Body Kitchen Unwind Nightcap

What’s the number one health habit to improve energy, metabolism, immunity, and just about every complaint you may have: get better sleep. It sounds simple, but so many of us have a hard time winding down and achieving consistent, quality sleep. Magnesium can help. 

Magnesium is an important mineral that most of us aren’t getting enough of. It’s critical for activating the parasympathetic nervous system required for sleep, relaxation, stress management, and tension reduction.

This simple nightcap is designed with sleep support in mind. You’ll get dimagnesium malate and magnesium bisglycinate, both highly absorbable and bioavailable forms of magnesium from Body Kitchen’s Unwind powder. In addition, tart cherries, are a natural source of melatonin that help you to feel drowsy, and chamomile is a classic herb for relaxation and sleep. 

Make this nightcap your evening ritual!
