The switch
Two ways to end the day
The old way
- Swallowing horse-pill capsules with water
- Waiting on digestion before anything happens
- Waking up foggy and hitting snooze
- Bottles too bulky to travel with
The Onset way
- A strip that melts on your tongue in seconds
- Fast absorption without the wait
- Formulated to clear by morning
- Slip a pack in your pocket, anywhere
How it works
Four steps to a better morning
Place one strip on your tongue
20 minutes before bed. No water, no capsules, nothing to swallow.
It dissolves in seconds
Botanicals absorb quickly instead of waiting on slow digestion.
Drift off, stay under
A calm wind-down that supports the deep stages of the night.
Wake up clear
Formulated to leave your system by morning — no morning fog.
What's inside
Four botanicals, one pathway
Valerian, chamomile, lavender and hibiscus have been used for calm for centuries. They work on the same calming pathway in the brain — which is the pathway melatonin does not touch.
Melatonin — 1mg
The active ingredient, at 1mg. Most gummies contain 5 to 10mg.
Valerian root
A traditional calming botanical used to ease the mind before bed.
Lavender
Aromatic and soothing, long used to support relaxation.
Chamomile
A gentle classic for winding down at the end of the day.
Hibiscus extract
Plant-derived support for a smoother, calmer night.

Questions
Good to know
When should I take it?
Place one strip on your tongue about 20 minutes before bed and let it dissolve.
Will I feel groggy in the morning?
The formula is designed to support sleep overnight and clear by morning, so you wake up feeling like yourself.
How long until it works?
Because it dissolves on your tongue rather than going through digestion, most people find it works from the first night. It is not a sedative, so it will not knock you out — it supports a calmer wind-down. Give it three or four nights to know whether it suits you.
Is it safe to take every night?
It is formulated for nightly use. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, speak with your doctor first.
What is your guarantee?
30-night money-back guarantee on 2 and 3 packs. If it is not for you, contact us.
Why only 1mg of melatonin?
Your body produces around 0.3mg a night. Research on sleep onset uses 0.3mg to 1mg. Higher doses do not work faster — they linger, which is what causes morning grogginess. 1mg is the amount that matches how melatonin actually works.
I've tried melatonin before and it didn't work for me.
That is the most common thing we hear. Two likely reasons. First, the dose — most products are 5 to 10mg, which is far above what your body produces, and higher doses do not help you fall asleep faster. Second, melatonin only addresses timing. If your problem is a mind that will not stop rather than a body that does not know it is bedtime, melatonin alone was never going to fix it.
Will it help if I wake up in the middle of the night?
Onset is designed to support the wind-down at the start of the night. It is not a sedative and it will not keep you unconscious. Many people find that a calmer start to the night makes the rest of it easier, but we would rather set that expectation honestly than promise something we cannot.
What do the botanicals do?
Melatonin is the active ingredient. Valerian, lavender, chamomile and hibiscus are traditional calming botanicals included to support the wind-down. We would rather tell you that plainly than imply they are doing more than they are.
