If you don’t like something of ours, guess what happens next?

Why International Bestselling Author Mike Matthews Created Lunar

Lunar is a 100% natural sleep supplement that helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested.

The negative effects of impaired sleep can be far worse than many people think.

Specifically, sleep insufficiency has been linked to auto crashes, industrial disasters, and medical and other occupational errors.

It reduces quality of life and productivity and increases mortality and the risk of chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity, and cancer.

It can even slow weight loss, promote weight gain and muscle loss, and create hormonal imbalances.

The bottom line is your sleep hygiene is like your diet—it’s either working for or against you, enhancing or injuring just about every aspect of your life.

That’s why it pays to be a stickler about sleep, including how your lifestyle is influencing your sleep.

Supplementation can help as well, and that’s why we created Lunar.

The reason it’s so effective is simple:

Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.

Lunar is also naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes or other chemical junk.

So, if you want to fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night, and feel more refreshed in the morning . . . you want to try Lunar today.

You won’t be disappointed.

In fact, if you don’t absolutely love Lunar, just let us know and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No form or return necessary.

You really can’t lose, so order now, and try Lunar risk-free and see if it’s for you.

Ingredients (3.7 grams per serving)

Glycine (3 grams per serving)

Glycine is an amino acid found mainly in foods that contain gelatin, like meat and seafood.

It acts as a mild sedative, which is why research shows that supplementation with glycine before bed reduces the time it takes to fall asleep and improves sleep quality.[1][2]

Additionally—and scientists aren’t sure why yet—but studies also show that glycine improves cognitive performance and reduces feelings of fatigue when sleep is impaired.[3]

The clinically effective dose of glycine is 3 grams.

Raw salmon

Melatonin (500 micrograms per serving)

Melatonin is a hormone that’s produced by the brain and found in foods like tomatoes, walnuts, strawberries, and olive oil.

It has powerful sedative and sleep-inducing effects, which is why research shows that supplementation with melatonin before bed . . .

  • Reduces the time it takes to fall asleep[4]
  • Can improve sleep quality for those with insomnia[5][6]
  • Reduces symptoms of jet lag[7]
  • Can improve memory function[8]

The clinically effective dose of melatonin is between 500 micrograms and 5 milligrams.

Lunar contains 500 micrograms per serving because it’s a low but effective dose that works for most people. That said, some people need more melatonin to achieve the desired results, and in that case, we recommend 3 milligrams of slow-release melatonin in addition to one serving of Lunar for optimal results.[9]

Melatonin

Lemon Balm (600 milligrams per serving)

Lemon balm (also known as Melissa officinalis) is an herb that has been used since ancient times to relieve anxiety and agitation and promote sleep.

It enhances the effectiveness of a sedating chemical produced by the brain known as gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA).

That’s why research shows that supplementation with lemon balm . . .

  • Improves sleep quality[10]
  • Reduces feelings of anxiety and stress and induces feelings of calmness[11][12]
  • Improves memory[13]
  • Reduces symptoms of anxiety-related insomnia[14]

The clinically effective dose of lemon balm is between 300 and 1,200 milligrams.

Lemon balm

RC-NOS® Rutaecarpine (100 milligrams per serving)

Rutaecarpine is a molecule found in the fruit of the Evodia rutaecarpa plant, which has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to raise body temperature and reduce pain and gastrointestinal distress.

It enhances the activity of enzymes known as CYP1A1/2, and this increases the body’s ability to eliminate various substances from the body, including caffeine, some toxins, and other molecules.[15][16][17][18]

By eliminating caffeine from the body faster, rutaecarpine can help improve sleep in people who have caffeine before late-day workouts.

For instance, studies show that 400 milligrams of caffeine—a little more than the amount found in one serving of most pre-workout supplements—taken up to six hours before going to bed can reduce total sleep by more than one hour.[19]

Rutaecarpine can help mitigate this effect, allowing for both pre-workout caffeine consumption and more restful sleep.

The clinically effective dose of rutaecarpine hasn’t been established yet, but 100 milligrams is known to be effective.

Rutaecarpine

100% Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

No Artificial Food Dyes or Other Chemical Junk

100% Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.[20][21][22][23][24][25]

That’s why we use the natural sweeteners stevia and erythritol instead. Studies show that these ingredients are not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better insulin sensitivity, a lower cholesterol profile, improved blood glucose control, potential anti-cancer effects, lower blood pressure and inflammation levels, and more.[26][27][28][29]

No Artificial Food Dyes or Other Chemical Junk

As with artificial sweeteners, studies show that artificial food dyes may cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[30][31][32][33][34]

That’s why we use natural coloring derived from fruits and other foods, as well as natural flavoring.
