Sleep & Recovery
Sleep is when your body heals, builds, and resets
What is Sleep & Recovery?
Sleep is the single most powerful recovery tool — yet 40% of Indians report poor sleep quality. During deep sleep, growth hormone peaks (muscle repair), the glymphatic system clears brain waste (preventing dementia), and insulin sensitivity resets. Poor sleep directly causes insulin resistance, elevated cortisol, increased appetite, and impaired immune function. Optimizing sleep architecture is foundational to metabolic health.
Common Symptoms

- →Blue light exposure before bed
- →Irregular sleep schedule
- →Magnesium deficiency
- →Cortisol dysregulation
- →Sleep apnea (often undiagnosed)

Natural Ingredients That Help
Evidence-based natural interventions supported by clinical research
Magnesium Glycinate
Activates GABA receptors for calm. Improves sleep quality scores significantly. 300-400mg before bed
L-Theanine
Promotes alpha waves without sedation. Reduces sleep latency and improves sleep quality. 200-400mg
Glycine
Lowers core body temperature (triggers sleep). 3g before bed improves deep sleep and next-day alertness
Tart Cherry Extract
Natural source of melatonin + anti-inflammatory anthocyanins. Increases sleep time by 84 minutes in studies
Ashwagandha
Reduces sleep latency and improves sleep quality through cortisol reduction and GABAergic activity
