When the temperature drops below 79 degrees here in Mind Trip, it’s hot cocoa weather. While it is quite tasty, it’s not always the most nutritious and can be loaded with added sugar. Getting around that at home can require you to make it from scratch or opt for a store-bought option like the Ryze Hot Chocolate.

Glycine: 1,000mg (1 gram)

Glycine is an amino acid that plays a key role in the body’s central nervous system. It may help in improving sleep because of its ability to lower core body temperature and enhance feelings of tranquility, which can make it easier to fall and stay asleep.

Most studies find that taking 3-5 grams of glycine before bedtime can improve sleep quality and reduce daytime sleepiness and fatigue, especially in people experiencing sleeping difficulties.

Ryze does have glycine, but not quite the amount that most research shows for good sleep. However, it does have other sleep-promoting ingredients that may help with better overall sleep quality.

Reishi Extract: 300mg

Reishi is a medicinal mushroom known for its calming properties. It’s been studied to improve sleep due to the potential ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Much of the research on Reishi and sleep has been conducted on rats, and the results are promising but inconclusive for humans.
