Hydration
Sodium Chloride (100mg)
Sodium plays a pivotal role in hydration. It increases fluid absorption, fluid retention, maintains electrolyte balance and stimulates thirst, thus increasing fluid intake. Research shows that drinks containing sodium can improve endurance, mood, and reaction times, whilst reducing the risk of cramps and hyponatremia.
Learn morePotassium Chloride (100mg)
Potassium works closely with sodium to maintain normal cellular fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. Potassium chloride specifically may counteract the effects of too much sodium, maintaining a healthy electrolyte balance.
Learn moreMagnesium Citrate (50mg)
Magnesium has a systemic calming effect on the central nervous system, regulating various enzymatic reactions and neurotransmitters that aid relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and remain in a deep restorative sleep. It also acts as a modulator for GABA receptors, increasing their activity. GABA is a neurotransmitter which encourages more restful sleep for better physical and cognitive recovery.

L-Tryptophan (1000mg)
L-Tryptophan assists serotonin production, a neurotransmitter known for its positive effects on mood regulation and sleep. Serotonin is converted into melatonin, which regulates the body’s natural sleep-wake cycles. Research shows that a single dose of L-tryptophan pre-sleep can increase subjective lethargy, reduce time taken to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.
Learn moreL-Glycine (1000mg)
L-Glycine may trigger a drop in core body temperature, a necessary step to promote deeper sleep stages and REM sleep, which are instrumental for physical and cognitive recovery. It’s been shown to reduce the time taken to enter deep sleep, improve sleep quality, reduce subjective daytime sleepiness and improve cognitive function the following day.
Learn moreL-Theanine (200mg)
L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, researched for its ability to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality without causing drowsiness. By modulating neurotransmitter activity and reducing stress responses, L-Theanine has been proven to increase sleep efficiency and reduce sleep latency.
Learn moreAshwagandha (100mg)
Ashwagandha has been proven to modulate the body’s stress response, which reduces cortisol levels and supports the natural diurnal rhythm of this stress hormone. Studies show that ashwagandha may not only induce sleep more quickly, but also improve restorative sleep quality, with a reduction in subjective sleep scores following supplementation.
Learn moreValerian Root Extract 10:1 (75mg)
Supplementation with Valerian Root Extract has been shown to improve sleep quality, latency, and efficiency as well as total sleep time. Studies also observe decreased rates of anxiety and daytime sleepiness in addition to subjective measures of feeling refreshed following waking.
Learn moreVitamin B6 Pyridoxine (14MG)
Vitamin B6 is required in the body for the metabolism of amino acids which synthesise neurotransmitters involved in sleep pattern regulation. It’s been found to reduce neural excitation which contributes to effective cognitive recovery as you sleep.
Learn moreZinc Bisglycinate (2MG)
Zinc is mostly known for its role in neurotransmitter function, promoting better sleep. Zinc deficiency has also been correlated with low melatonin production, with zinc supplementation potentially increasing production of melatonin, the hormone which controls sleep cycles.
Learn moreWhen To Use Cadence™ Sleep Hydration
Our Sleep Hydration Formula has been specifically developed to aid nighttime hydration, sleep and recovery.
We recommend consuming one sachet 60 minutes before bed for maximum efficacy.
Consuming large volumes of fluid prior to sleep is not recommended. So we suggest mixing one sachet with 300-350ml / 12 oz of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What electrolytes does Cadence™ Sleep Hydration contain?
Cadence™ Sleep Hydration contains three key electrolytes: Sodium (as salt/sodium chloride), Potassium (as potassium chloride), and Marine Magnesium (as magnesium citrate), formulated to support fluid retention, thus reducing waking occurrences for urination and disturbed sleep.
How should I take Cadence™ Sleep Hydration Sachets?
We recommend that you add 1 sachet to 300-350ml/12OZ of water.
What is a neurotransmitter?
A neurotransmitter is a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a synapse from one neuron (nerve cell) to another, facilitating communication between neurons. This transmission is required for various neurological functions, such as muscle contraction, emotional responses, and cognitive processes such as memory and learning.
Why should I care about sleep and stress?
High quality sleep and stress reduction is imperative for maintaining general health. Sleep quality and duration has been found to impact numerous objective factors such as body composition, exercise performance, injury, illness, muscular recovery, learning & memory, as well as general mental wellness.

Can I use sleep with other Cadence™ products?
Yes, our sleep formula has been designed to be used in conjunction with our other products. We recommend that you use Cadence™ Energy Hydration Sachets in the morning or before training, Core Hydration or our Electrolyte Drink throughout the day, and Cadence™ Sleep Hydration in the evening.
Why is hydration with Cadence™ Sleep Hydration better than drinking plain water?
Hydration with the Cadence™ Sleep Hydration Sachets is more effective because it not only provides the water your body needs (when consumed with water) but also the essential electrolytes in a science-backed ratio to help maintain normal cellular water distribution, muscle contractions, and nerve signalling, unlike plain water that only addresses fluid intake without replenishing lost electrolytes.
Are Cadence™ Sleep Hydration Sachets suitable for those on a vegan diet?
Cadence™ Sleep Hydration are a vegan electrolyte formulation, making it suitable for those on a plant-based diet.
