How it works
Despite the name, its mechanism is poorly understood. It's proposed to influence sleep regulation, stress hormones, and neuromodulation, but there's no clean, agreed-upon pathway.
The evidence
Human evidence is limited and inconsistent — older studies with mixed results and little modern, rigorous replication. The gap between its evocative name and its actual proof is wide.
Safety
Human safety is not well characterized in modern controlled studies. It's an unapproved research chemical, so both effects and vial contents are uncertain.
FAQ
The evidence is thin and inconsistent despite the name. Treat sleep claims as unproven.
No — experimental.
