The difference
Most sleep aids are built for the first hour. Wind Down is built for the whole night.*
You fall asleep fine. It's staying asleep that breaks.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Will it make me groggy?
No. There's nothing sedating in it. It supports the steps your body already takes, so there's nothing to wear off at 8 a.m.*
Why saffron instead of melatonin?
Melatonin pills add the hormone itself, at doses that can drift far from the label. Saffron is studied for supporting the melatonin your body makes in the evening, so there's nothing to add and nothing to wear off by morning.*
When will I feel something?
Many people notice a calmer wind-down early on. Saffron builds over weeks: the studies ran 4 to 12 weeks, so give it a month before you judge.*
Can I take it with my medication?
If you take medication, or are pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor first. Every ingredient and dose is on the label, so it's easy for them to check.
