A bedtime gummy designed to support relaxation and restful sleep. Magnesium glycinate is the preferred form here — it's gentle on the stomach and well-absorbed.

Ingredients

3/4 cup tart cherry juice (tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin)
3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin powder
1 teaspoon magnesium glycinate powder (about 200mg elemental magnesium — check your product's serving size)
1 tablespoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon lavender extract or 1 drop food-grade lavender essential oil

Method

Pour half the cherry juice into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface. Bloom for 5 minutes.
Warm gently over low heat until gelatin dissolves.
Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining cherry juice, magnesium powder, honey, vanilla, and lavender (if using).
Pour into silicone molds. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Pop from molds and store in the fridge.
*Suggested use:** 2-3 gummies 30 minutes before bedtime.

Notes

Tart cherry juice (Montmorency cherries) contains natural melatonin and anthocyanins. It's one of the few food sources of melatonin.
Magnesium glycinate is preferred over magnesium citrate for nighttime use — citrate can have a laxative effect at higher doses. Glycinate is gentle and calming.
These have a beautiful deep red color and a tart-sweet flavor that's genuinely enjoyable.
Don't exceed the recommended serving — magnesium in excess can cause digestive discomfort.
