Good sleep starts with a solid nighttime routine. Most of us can't expect the mind to quiet the second we get in bed. Especially if we've had a long day, we need to start the wind-down process about an hour or two ahead of time.

There are many ways to get into the sleep zone: You can de-stress with breathwork, relax with a hot bath or shower, or journal to let go of lingering thoughts from the day. But if you need a little extra help, mindbodygreen's calm+ supplement, formulated with organic European hemp oil, ashwagandha root, and lavender oil, is a great option. Our co-founder and co-CEO Jason Wachob calls it a "sleep appetizer" because it can make any wind-down routine feel more relaxing.*

Here's the scoop on the calming supplement and how to incorporate it come bedtime.*

Why you want to kick off your nightly routine with calm+

calm+

While the supplement's star ingredient, USDA- and EU-certified organic full-spectrum hemp oil, isn't sedating at this intentionally moderate dose (20 mg CBD per gelcap), it does have a relaxing quality due to the way it helps the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) function optimally.*

But don't take it from us—reviewers say calm+ has a "palpable calming effect" that takes them "out of fight or flight and into calm."*

Capping off the night with sleep support+

sleep support+

After taking calm+ and getting his stress under control, Wachob likes to top off his nightly routine with another mbg supplement, our bestselling sleep support+. This is a product that's designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling rejuvenated.*

Especially when you're already in the right head space for bed, sleep support+ can set the stage for restorative rest thanks to its targeted combination of magnesium bisglycinate, jujube seed extract, and PharmaGABA®.*

Magnesium bisglycinate is a readily absorbed form of magnesium that's combined with the amino acid glycine to promote relaxation, while jujube is a calming fruit that's long been used for its sedative properties in traditional Chinese medicine, and PharmaGABA® is a neurotransmitter shown to help enhance natural sleep quality in clinical trials 1.*

Together, they pick up where calm+ leaves off and can help the body easily transition into deep, quality sleep.* We recommend taking it one to two hours before bed for best results, and it's safe to take nightly.

The takeaway

calm+, a calming supplement that fosters a positive mood and eases stress, and sleep support+, a sleep supplement that promotes restorative rest, can be a great one-two pairing for calmer nights and deeper sleep.* Together, they're an effective combination to add to your arsenal for those inevitable nights when it's 10 p.m. but your brain is still acting like it's noon.* Sweet dreams!

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, consult with your doctor before starting a supplement routine. It is always optimal to consult with a health care provider when considering what supplements are right for you.
