OUR FORMULATION APPROACH

Our team of formulators brings over three decades of experience, with a strong emphasis on the use of botanicals (medicinal plants). We sought to combine the best of traditional medicine with modern, fact-based research.

Hundreds of ingredients were explored, many with use dating back thousands of years. In tandem, we scoured the scientific literature for strong clinical evidence pointing to an ingredient's potential. 

The resulting formula features clinically validated doses of key ingredients to support both altitude acclimatization and sleep.

THE INGREDIENTS

Below is a brief overview of each ingredient and why it was included in the formula. For those interested in a deeper dive, check out our blog post with more details on each ingredient, its role in the formula, and research citations.

ALTISNOOZE INGREDIENTS FOR ACCLIMATION & OXYGENATION

• cordyceps mushrooms – an adaptogenic mushroom that helps the body deal with the stress of getting less oxygen at altitude, especially during strenuous activities.
• fulvic mineral powder – a mineral complex sourced from ancient plant matter. it contains trace minerals, electrolytes, and fulvic acid, which are helpful for cellular energy and recovery.
• trace mineral complex – electrolytes for hydration and neuromuscular function.
• dmg –  a naturally occurring derivative of the amino acid glycine that supports better utilization of oxygen at the cellular level. it’s found naturally in plant and animal cells and in many foods such as beans, cereal grains, brown rice, pumpkin seeds, and liver.
• b6 & b12 – essential vitamins for cell metabolism and nervous system function.

ALTISNOOZE INGREDIENTS FOR SLEEP

• holy basil – an adaptogen that reduces stress hormones, which can aid sleep. it has a long history of use in various eastern-medicine traditions.
• magnesium  – a mineral that’s a natural muscle relaxer. deficiency is fairly common and can impact sleep.
• pharma gaba – gaba is one of the brain’s main calming neurotransmitters. pharma gaba is made through a fermentation process that results in a more bioavailable form of gaba.
• lemon balm  – a calming herb with long-standing use in traditional medicine.
• zylaria complex – an extract from the mycelium portion of the xylaria nigripes mushroom, seed of cuscuta chinensis, and root of panax notoginseng. it improves time to fall asleep and time spent asleep.
• l-theanine  – a naturally occurring amino acid that promotes relaxation.
• 5htp – an amino acid that's a precursor to sleep
