Dr. Jan Gruber, PhD, is a biochemist and Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), specialising in ageing biology, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress. His research explores the molecular mechanisms of longevity and has been published in leading journals. He completed his PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and also studied physics and mathematics at the University of Cambridge. His work often uses simple organisms such as tiny worms (C. elegans) to understand how ageing happens at the cellular level, and to test new ways to slow it down.

Dr. Vincenzo Sorrentino, PhD, is a molecular biologist and Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), specialising in ageing, mitochondrial health, and NAD⁺ metabolism. His research has been published in leading journals including Nature and Cell Reports. He completed his PhD in Medical Biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam and went on to study how metabolism and nutrition affect ageing. His current work looks at how molecules like NAD⁺, which fuel our cells, and the maintenance of proteins in the body, can support healthier ageing.

Ask Anything.
What ingredients are in The Unwind and how do they work?
The Unwind contains Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate) and L-theanine. Magtein® is a highly absorbable magnesium that crosses the blood–brain barrier to support memory, focus, and sleep quality. L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea leaves, calms the mind without drowsiness, reduces stress, and sharpens focus. Together, they promote relaxation, deeper sleep, and balanced mental clarity.
What daily dosage do you recommend?
Take 2–4 capsules daily, preferably in the evening or as directed by your healthcare provider. For sleep, start with 2 capsules about one hour before bedtime. If needed, you may increase to 4 capsules. Always follow the instructions on the label for best results.
Is The Unwind safe, and can I take it with other supplements or medications?
Magtein® and L-theanine are well-researched and generally safe when used as directed. In rare cases, mild digestive discomfort or headaches may occur. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications (including sedatives or blood pressure drugs), consult your healthcare provider before use. Discontinue if adverse effects occur.
How quickly will I notice results?
Many people feel calmer and sleep better within 1–2 weeks, sometimes days! But with consistent use, deeper sleep, steadier mood, and clearer focus typically build over 4–6 weeks.
Is this the same formulation recommended by Andrew Huberman?
Yes — The Unwind combines the exact two ingredients Dr. Andrew Huberman frequently recommends for sleep and relaxation: magnesium L-threonate (Magtein®) and L-theanine. This blend is directly inspired by his science-backed discussions on brain health, sleep quality, and stress reduction. For those interested in Dr. Huberman’s other recommendations, he also frequently discusses Apigenin for its sleep-promoting benefits. You can find Apigenin in our best-selling product, The Repair, which combines this powerful compound with other research-backed ingredients for comprehensive wellness support.
However, these products are not created by or officially endorsed by Dr. Huberman or Stanford University.
