Why did you formulate this with magnesium instead of melatonin? Which is better in a sleep aid?

The doctors behind our formula very intentionally chose magnesium over melatonin for a couple of reasons: For one, melatonin is not pregnancy- or breastfeeding-safe, and it was important to us to provide support for moms and moms-to-be who need it most. For another, since melatonin is the hormone our brain produces to induce sleepiness, taking more melatonin can directly impact our sleep-wake cycle—which can lead to grogginess and other undesirable side effects. Instead, studies suggest that magnesium acts as a precursor for our natural melatonin production, relaxing the body and setting the stage for better sleep. And our formula is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, too.

Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, the ingredient amounts in our Sleep Support* were specifically designed to be combined with any Perelel pack and to be taken safely throughout pregnancy and postpartum.

Are Perelel products 3rd Party Tested?

Yes, we complete third-party testing on all of our products to confirm purity and potency. All of our vitamins are made in FDA Registered and Inspected Facilities, which meet FDA 21 CFR 111 guidelines and are also cGMP Certified. All raw materials for our vitamins are tested directly prior to production to ensure their purity and quality. COAs are performed on every batch of manufactured vitamins to ensure final product integrity and quality, which includes testing for heavy metals, microbes, allergens and contaminates. We then complete third-party testing for heavy metals, microbes and potency to confirm our products are safe under USP standards. In addition, our pre and postnatal formulas have earned us certification from the Clean Label Project, a leading nonprofit that sets one of the industry's highest standards for consumer transparency. We’re proud to have earned Clean Label Project’s highest honor, the Purity Award!If you're interested in learning more, check out our blog post here on heavy metals.

What does Sleep Support* taste like?

Our Sleep Support* powder has a soothing citrus flavor profile—perfect for winding down.

What can I mix Sleep Support Powder into?

We formulated Sleep Support* to be mixed with warm water, but cold water can be used as well. You can also add this powder to any liquid such as juice or a smoothie. Enjoy!

Will this make me drowsy in the morning?

Our doctors formulated Sleep Support with a research-backed Magnesium Blend, which promotes gentle relaxation and sleep. When taken the night before, it should not cause next-day drowsiness.

“Pregnant and postpartum patients often struggle with sleep and anxiety, but many over-the-counter products or herbal remedies may not be safe in pregnancy or during lactation. Sleep Support is perfect for a new mom or mom-to-be because a good night’s rest is key during pregnancy.”

Pinch of sea salt

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ultimate Bedtime Routine Unlocked
Sleep Support mixed in with Chamomile Tea has quickly become part of my nightly wind down routine. I typically have this about an hour after dinner as I don't like to drink too much before going to bed. It makes me feel relaxed and tastes so good (an added spritz of fresh lemon tastes great too). If you want to reach a zen state before going to bed I highly recommend!

Game changer
I’ve used so many different supplements to help support my sleep- this has changed the quality of my sleep immensely!! Especially during the luteal phase when I can’t seem to get enough of it, I’m actually waking up refreshed. Will definitely continue to buy!
