🧘♀️ What Is Unwind?

Unwind is a plant-powered evening supplement designed to ease your nervous system into a restful, restorative state. It combines Reishi and Turkey Tail mushrooms, Ashwagandha, L-Theanine, magnesium, and soothing myrcene terpenes to calm your body and mind—so you can settle in, recover, and wake up feeling more like yourself.

Whether you're battling burnout or just want to feel more grounded, Unwind supports natural balance.

🌙 Why You Need an Evening Wind-Down Ritual

Most of us spend our days in a high-alert state: flooded with cortisol, blue light, and endless notifications. Without a true evening ritual, the nervous system never gets the message to slow down.

Unwind creates a clear signal to your body:
It’s time to relax, reset, and recover.

Adding Unwind to your evening routine may help support:

  • A calmer nervous system as you wind down
  • A more restful night's sleep
  • Healthy stress hormone levels
  • A more grounded, recovered feeling day to day

🔬 The Science Behind the Ingredients

🪵 Reishi Mushroom

Known as the "Mushroom of Immortality", Reishi has a long history of traditional use in support of the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous system. It's traditionally used to help support:

  • A sense of calm
  • A restful wind-down before sleep
  • Immune function during rest

🍄 Turkey Tail Mushroom

Rich in polysaccharides and prebiotics, Turkey Tail supports gut and immune health—both connected to how balanced you feel and how well you rest.

🌿 Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is a well-studied adaptogen traditionally used to help support healthy cortisol levels, everyday stress resistance, and a more restful night's sleep.

🍵 L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid associated with promoting calm without sedation, in part by supporting alpha brain wave activity. It's often paired with magnesium and functional mushrooms to help ease mental tension.

⚛️ Magnesium

This vital mineral plays a role in normal muscle relaxation and nervous system function, and is commonly used to help support restfulness and ease nighttime restlessness.

🌬️ Myrcene Terpenes

Plant-derived aromatic compounds traditionally associated with physical relaxation. Common terpenes in Unwind include:

  • Myrcene – traditionally associated with relaxation and easing muscle tension
  • Linalool – valued for its calming aroma
  • Caryophyllene – studied for its potential soothing properties

✅ Key Benefits of Unwind

  • May help calm the mind and body
