Good Days, Start With Great Sleep.
Most sleep supplements treat the symptom (insomnia) without addressing the root cause - your dysregulated nervous system.
When your nervous system is stuck in "fight or flight" mode from chronic stress, racing thoughts, or hormonal shifts, no amount of melatonin will fix it. You need to calm the stress response, support GABA production, relax tense muscles, and restore your body's natural ability to rest.
You need nervous system support, not just a sleep aid.

How Vital REST Transforms Your Sleep (and Your Days)
Vital Rest™ isn't just another sleep supplement. It's a complete nervous system support formula that addresses the six factors impacting your sleep quality:
Stress Reduction
Ashwagandha reduces cortisol by up to 30%, helping your body transition from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest." When your stress hormone is regulated, your nervous system can finally unwind.
Nervous System Regulation
L-Theanine and L-Taurine support GABA production (your brain's primary calming neurotransmitter). This quiets racing thoughts and reduces neural excitability, creating the calm mental state you need for deep sleep.
Muscle Relaxation
Magnesium Glycinate (the most bioavailable form) relaxes tense muscles and activates GABA receptors in your brain. Physical tension melts away, allowing your body to truly rest.
Mental Calm
Chamomile and L-Theanine work synergistically to reduce anxiety and promote gentle relaxation without drowsiness. Your mind stops racing, and you ease into sleep naturally.
Adaptogenic Recovery
Ashwagandha modulates your HPA axis (stress response system), supporting your body's ability to recover from daily stressors and restore balance.
Delicious Ritual
Ceremonial cacao makes your nightly reset taste like pure indulgence. When your sleep support feels like self-care (not another chore), you actually take it, and consistency creates transformation.
The Science of Restorative Sleep
Ceremonial Grade Cacao
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Antioxidant protection, magnesium boost, and mood elevation.
Ceremonial cacao is one of nature's richest sources of magnesium. It contains theobromine (a gentle, long-lasting energy compound that paradoxically supports relaxation in evening doses) and anandamide (the "bliss molecule"). Ceremonial cacao promotes relaxation and sleep due to its high magnesium content, which calms the nervous system and relaxes muscles, and its tryptophan content, a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, which regulate mood and the sleep-wake cycle.
Ashwagandha
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Reduced cortisol and deep nervous system calm.
Ashwagandha is one of the most studied adaptogens for stress reduction and sleep quality. Clinical research shows it reduces cortisol levels by up to 30%, helping your body transition from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest." Studies demonstrate that 300-600mg daily significantly improves sleep quality, reduces time to fall asleep, and enhances overall sleep efficiency. It works by modulating the HPA axis (your stress response system), allowing your nervous system to truly unwind.
Magnesium Glycinate
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Muscle relaxation, nervous system regulation, and deeper sleep cycles.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in your body, including those that regulate your nervous system and sleep-wake cycles. Glycinate is the most bioavailable and gentle form, meaning your body absorbs and utilises it efficiently without digestive discomfort. Magnesium activates GABA receptors in your brain, the neurotransmitter responsible for calming neural activity. Studies show that magnesium supplementation improves sleep quality, reduces nighttime awakenings, and supports healthy sleep duration. It also relaxes muscles, easing physical tension that can interfere with rest.
Chamomile
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Gentle relaxation and reduced anxiety.
Chamomile has been used for centuries as a natural sleep aid and nervine. It contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to specific receptors in your brain that promote sleepiness and reduce anxiety. Clinical trials show that chamomile extract significantly improves sleep quality and reduces symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder. It's gentle, non-habit forming, and works synergistically with other calming compounds to ease you into restful sleep.
L-Theanine
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Calm focus and improved sleep quality without drowsiness.
L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves that promotes relaxation without sedation. It increases alpha brain wave activity, creating a state of "calm alertness" that helps quiet racing thoughts before bed. Research shows that 200mg of L-Theanine improves sleep quality, reduces sleep latency (time to fall asleep), and decreases nighttime disturbances. It also enhances GABA, serotonin, and dopamine levels, neurotransmitters essential for mood regulation and restful sleep.
L-Taurine
The Outcome:
The Outcome: Enhanced GABA production and nervous system balance.
L-Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in nervous system regulation. It supports GABA production, your brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes calm and reduces neural excitability. Studies show that taurine supplementation improves sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and supports cardiovascular health. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting your brain cells from oxidative stress that can interfere with restorative sleep.

First time trying and felt results first day, felt super chill and relaxed 😌
- GGGladys G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoA game changer to my sleep quality
Unfortunately for me my partner works night shifts on occasion which means for me I find myself awake whilst his at work and absent from the bed. I decided to give the rest blend a try and at first I was skeptical, but this has given me the best and uninterrupted sleep in three years of night shift. My worry for me has not changed so I can only put it down to the rest blend for having a good impact to my sleep quality.
- RSRebecca S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoRest vital blend
Absolutely love it. I drink it every night before bed and I have such a great night sleep.
Sometimes drink it if a morning and through the day too if I feel I need to ground myself
- AAnukshiVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBest evening chocolate that makes you feel relaxed!
I’m not one to usually leave a review but I felt like I need rave about it after had the rest blend last night. I’ve tried a few “evening hot chocolates” and the is by far the best regarding taste, smell, texture, creaminess and I actually felt relaxed. Felt very rested the next day and of course ready for my morning cacao. Regretting not buying the rise blend.
Cacao Collective1 year agoWow! We are so glad to hear you loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. :')

Excellent bed time drink that tastes great. Certainly beats plain old Camolie tea.
The Story Behind This Blend:
Vital Rest was born from my own burnout, but it's for so much more than exhausted mothers.
It's for the woman whose mind won't stop racing at bedtime. It's for the woman who's tired but wired, stressed but can't slow down.
It's for the woman who wakes up feeling like she never truly rested.
It's for the woman who deserves to feel calm, restored, and renewed, every single night.
This isn't just a sleep supplement. It's a ritual. A moment. A choice.
I wanted something that would:
✨ Relieve the stress and tension my nervous system was holding
✨ Restore my body's ability to truly rest and recover
✨ Reset my sleep patterns naturally, without dependency
✨ Feel like self-care, not another pill to swallow
So I formulated Vital Rest with everything my nervous system needed to unwind - Ashwagandha to reduce cortisol, Magnesium Glycinate for deep muscle relaxation, Chamomile and L-theanine to calm racing thoughts, L-taurine to support GABA production, and ceremonial cacao for all it's feel-good compounds ... and because rest should taste as good as it feels.
You deserve more than band-aid solutions. You deserve a product that works, one that supports your nervous system, nourishes your body, and gives you permission to truly rest every single night.
With love and rest,

Will it help with anxiety?
While we can't make medical claims, the combination of ashwagandha (clinically proven to reduce cortisol), L-theanine (supports calm without drowsiness), and magnesium (regulates nervous system) has been shown in studies to support stress resilience and reduce anxious thoughts.
Is Vital Rest safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
While all our ingredients are natural and whole-food based, we do not recommend consuming whilst pregnant. Whilst consuming whilst breastfeeding is typically considered safe, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during breastfeeding.
What does it taste like?
Vital Rest has a light, slightly earthy chocolatey flavour. It's best when added to and mixed in with your hot ceremonial cacao.
Will I feel groggy in the morning?
No. Unlike pharmaceutical sleep aids or melatonin, Rest works with your body's natural sleep cycles. You'll wake up feeling refreshed and restored, not foggy or dependent.
Can I take it every night?
Yes! Rest is non-habit forming and designed for daily use. The adaptogens and amino acids support your body's natural rhythms without creating dependency.
Will the cacao keep me awake?
No. Ceremonial cacao contains minimal caffeine (about 1/10th of coffee) and is rich in magnesium and calming compounds. When combined with rest blend and our sleep-supporting ingredients, it actually enhances relaxation and makes the ritual delicious.
