Certificate of analysis on request
A check means it is standard in that category, a cross means it is not, and Varies means it depends on the brand. Based on the labels and directions of widely sold US products as of August 2026: melatonin gummies, nighttime sleep aids with diphenhydramine, and magnesium powders and teas. Rest First has not been studied head to head against any of them. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Made for the whole night
Six ingredients, fully dosed, supporting the systems your body already runs from lights out to morning.
Supports body and mind relaxation*
A calm, relaxed state at night*
Supports restful sleep*
6 ingredients. One scoop.
Most supplements have one or two, we decided to create a powerful formula to work in a systematic way with your body.
Magnesium Citrate
Supports restful sleep and relaxation.* The mineral your body leans on to let the day go.
L-Theanine
Promotes relaxation.* An amino acid from tea leaves, for a mind that keeps talking after lights out.
GABA
Supports nervous system calm.* Your body's own brake pedal, the one a long day wears down.
Inositol
Supports cell signaling.* It keeps the messages between your cells running smooth while you wind down.
Zinc
Supports nerve and neurotransmitter signaling.* A small dose with a steady job: keeping your night chemistry in order.
5-HTP
Supports your natural sleep cycle.* The raw material your body turns into its own melatonin, so we never had to add any.
Why these ingredients, and why these doses.
Nothing is in here to round out a label. Each active earned its place from the research on short sleep and on the ingredient itself:
Why magnesium leads the formula †
51%
of short sleepers fall short on magnesium
314 mg
of Magnesium Citrate in every scoop
Why GABA goes in at a full dose ††
6 min
to fall asleep in the study, from 13
316 mg
of GABA in every scoop
Why L-Theanine rides along with it †††
4 weeks
of nightly use improved sleep quality in the study
105 mg
in every scoop; the study used 200 mg
† Ikonte CJ et al. Micronutrient inadequacy in short sleep: analysis of NHANES 2005-2016. Nutrients 2019;11(10):2335 (26,211 adults; 51% of short sleepers below the estimated requirement for magnesium, vs 43% of those sleeping seven hours or more). †† Byun JI et al. Journal of Clinical Neurology 2018;14(3):291-295 (GABA 300 mg, four weeks, n = 40). ††† Hidese S et al. Nutrients 2019;11(10):2362 (L-Theanine 200 mg daily, four weeks, healthy adults). These are studies of the individual ingredients, not of Rest First.

FAQs
Why no melatonin?
Melatonin adds an external signal to cue sleep. REST FIRST instead supports the three systems your body already runs on its own.* We think your body's own rhythm is worth supporting, not replacing.
How is REST FIRST different?
REST FIRST isn't a sleep aid. It's a nightly ritual that supports the three biological systems your body uses to transition from day to night.* Not sedation. Not force. Regulation.
When will I feel a difference?
The three biological systems REST FIRST supports respond to consistency, not single doses. It's designed for nightly use over weeks, not for the occasional restless night.*
Is REST FIRST safe for nightly use?
Yes, REST FIRST is formulated and intended for nightly use, and it's melatonin-free. As with any supplement and especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, talk to your physician first.
Can I take REST FIRST with other supplements?
REST FIRST brings together six ingredients across the three biological systems.* One of them, 5-HTP, can interact with SSRIs and other serotonergic medications, so if you take anything for sleep or mood, or any prescription medication, talk to your physician before adding REST FIRST.
Is REST FIRST third-party tested?
Batch 1 was tested for allergens by Advanced Laboratories, an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab: gluten under 5.0 ppm, soy and milk under 2.5 ppm. Certificates of analysis are available on request.
