Refix Sleep Science

Why You're Still Tired
After 8 Hours of Sleep

The answer may lie in a mineral deficiency affecting over half the population — and a formula designed to fix it from the inside out.

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the human body — involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions. Yet research suggests up to 68% of adults aren't getting enough. The consequences for sleep are profound.

If you find yourself lying awake despite exhaustion, waking at 3am with a racing mind, or dragging yourself through the day — magnesium deficiency could be a major contributing factor. And the good news? It's fixable.

What Does Magnesium Actually Do for Sleep?

Magnesium activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the "rest and digest" branch — helping your body physically calm down after the demands of the day. It also regulates GABA receptors, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that quiets brain activity and promotes relaxation.

Research has shown that adequate magnesium levels are associated with deeper, more restorative sleep — particularly slow-wave sleep, the stage during which the body undergoes its most significant repair and regeneration. Magnesium also helps regulate cortisol, the stress hormone most responsible for keeping us wired when we should be winding down.

Why Most Magnesium Supplements Fail

Cheap magnesium oxide — found in most budget supplements — has bioavailability as low as 4%. It passes through largely unused, offering little real benefit. Refix combines two of the most bioavailable forms available: Magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Citrate, alongside a carefully curated stack of clinically studied sleep-supporting ingredients.

Magnesium doesn't just help you fall asleep — it fundamentally changes the quality of the sleep you get, supporting deeper, more restorative stages that leave you genuinely refreshed.

Sleep is More Than Just Closing Your Eyes

Quality sleep requires successfully cycling through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM — each performing critical functions like memory consolidation, cellular repair, immune regulation, and emotional processing. When we're deficient in key nutrients, this architecture breaks down. Refix targets the biological pathways that govern this architecture — addressing not just sleep onset, but sleep depth and continuity.

The Refix Sleep Formula

8 synergistic ingredients. One goal: the best sleep of your life.

⚗️
Magnesium Bisglycinate

A highly bioavailable chelated form bound to glycine. Absorbed far more efficiently than oxide forms, it supports GABA receptor activity to calm the nervous system and promote deep relaxation before sleep.

🌿
Magnesium Citrate

A well-absorbed organic magnesium salt that helps regulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Works synergistically with Bisglycinate for broader spectrum magnesium activity supporting both sleep onset and quality.

🧬
L-Glycine

An amino acid shown in studies to improve subjective sleep quality, reduce sleep latency, and lower core body temperature — a key biological signal that tells the brain it's time to sleep.

🍵
L-Theanine

Found naturally in green tea, L-Theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity — the calm, focused state associated with meditation. It reduces anxiety without causing drowsiness, creating the perfect mental environment for sleep.

🌱
Lemon Balm Extract 10:1

A 10x concentrated extract of Melissa officinalis. Research suggests it supports GABA activity and reduces stress markers, helping quiet an overactive mind at bedtime. Used traditionally for centuries to ease nervous tension.

🌼
Chamomile Extract 12:1

A 12x potency extract delivering a concentrated dose of apigenin — the compound responsible for chamomile's calming effects. Apigenin binds to GABA receptors in the brain, reducing anxiety and initiating sleep signals.

🦠
Bifidobacterium Longum

A clinically studied probiotic strain that operates via the gut-brain axis. Research indicates B. longum may reduce perceived stress and anxiety — two of the most common barriers to consistent, quality sleep.

🔬
Lactobacillus Reuteri

This probiotic strain has been studied for its role in producing serotonin precursors within the gut — directly influencing the body's ability to produce melatonin, the hormone that governs your sleep-wake cycle.

The Gut-Sleep Connection Nobody's Talking About

Approximately 95% of your body's serotonin is produced in the gut. Serotonin is the direct precursor to melatonin — the hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm. By including both Bifidobacterium Longum and Lactobacillus Reuteri, Refix addresses sleep not just from the top down (calming the brain) but from the bottom up — supporting the gut environment that makes healthy sleep hormone production possible.

This is what separates Refix from every generic sleep aid on the market. Rather than relying on a single mechanism, it addresses the multiple, interconnected systems that need to work together for truly restorative sleep.
