Onset Sleep Strips
Melatonin tells your body what time it is. It does nothing about a mind that will not stop. Onset does both — 1mg of melatonin plus four calming botanicals, in a strip that dissolves in seconds.

One strip, 20 minutes before bed. It dissolves on your tongue in seconds, so there is no capsule to swallow and nothing waiting on digestion. The melatonin dose is 1mg — the amount closest to what your body produces on its own.
The mechanism
Two problems. One strip.
Most sleep products only work on timing. They tell your body it is night. But if your body already knows it is night and your mind is still running through tomorrow, timing was never the issue.
Melatonin — 1mg
Signals your body clock that the day is over. At 1mg, not the 5 to 10mg found in most gummies.
Four botanicals
Valerian, chamomile, lavender and hibiscus. Traditional calming plants, for the part of you that will not switch off.
One works on the clock. The other works on the noise.
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.
The dose
Why 1mg, not 10mg
Walk down any sleep aisle and the melatonin gummies are 5mg or 10mg. Your body produces roughly 0.3mg a night.
Research on sleep onset consistently uses doses between 0.3mg and 1mg. Higher amounts do not help you fall asleep faster — they just stay in your system longer, which is where the morning fog comes from.
Onset is 1mg. Not because less is cheaper, but because it is the amount that actually matches how melatonin works.
Typical gummy
5–10mg
Five to thirty times what your body makes
Onset
1mg
Closest to your body's own nightly amount
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.

A traditional calming botanical used to ease the mind before bed.
Lavender
Aromatic and soothing, long used to support relaxation.

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.
