The Story Behind REST

Settle the evening. A quieter close to the day.

REST is inspired by traditional evening preparations, refined with modern nutritional understanding. Each ingredient is chosen for its place in a calming formulation; botanicals, a functional mineral, and a light fruit base, brought together into a balanced blend.

Mineral Support: Magnesium (from Magnesium Gluconate)

Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function, normal muscle function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Botanical Layer: Chamomile Flower, Lemon Balm, Valerian Root, and Passionflower

Chamomile flower and lemon balm have long been used in traditional evening preparations¹². Valerian root and passionflower complete this layer — both botanicals with long histories of traditional use in the context of evening rest³⁴. In REST, valerian root is used at a measured, low level, consistent with its traditional use.

Fruit Base: Agave, Lemon, and Apple

Agave, lemon juice, and apple juice form the base of the formulation, a light, rounded sweetness that carries the botanical blend without heaviness.

Aromatic Finish: Tart Cherry

A tart cherry flavour completes the formulation with a soft, rounded finish, reinforcing the sensory shift from the day into the evening.

 

The Approach

REST is built on balance. Botanicals with a long history of traditional evening use, a functional mineral, and a light fruit base, brought together for a quieter close to the day.

This is rest, without resistance.
