Need more Zzzs? If you’re one of the many people not getting enough of that good, sound sleep, Swanson Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid may be the answer you’re looking for. We feature a carefully crafted blend of magnesium, L-theanine and 5-HTP to calm your mind and body so you can get the restorative rest your body craves.
Sleep is a result of complex biological activity and involves several important neurotransmitters— chemicals that send signals for a particular activity in the brain—such as GABA and serotonin. Supporting these neurotransmitters can lead to improved sleep quality (how well you sleep) and quantity (how much sleep you get).
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is needed for hundreds of biological processes. It is growing in popularity as a stress soother thanks to its ability to promote relaxation both of your brain and your muscles. It may also help increase levels of GABA to calm an active mind so you can focus on drifting off to dreamland. Derived from tea leaves (Camelia sinensis), L-theanine is an amino acid that helps ease feelings of stress and anxiousness. 5-HTP is involved in the production of serotonin, an important player in the sleep-wake transition that is also integral to overall mental wellbeing.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle so it’s a popular ingredient for resetting a sleep cycle that has been disrupted by jet lag, shift work or other factors, but it may not be the right sleep supplement for you. Swanson Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid delivers 250 mg magnesium, 100 mg L-theanine and 50 mg 5-HTP per serving so you can settle in for slumber.

FAQ
- Why choose a melatonin-free sleep formula?
Melatonin-free sleep formulas are designed for individuals who prefer to support relaxation and a healthy bedtime routine without supplemental melatonin. These formulas typically combine botanicals, amino acids, and other nutrients that support a calm state of mind and healthy nervous system function, helping you unwind naturally before bedtime as part of a consistent sleep routine. - How do botanicals support relaxation before bedtime?
Many sleep-supporting botanicals contain naturally occurring bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and terpenes, that have been studied for their ability to support the body's natural relaxation pathways. Ingredients such as chamomile, lemon balm, passionflower, and valerian help promote a calm state of mind and support a healthy response to everyday stress, making it easier to prepare for sleep. - How do amino acids support a healthy sleep routine?
Certain amino acids help support relaxation and healthy nervous system function through their roles in normal neurotransmitter activity. Ingredients such as L-theanine promote relaxed alertness by supporting alpha brain wave activity, while GABA and glycine help support the body's natural calming processes. Together, these amino acids complement a healthy bedtime routine by promoting relaxation without relying on supplemental melatonin. - Is Swanson Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid suitable for special diets?
Swanson Melatonin-Free Sleep Aid is made with non-GMO ingredients and is formulated without gluten. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin capsule. This product is also not formulated without dairy, so individuals with dairy sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
