SHUT-I (Sleep Aid/Recovery)

SHUT-I

How does it work?

Sleep is a category that is very underestimated in terms of its benefits. The fact is most people would reach for a preworkout before a sleep aid as a supplement even if they have terrible sleep but have enough drive and energy for the gym. As kids, we would despise having to go to sleep or take a nap but as adults we look forward to it and dread when we sleep terribly for the day following.

Our goal with SHUT-I was to bring a unique twist to the sleep aid category with a reliable and consistent product that delivers time and time again. We didn’t want to give you a sedative that will make you pass out and wake up feeling groggy and slumped the following day. We want it to feel like the normal sleep process of becoming tired and falling asleep easier and staying asleep without the next morning grogginess.

Everybody will have a different experience with supplements but in terms of formula and the reviews we nailed what our vision was for this product while giving you a flavor that doesn’t make you want to gag and actually tastes good. Here is how the ingredients we went with work and the benefits you will receive from them!
