What it is:
Sleep Benefits™ is a vegetarian, multi-ingredient sleep and circadian rhythm support formula developed by DaVinci Labs. The formula features five clinically studied compounds — including patented Shoden® ashwagandha, Suntheanine® L-theanine, and melatonin — alongside GABA and lemon balm leaf extract, all delivered at clinically relevant dosages. Designed for practitioner-directed use in sleep support protocols, Sleep Benefits™ addresses three distinct dimensions of sleep physiology: the ability to fall asleep, the quality and depth of sleep architecture, and the maintenance of healthy circadian rhythm regulation. It is particularly well-suited for clients presenting with stress-related sleep disruption, difficulty with sleep onset, or suboptimal sleep quality.
How it works:
Sleep Benefits™ works through complementary neurological, neuroendocrine, and adaptogenic mechanisms to support comprehensive sleep physiology. Melatonin, an endogenous pineal hormone, directly supports circadian rhythm entrainment by signaling the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to initiate sleep-onset cascades, helping reduce sleep latency and promote normal sleep-wake cycle timing. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, promotes neurological calm by binding to GABA-A receptors and attenuating excitatory neural activity associated with wakefulness and stress-induced arousal. Suntheanine® L-theanine, a patented, pharmaceutical-grade free-form amino acid derived from green tea, promotes alpha-wave brain activity associated with relaxed wakefulness and supports GABAergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter pathways, facilitating deeper, more restorative sleep without sedation. Shoden® ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), standardized to the highest glycowithanolide content available, supports HPA axis modulation and healthy cortisol regulation, addressing the adrenal-driven arousal that commonly disrupts circadian balance and sleep quality. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leaf extract supports GABA transaminase inhibition, effectively prolonging GABAergic calming activity, while also helping attenuate the stress response through rosmarinic acid-mediated mechanisms.
When to use it:
Sleep Benefits™ is appropriate for practitioner-directed use in adult clients presenting with sleep onset difficulty, stress-related sleep disruption, poor sleep quality, or circadian dysregulation associated with shift work, jet lag, or HPA axis imbalance. The formula is best administered as two capsules taken before bedtime, allowing sufficient time for neuroendocrine and GABAergic mechanisms to take effect prior to sleep onset. It is particularly well-suited for integration into protocols targeting adrenal recovery, stress management, and nervous system support, where sleep restoration is a primary clinical objective. Practitioners should exercise appropriate oversight when recommending melatonin-containing formulas to clients on medications affecting CNS function or circadian biology.

Key Ingredients
Melatonin — 5 mg An endogenous pineal neurohormone that serves as the primary chronobiological signal for circadian rhythm entrainment, acting on MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus to initiate sleep-onset cascades. Exogenous melatonin supplementation helps reinforce the natural dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO) signal, supporting timely sleep initiation and healthy sleep-wake cycle regulation. At 5 mg per serving, this formula delivers a clinically relevant dose to help reduce sleep latency and support restorative sleep architecture in clients with circadian disruption or sleep onset challenges.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) — 500 mg The principal inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian central nervous system, functioning primarily through GABA-A and GABA-B receptor binding to attenuate excitatory neuronal activity and promote neurological calm. Supplemental GABA has been shown to support relaxation and help reduce the physiological hyperarousal associated with stress-driven sleep disruption. At 500 mg per serving, GABA provides foundational inhibitory neurotransmitter support to help facilitate sleep onset and promote a calm pre-sleep neurological state.
Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Extract — 120 mg A highly concentrated, patented ashwagandha extract standardized to ≥35% glycowithanolides — the highest standardization level commercially available — providing clinically active withanolide content at a lower absolute dose than conventional ashwagandha extracts. Shoden® supports HPA axis regulation by helping to modulate cortisol secretion and attenuate the adrenal-driven arousal that commonly interferes with circadian balance and sleep architecture. Clinically studied for its ability to support sleep quality, sleep efficiency, and morning alertness, Shoden® provides both adaptogenic stress resilience and targeted sleep-quality support within a single ingredient.
L-Theanine (Suntheanine® Brand) — 100 mg A patented, pharmaceutical-grade, enzymatically produced form of pure L-theanine — the bioactive amino acid naturally present in green tea — manufactured to a purity standard not achievable through conventional extraction. Suntheanine® promotes alpha-wave brain activity associated with relaxed, alert wakefulness and supports GABAergic and serotonergic neurotransmitter pathways to facilitate deeper, more restorative sleep without daytime sedation or dependency. Its synergistic interaction with GABA and melatonin within this formula provides complementary neurological support across the sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and sleep quality dimensions of healthy sleep physiology.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) Leaf Extract — 150 mg A standardized extract of Melissa officinalis leaf, a botanically well-characterized member of the mint family with a long history of traditional use in sleep and stress support applications. Lemon balm's primary active constituents — including rosmarinic acid and flavonoids — support GABA transaminase inhibition, effectively prolonging GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmitter activity and extending the calming effect within the CNS. This mechanism complements the direct GABA content in the formula, collectively supporting a sustained neurologically calm pre-sleep state and helping promote healthy sleep onset and duration.
