Turning One Capsule Before Bed into One Patch
Taking a capsule before bed can be one of the more difficult parts of maintaining a daily routine. It may feel heavy on the stomach, require a glass of water, or simply be easy to forget.
Dream It is designed around a simpler action: apply one patch to the shoulder or inner arm before bed. The transdermal format is designed to deliver its ingredients gradually over a 6–8-hour period.
Clinical research on transdermal melatonin patches has reported increases in blood melatonin levels and significant reductions in WASO (Wake After Sleep Onset). Dream It builds on this format by combining multiple ingredients in a single patch.
Five Ingredients, Paired in One Patch
Inositol
Inositol is a compound associated with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) signaling. Research has explored its role in relaxation and sleep onset, making it a natural fit for nighttime use.
L-Theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea and is associated with alpha-wave activity, which is linked to a relaxed state. Combined with inositol, it forms part of a broader relaxation-focused approach rather than relying on a single ingredient.
Magnesium + Zinc
Magnesium is a mineral involved in muscle relaxation and circadian-related processes, while zinc is involved in neurotransmission. For users who experience gastrointestinal discomfort when taking magnesium orally, a transdermal format offers a different route of use.
B Vitamins
B vitamins are involved in processes related to the methionine cycle and neurotransmitter function, supporting the body's processes associated with the following day's activity. Bringing five ingredients together in one patch creates a different formulation approach from a single-ingredient product.
The Distribution of 6–8 Hours Overnight
Oral melatonin typically follows a relatively short absorption pattern, with levels rising and then declining. A transdermal patch is designed to provide a more gradual delivery of its ingredients over approximately 6–8 hours, including the early-morning period when nighttime awakenings may occur.
The reported changes in WASO are considered in the context of this difference in delivery pattern.
There are also important considerations. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, consultation with a healthcare professional should take priority. Users diagnosed with depression or bipolar disorder should consult a healthcare professional before use. Those taking anticoagulants should determine appropriate use with a healthcare professional. To reduce the likelihood of skin irritation, the application site should be rotated between sides and locations.
Who Is It For?
Adults in their 20s to 50s who have difficulty falling asleep or experience frequent nighttime awakenings (WASO)
People who find it difficult to take capsules before bed
Users looking for a consistent overnight delivery format
Who Should Take Extra Care?
During pregnancy or breastfeeding, use after consultation with a healthcare professional
People with depression or bipolar disorder, after consultation with a healthcare professional
People taking anticoagulants, after consultation with a healthcare professional
People with active skin conditions at the intended patch application site, after consultation with a healthcare professional
