Yes, Nightcap is suitable to take alongside anti-depressant medication. Research confirms the close relationship between insomnia and depression so those who are taking anti-depressant medication may need support getting a restful, restorative night’s sleep. Many sleep supporting products contain 5-HTP which is contraindicated (unable to be taken) with anti-depressants. As Nightcap is free of 5-HTP, it is safe to take alongside this type of medication.
Yes! Children from 12 years and above can safely take Nightcap. Children 12-15 years take 3mls and children 16 years and above take 5mls 1 hour before bed, or as otherwise prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Alcohol will not interfere with the herbs in Nightcap however it is important to note how any amount alcohol before bed affects sleep. Perhaps the most misunderstood “sleep aid”, alcohol falls into a class of drugs called sedatives and sedation is not the same as sleep. Despite popular belief, alcohol before bed doesn’t help you fall asleep faster, it is simply knocking out your cortex in the brain and sedating you more quickly so you lose consciousness, but you don’t go into naturalistic sleep. Alcohol also litters your “sleep” with many more awakenings throughout the night causing you to wake up more frequently and preventing you from a consolidated, continuous bout of sleep throughout the night. And finally, alcohol is very good at blocking your dream sleep or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep which is essential for a number of different reasons including memory consolidation, mood and learning. In terms of a sleep aid, alcohol is anything but, however thankfully we’ve got just the Nightcap that is.
This will be very dependent on the individual and factors such as your own absorption abilities, stress levels, adrenal health and the degree of sleep issues.
Generally you can expect to have a noticeable relaxation effect within 1-2 hours after taking the recommended bedtime dose. If you do not notice an improvement within the first night, we recommend continuing to take Nightcap nightly, as with all herbs, the product is designed to build efficacy over time. The dose that works best for each individual may vary.
Yes! Many similar sleep supporting products use alcohol as part of their extraction process which isn’t suitable for everyone. We chose to formula Nightcap in a way that ensures maximum efficacy without the use of alcohol.
Nightcap is not recommended during pregnancy and we recommend checking with your doctor, midwife or healthcare professional before consumption, as with any new supplementation while breastfeeding.
Yes, Nightcap is vegan friendly making it suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.
We worked hard, across multiple iterations to create a herbal sleep support product that is palatable without compromising on potency. Nightcap contains no added flavouring and is sweetened with thaumatin, a natural fruit-derived sweetener. You can taste the undertones of Tart Cherry that is perfectly balanced with a pleasant sweetness with no overwhelming bitterness. Easy to take on its own straight from a spoon. Taste is always subjective however and some of our customers prefer to have Nightcap chilled or diluted with a little water.
