. Individual results vary — that's why the guarantee runs 60 nights from the day your first bottle arrives.

How do I cancel my subscription?

From your account — log in with the link in your order confirmation email — or with one email to hello@protocolday.com and we'll do it for you. Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. No calls, no fees, no hoops.

I've read that KSM-66 is for stress, not sleep — and Sensoril is the one for sleep. True?

Partly. The claim we make for KSM‑66 is about stress: it supports a calmer stress response.† That rests on a 60-day trial in adults under chronic stress, at 600 mg a day given as 300 mg twice a day (PMID 23439798); Small Hours puts the 600 mg in one evening serving. KSM‑66 has also been studied in a sleep trial, but it enrolled patients with a clinical sleep complaint, so we don't rest a sleep claim on it — who took part is on the evidence page. Our sleep claim — Small Hours supports restful sleep.† — rests on the saffron and L‑theanine trials. We haven't compared KSM‑66 with Sensoril.

Why only three ingredients?

Because we counted what happens to long lists. In the sleep formulas we read with 16+ ingredients, 65% of doses are hidden in blends. Across 365 stated doses of four common sleep ingredients, only 27% reach the dose a trial used. A twenty-ingredient formula tells you about seven doses and thirteen names. At the doses the research used, twenty ingredients don't fit in two capsules. Three do.

Should I cycle it?

You can. The trials didn't: each active was given daily without a break — L‑theanine for four weeks (PMID 31623400), affron for 28 days (PMID 34438361), KSM‑66 for 60 days (PMID 23439798). None of these three tested cycling, and none ran longer than 60 days. If you subscribe and want a break, cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date and subscribe again when you're ready — no fees, no hoops.
