Why sleep changes at this stage

You didn't get worse at sleeping. The rules changed.

As oestrogen and progesterone shift through perimenopause and menopause, sleep changes on three fronts at once. It isn't in your head, and it isn't only about 3am.

Getting to sleep

Harder to switch off

Falling progesterone, the calming hormone, can leave you wired at bedtime when you used to drop off easily.

Staying asleep

Waking through the night

Temperature swings and night sweats surface you out of sleep, often in the small hours, and getting back down is the hard part.

Sleep quality

Less of the deep, restoring stuff

More time in light sleep and less in deep and REM, so even a full night in bed can leave you waking unrefreshed.

Sleep scores don't lie

It isn't how long you're in bed. It's where the night goes.

On a broken night you're stuck in light sleep, or awake, and barely touch the deep and REM stages that repair you. SleepShake is built to shift the shape of the whole night, not to knock you out at one moment.

Two real nights, tracked on a phone. Deep and REM are the stages that repair you; the meter under each night shows how much of it was actually spent there.

SUPPORT THROUGH THE NIGHT

Not one moment. The shape of the night.

Thoughtfully formulated nutrients to help you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep for longer, and wake feeling like yourself again.

Easier to fall asleep

Glycine and magnesium help support the transition to rest, so drifting off doesn’t become a struggle.

Fewer wake-ups, deeper sleep

Blue light support ingredients are designed to help you stay asleep for longer through the night.

Wake up refreshed

Wake feeling more rested, calm and ready for the day ahead.

The label is the hero

The industry hides its doses. Here's ours, to the milligram.

Most sleep powders say "contains magnesium" and stop. Ours prints the form and the milligrams of every ingredient. It is the only way you, or your pharmacist, can actually judge it.

If your last magnesium did nothing, don't conclude magnesium does nothing. Find its elemental dose on the old label, then compare it to the panel here.

Why the last one did nothing

The last magnesium didn't fail you. Its dose did.

A typical tablet carries one form, often oxide, the cheapest and worst absorbed, at whatever dose fits a small pill.

SleepShake is a powder because these doses wouldn't fit in a tablet. Two absorbable forms of magnesium, plus glycine. And no melatonin, so there's nothing to sleep off in the morning.

The taste question

A light berry powder. No chalk, no stevia aftertaste.

We listened to what our customers told us: no one wants a heavy drink before bed, and no one wants to load up on liquid and be up half the night for the toilet because of it. So we changed our approach.

We realised most sleep powders taste like chocolate for a reason: it covers up the combination of ingredients actually in the jar. Ours doesn't need to hide anything, as we've used only the purest and highest quality ingredients, so we could build something different: a light, refreshing berry that mixes clean into as little as 100ml of water, no milk needed.

We're the first and only brand offering a genuine alternative to the heavy chocolate format, built directly from what women told us they wanted instead.

  • Vegan
  • Nut free
  • Gluten free
  • No added sugar

Contains sulphites, and the label says so.

This is not for you if you get to sleep and stay asleep easily.

For when you’re over the cycle each night of lying awake, your mind won’t switch off, and you wake up exhausted. Life Lab & Co. exists to help you find a more natural way to sleep, so you can wake up clearer, brighter and more like you.

The credentials

Listed, not just labelled

AUST L 524569 on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.

Pharmacist-checkable

Every dose printed, so your GP or chemist can vet it in one glance.

Australian made & owned

Formulated and made here, not white-labelled from a catalogue.

Asked before buying

Fair questions, straight answers.

I'm perimenopausal. Is this made for me?

Yes. It's formulated for exactly the sleep changes that arrive in your forties, fifties and sixties: harder to fall asleep, waking through the night, and waking unrefreshed. It supports sleep generally. It isn't a hormone treatment, and it won't touch hot flushes themselves.

Is this for falling asleep, or staying asleep?

Both. The formula is built for the whole night: settling into sleep in the first place, and holding onto it instead of surfacing at 3am. It supports the quality of the night overall, with more time in the deep and REM stages that actually restore you, rather than fixing one moment of it.

Will it knock me out or leave me groggy?

No. There's no melatonin and no sedative in it, so there's nothing to sleep off in the morning. It isn't a knockout pill and we won't pretend otherwise: because it improves the quality of your sleep rather than sedating you, you'll still wake if something needs you, whether that's a child calling out or the smoke alarm going off. What changes is the kind of sleep you get in between: more time in deep and REM stages, less of the light, restless sleep that leaves you feeling like you were barely under.

What exactly is in it?

Six active ingredients: glycine, magnesium glycinate, magnesium citrate (two separate forms of magnesium), ashwagandha, reishi, and blue chamomile with apigenin. Every form and every milligram is printed on the front of the jar, so you or your pharmacist can judge it in one glance. No melatonin, no added sugar, no maltodextrin.

When do I take it, and how much?

Two 5g scoops (10g in total) in about 100ml of cold water, 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Shake, drink, done. Water only, no milk, and nothing to heat or boil. Like a gym session or a collagen routine, one night won't tell you much: it's the consistent nightly habit that builds the benefit.

Why is there no melatonin in it?

Melatonin supplements hand your body melatonin from outside, which can suppress its own production over time. We took the opposite approach: ingredients that support your body making its own, so the sleep you get is yours rather than borrowed. It also means there's nothing to leave you groggy the next morning.

I've tried magnesium before and it did nothing. Why would this be different?

Usually it isn't the magnesium that failed, it's the form and the dose. A typical tablet carries one form, often oxide, the cheapest and worst absorbed, at whatever amount fits a small pill. This uses two better-absorbed forms, glycinate and citrate, at doses that simply don't fit in a tablet or a gummy: you'd need four to five tablets or around twenty gummies to match what's in one serve. That's the reason it's a powder.

Is it safe with my medications, or while pregnant?

That's exactly the right question to ask, and the honest answer is: check with your GP or pharmacist. Every ingredient, form and dose is printed on the label specifically so they can vet it in one glance. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a diagnosed condition, have that conversation before you start.

How much does it work out per night?

The jar is $79.90 for 30 serves, which is $2.66 a night, with a free shaker on your very first order, whatever you order. Subscribers pay $75.90 a jar, or $2.53 a night, with the same first-order shaker offer.

Shipping, and pausing a subscription?

Free shipping applies on orders of $100 or more, Australia-wide, with the estimate shown at checkout. Subscriptions deliver every 30, 45 or 60 days, and pause, skip or cancel any time.
