Current

The items in my current stack, in the order I take them.

  1. Current

    Magnesium glycinate

    Magnesium glycinate is part of my current supplement list.

    Notes and context

    Magnesium glycinate is part of my current supplement list. Huberman Lab’s sleep toolkit mentions magnesium bisglycinate and threonate as optional sleep-supplement forms; this recorded item remains magnesium glycinate, not a claim that the forms are interchangeable.

    The toolkit also names Momentous and includes a discount link, so its supplement guidance carries product context. FoundMyFitness’ magnesium overview is additional context for why magnesium comes up in sleep and relaxation discussions.

    In a later personal supplement post, Huberman emphasizes independent third-party testing. That is a product-quality filter, not evidence that magnesium improves sleep for everyone.

  2. Current

    Creatine monohydrate

    Creatine monohydrate is part of my current supplement list.

    Notes and context

    Creatine monohydrate is part of my current supplement list. FoundMyFitness’ Darren Candow episode and BioLayne’s Tier 1 supplement discussion are useful context for why creatine is common in strength and muscle-performance conversations.

    Rhonda Patrick’s product-quality post favors creatine monohydrate and independent verification. Layne Norton separately notes that synthetic and food-derived creatine are chemically the same compound, so origin language alone is not evidence that one product works better.

  3. Current

    L-theanine

    L-theanine is part of my current supplement list.

    Notes and context

    L-theanine is part of my current supplement list. Huberman Lab’s sleep toolkit and FoundMyFitness’ sleep supplement discussion are context for why it comes up in sleep and relaxation conversations.

    The toolkit includes product and discount context, and individual response and the evidence base vary; neither source makes this a universal sleep solution.

    Huberman’s later personal supplement post says he drops L-theanine when it produces vivid dreams. That is an anecdotal response worth watching for, not a predictable effect or a dosing rule.

These saved products are not automatically part of my current stack.

Source notes

Sourced supplement context, separate from my personal stack.

  1. Source note

    Apigenin

    Huberman Lab presents apigenin as an optional sleep-stack item, with uncertain individual response and product context.

    Notes and context

    Huberman’s sleep toolkit includes apigenin as an optional sleep-stack item and suggests trying optional supplements one at a time, or none.

    The toolkit names Momentous and includes a discount link, making its product context explicit. Individual response and the evidence base remain limited, so the source is not a settled conclusion.

    In a later personal supplement post, Huberman notes that apigenin alone may suit some people. That supports trying fewer variables at once; it does not establish a universal effect.

  2. Source note

    Glycine

    Huberman Lab discusses glycine as an additional, optional sleep supplement rather than a foundation.

    Notes and context

    Huberman’s sleep toolkit includes glycine among additional, optional sleep supplements. It is presented after behavioral sleep tools, not as a foundation.

    Claims about changing sleep stages should be treated cautiously. The source does not make a nightly stage score a reliable way to judge an individual response.

  3. Source note

    Myo-inositol

    Huberman Lab discusses myo-inositol in a narrower, occasional context around sleep and night waking.

    Notes and context

    The sleep-toolkit episode discusses myo-inositol in a smaller group of additional supplements, alongside a separate conversation about falling back asleep.

    That is narrower than a general sleep recommendation. The source does not establish broad applicability for night waking or a predictable response for everyone.

  4. Source note

    Melatonin caution

    Matthew Walker frames melatonin primarily as a circadian-timing signal, not a blanket answer for insomnia.

    Notes and context

    In the Huberman Lab conversation, Matthew Walker describes melatonin as a signal of circadian timing: it helps communicate that night is approaching, rather than acting as a blanket insomnia fix.

    He also notes that evidence and applicability differ across people and contexts. That calls for caution around treating it as a universal sleep aid.
