Personalised nutrition brand, Nourished, has today announced the launch of Sleep Pro - an advanced sleep support gummy designed to help people achieve deeper, longer and more restorative sleep through an innovative, science-led formulation.
The launch comes as poor sleep continues to affect millions of people across the UK. In fact, new research from Nourished found that 91% of UK adults wake during the night at least once a week, leaving just 9% fortunate enough to enjoy uninterrupted sleep. The research painted a worrying picture of a nation struggling to switch off, with more than half of Britons (56%) concerned poor sleep could have a long-term impact on their health.
The launch also comes amid growing public interest in sleep health, with increasing awareness of the role quality sleep plays in everything from mental wellbeing and productivity to long-term physical health. As consumers become more proactive about supporting their overall wellbeing, demand for science-backed sleep solutions continues to grow.
Sleep Pro marks the arrival of the first UK consumer product to feature PeptiSleep®, an innovative plant-derived peptide identified using Nuritas' artificial intelligence-powered peptide discovery platform.
Developed using Nourished's patented precision manufacturing technology, the formula combines a clinically studied dose of 250mg PeptiSleep® with vitamin C, Tart Cherry extract, zinc and vitamins B1, B6, B12 and D3 in a convenient sugar-free gummy designed to support healthy sleep as part of a nightly routine.
In a clinical study involving adults with mild to moderate sleep impairment, participants taking 250mg of PeptiSleep® daily experienced a 17% increase in deep sleep, a 13% increase in REM sleep, around 40 additional minutes of total sleep per night, alongside improvements in next-day recovery measured using wearable sleep technology.
Unlike ingredients designed to induce drowsiness, research suggests PeptiSleep® supports healthier sleep through a non-addictive mechanism by helping regulate peripheral cortisol levels, promoting calmer, more restorative sleep.
While melatonin supplements are widely available over the counter in countries including the United States and across much of Europe, they cannot legally be sold as food supplements in the UK and are only available on prescription for specific medical indications.
As a result, UK consumers have relatively few science-backed nutritional products specifically formulated to support sleep quality. Sleep Pro has been developed to help address this gap, harnessing advances in peptide discovery and nutritional science to support the body's natural sleep processes without the use of hormones.
Melissa Snover, Founder and CEO of Rem3dy Health, parent company of Nourished, said:
"Sleep has become one of the biggest health challenges of modern life, yet many people still struggle to find solutions that are both effective and backed by robust science.
"In the UK, consumers have limited science-backed nutritional solutions designed to support better sleep. We saw an opportunity to create something fundamentally different by combining the breakthrough innovation of Pepti Sleep® with carefully selected complementary nutrients in a format that's convenient, enjoyable and easy to take consistently.”
”At Nourished, our ambition has always been to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and everyday wellbeing. Sleep Pro is a powerful example of that vision in action, bringing together breakthrough peptide science, evidence-led formulation and our patented manufacturing technology to make the latest advances in nutritional science accessible to everyday consumers."
Dr. Nora Khaldi, Founder and CEO of Nuritas, said:
"PeptiSleep® represents a new generation of nutritional science, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can unlock naturally occurring bioactive peptides with meaningful health benefits.
By combining advanced AI-powered discovery with rigorous scientific validation, we've identified a plant-derived peptide that has been clinically shown to improve key measures of sleep quality.
We're delighted to partner with Nourished to bring Sleep Pro - the first UK gummy featuring PeptiSleep® - to consumers. Together, we're demonstrating how breakthrough science and innovative product development can make the latest advances in sleep support more accessible to everyday consumers.
All Nourished products are plant-based, sugar-free and free from artificial colours, gelatine and all major allergens.
Sleep Pro is available now from get-nourished.com and selected Holland & Barrett stores nationwide, with an RRP of £29.99 for a tube containing 30 gummies.
