Zero Melatonin

Thirdzy does not include melatonin because it:

Only works on sleep timing and not directly on sleep quality or recovery
Often causes morning grogginess
Can lead to dependency
Could negatively affect other hormones and metabolism
Can cause unpleasant dreams

Thirdzy vs. Huberman

Our 1-scoop formula is almost identical, in the ingredients and their amounts, to the sleep stack recommended by renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman*

FULL HUBERMAN COMPARISON

One of the best forms of magnesium for crossing the blood-brain barrier, to promote relaxation and sleep. Supports your own normal melatonin levels.

Green tea extract that counteracts overstimulation, including from stimulants like caffeine, and can help reduce anxiousness.

Your brain's primary neurotransmitter for calm & relaxation. Responsible for your transition from being awake to sleeping.

Amino acid in collagen that improves sleep cycles, lowers overnight body temperature and reduces next day fatigue.

Antioxidant from chamomile that can have relaxing and sedative effects. BUT it can suppress estrogen levels in women.

The Research

Collagen

Recovery Molecules Included
Collagen is responsible for the structure and strength in skin, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Collagen that you supplement with has been shown to directly become part of new tissues in your body. Collagen supplementation can also speed workout recovery and reduce chance of injury.

Supports Healthy Sleep
Glycine is an amino acid that is found in high concentrations in collagen. It is a calming chemical for your brain, relaxes your muscles and reduces core body temperature helping you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. Studies show that when taken before bed it has been shown to decrease daytime fatigue.

Inflammation Fighter
Some inflammation after training is normal and signals your recovery processes. But when inflammation goes on unchecked it can cause pain, swelling, overuse injuries, and even reduced immune function. These risks are increased if you are sick or stressed, and during high training phases. Collagen supplementation has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and improve joint pain, mobility, and flexibility.

Magnesium

Essential Nutrient
Magnesium is an essential nutrient (i.e. you can't make it and need to consume it) and is involved in key processes in your body, including maintaining brain chemistry for relaxation and healthy sleep, stabilizing your moods, regulating your heart beat, bone and muscle formation and maintaining hydration.

Relaxation & Sleep Powerhouse
Supplementation with magnesium has been shown to result in a significant increase in total amount of sleep, less waking up in the night, and less time to fall asleep. It is also associated with better regulation of the sleep hormones melatonin and renin, increases in slow-wave sleep (deep sleep), a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol. and improved memory formation.

L-Theanine

Brain Calming Benefits
L-theanine is a well-researched amino acid that has calming effects on the brain, supports proper sleep architecture (brain chemistry and brain waves) and helps counteract the anxiety from stimulants, such as caffeine. Importantly, L-theanine has been shown to help with managing stress and anxiety promoting the same alpha waves that occur in the brain during meditation and REM sleep. Supplementation is also associated with decreased cortisol levels and increased levels of GABA, serotonin, and dopamine.

GABA

The Master Switch for Calm
GABA is short for Gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is a neurotransmitter (a messenger chemical in your brain and nerves) and it is our primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, counteracting stress, anxiety, and over stimulation.

The Sandman Supplement
Improved sleep quantity and quality, improved mood, lower stress response (lower cortisol, better heart rate variability), improved immune function, and an increase in alpha waves (signifying mental calmness) have all been observed in various studies with people using GABA supplements.

FAQ

Product Questions

WHY ZERO MELATONIN?

Melatonin is a hormone found in most traditional sleep supplements that helps with sleep timing. While melatonin can assist some with falling asleep, this hormone does not directly improve sleep quality or duration.

Possible downsides of melatonin include: morning grogginess, unpleasant dreaming, dependency, and impacts on other hormones.

Because of its benefits being limited to sleep timing and its many potential downsides, we will NEVER include melatonin in our formulation.

Dr. Andrew Huberman talks about this at length on his podcast if you want to get really into it. Check him out at Huberman Lab.

WHAT'S IN IT TO HELP ME SLEEP?

For a supplement to help with sleep it needs to do TWO key things.
1. Help you to relax and counteract over stimulation, and
2. Support your brain chemistry and hormones for Deep and REM sleep.

Thirdzy contains some of the best natural compounds to help do BOTH.

Collagen: The Relaxing Power of Glycine
Collagen is made of amino acids, most of them being the glycine. Glycine is known for its calming effects on the brain. It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which helps to reduce nerve activity and promote relaxation. In studies, glycine has been shown to help lower core body temperature, which is important for deep sleep and to reduce next day fatigue.

L-Theanine: Unwind and De-stress
L-Theanine is a naturally occurring compound found in green tea. It has been widely studied for its ability to counteract over-stimulation, promote relaxation, and reduce anxiety. L-Theanine increases alpha brain waves, which are associated with a state of relaxation, and REM sleep.

GABA: A Neurotransmitter for Tranquility
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in promoting relaxation and sleep. By inhibiting nerve activity in the brain, GABA helps to quiet the mind and prepare it for deep, uninterrupted sleep.

Magnesium: The Mineral for Relaxation
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It plays a significant role in muscle relaxation and the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle by supporting your natural production of melatonin.

HOW SHOULD I TAKE MY THIRDZY?

For best results, take it 30-60 minutes before bed. Experiment with the amount of water you dissolve it in. Using more water will mellow the flavor and it will dissolve more quickly.

Thirdzy was formulated to be used nightly. And our customers that use it very consistently see the greatest improvements to their sleep quality.

WHEN WILL I START TO FEEL IT WORKING?

Many people notice a difference from the very first night. The L-theanine and GABA have a gentle calming effect that starts to become noticeable within 20 to 40 minutes.

Most people find that with consistent, ongoing use, the quality of their rest and recovery continue to improve for many weeks. For people who are deficient in magnesium, there is a loading phase to reach ideal levels in the body.

Joint and muscle building benefits from collagen can become very noticeable after 4 to 12 weeks of use, but the anti-inflammatory effects of the collagen can provide noticeable improvements in soreness sooner.

Pretty surprised but in a very good way

I had rotator cuff tendon repair surgery on my shoulder 4 weeks ago. I had really big difficulties recovering the energy needed for the day despite no training. My sleep was terrible, around 3 or at most 4 hours per night, with Fitbit data completely different from what I was used to before the surgery.

For the past 5 nights, I have started taking Thirdzy an hour before going to bed, and all my parameters are returning to normal, and I am sleeping 7 hours per night. I don't know what to say. For me, this product is a lifesaver ❤️
I can share screenshots from my Fitbit 🥳🥳

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that Thirdzy help so much during a dificult time in everysense. Surgery can significantly disrupt sleep, and it's wonderful to know our supplement has helped you regain restful nights and the energy needed for the day. Your story is inspiring, and we'd love to see those Fitbit screenshots if you're willing to share! Wishing you a continued speedy recovery and many more restful nights ahead!

Facts and Data

Since using Thirdzy my sleep performance has improved by 29% according to the data from my Whoop. I feel great!

Awesome! That's exactly what we made PM Recovery Collagen to do! Keep on keepin' on!

Improved recovery and fewer nighttime pit stops

I was a little leery of switching from my capsules of Magnesium, Zinc and B6 to a pre-bedtime drink of 8-16 oz of water because I already get up once a night to pee. I was pleasantly surprised by both the immediate boost in recovery (Whoop) probably related to the disappearance of my need to make a trip to the bathroom. Weird, but good. We’ll see if the uninterrupted sleep persists, but so far, so good.

Thanks Terrence - We're so pleased to hear that you're getting better sleep to fuel your days. PM Recovery Collagen is PACKED with high-quality ingredients. This way you only need to buy one product and not juggle multiple things at once. We will be waiting for an update on how you feel :)

Game changer!!!

As an entrepreneur and bio hacker that’s always looking to get more out of all areas in my life, thirdzy delivers. I feel noticeably more rested and better energy with it.

I always felt like despite my great bedtime routines and habits, my sleep was never that good. I track my sleep with my fitbit and i always logged highs 70s, and now I get mid 80s, which is a HUGE difference and i feel great! I plan to be a lifelong customer and highly reccomend to everyone!
