Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn: Monstrous Deep Sleep and Recovery Formula

Train like a hooligan, sleep like a baby. Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn delivers 14 fully disclosed ingredients including 3g glycine, 3g GABA, 600mg ashwagandha, and a dual-release melatonin system.

The tagline says it plainly: Train Like a Hooligan, Sleep Like a Baby.

Apollon Nutrition's From Dusk Till Dawn is the brand's fully disclosed, multi-pathway sleep and recovery formula, targeting everything from stress relief and nervous system calm to sleep onset, sleep depth, and overnight physical repair. If you've heard our podcast with Robik Samborsky, you know Apollon doesn't build half-measures. From Dusk Till Dawn is another example of that.

The formula covers serious ground: highly bioavailable magnesium and zinc anchor the mineral side (both in high doses), while glycine, GABA, lemon balm, and Zylaria® build a multi-layered inhibitory stack where each ingredient reinforces the last. Kanna and ashwagandha handle the stress and cortisol angle, L-Theanine eases the mental transition into sleep, and AstraGin enhances the absorption while supporting gut health (alongside Zylaria, that makes for two NuLiv ingredients). It wraps up with a dual-release melatonin system (MicroActive® plus standard) designed to get you down fast and keep you there. Massive.

There's also a built-in half-scoop option (7.5g, 40 servings) for nights where you want something lighter. No proprietary blends, fully transparent across 14 active ingredients.

Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn Ingredients

Each 1 scoop (15g) serving provides the following:

Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn Ingredients

  • L-Glycine - 3000mg

    L-Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter at glycine receptors in the central nervous system and as a required co-agonist at NMDA receptors.[1] Its sleep-promoting effects trace to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN): oral glycine triggers peripheral vasodilation, accelerates heat loss from the skin, and drops core body temperature, all signals that tell your body it's time to sleep.[2]

    Human trials at 3g before bed (this formula's dose*) found glycine improved subjective sleep quality and reduced next-morning fatigue and sleepiness in both normal and sleep-restricted subjects.[3][4] Glycine is also the principal structural amino acid in collagen, and dietary supply is a rate-limiting factor in collagen synthesis, meaning this dose may support overnight connective tissue repair alongside the sleep benefits.[5] However, it's no substitute for collagen consumption, so if you're concerned for connective tissue, check out Apollon Nutrition's Collagen.

    Alongside the GABA in this formula, glycine adds a second inhibitory channel through a distinct receptor class, extending the calming effect without duplicating mechanism.

    More glycine coming with the magnesium components

    *Note that we're actually getting more glycine in this formula from the magnesium bisglycinate chelate, but we're not sure how much since it's blended with magnesium malate. Regardless, that will definitely put us over the 3g clinical dose of glycine! Kicking things off in true Robik style.

  • GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) - 3000mg

    GABA is the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, acting through GABA-A receptors to reduce neuronal excitability and support a calm mental state.[6]

    Human trials show oral GABA can support healthy sleep onset and quality. A randomized, double-blind study using 300mg daily found sleep latency dropped from 13.4 to 5.7 minutes after four weeks, with sleep efficiency improving from 79.4% to 86.1%.[7] An EEG-based crossover trial similarly found GABA shortened sleep latency and increased total non-REM sleep time, with subjects reporting improved feelings upon awakening.[8]

    Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn Benefits

    On the relaxation side, just 100mg GABA increased alpha brain waves and decreased beta waves within 60 minutes compared to both water and L-theanine.[9]

    Questions around blood-brain barrier permeability remain, with emerging evidence suggesting oral GABA may act through the gut-brain axis or peripheral nervous system rather than direct central action.[10]

    At 3000mg, the dose here is well above typical trial ranges (100-300mg), something Apollon fans are likely used to at this point. There's also synergy: lemon balm inhibits GABA transaminase, slowing its breakdown, while L-theanine co-administration has shown synergistic sleep benefits. Research found the GABA/theanine combo reduced sleep latency and extended sleep duration beyond what either provided alone.[11]

  • Zylaria® (Xylaria nigripes (mycelium), Cuscuta chinensis extract, Panax notoginseng (Root)) - 1000mg

    Zylaria® is NuLiv Science's multi-botanical extract built around Xylaria nigripes, a medicinal fungus with deep traditional Chinese medicine roots in supporting healthy sleep and mood. The full blend combines Xylaria nigripes mycelium with Panax notoginseng root and Cuscuta chinensis seed. In vitro research on PC12 neuron cells showed the complete blend produced the greatest GABA elevation of any combination tested, driven by increased glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity and decreased GABA transaminase (GABA-T) activity.[12] In plain terms: more GABA gets synthesized, and less gets degraded.

    That mechanism reinforces the rest of From Dusk Till Dawn's inhibitory stack directly. The 3000mg GABA dose provides the substrate, Lemon Balm slows its breakdown via GABA-T inhibition, and Zylaria® works the same breakdown angle while also pushing synthesis. On the clinical side, a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials covering 1,850 participants found that Wuling capsule (Xylaria nigripes-based) significantly improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores versus controls, with effects strengthening over 8 weeks.[13]

    A double-clinical dose

    Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn

    NuLiv's listed clinical dose is 500mg, yet at a full scoop, this formula delivers 1000mg. If you listened to our episode #217 podcast with Luis Gonzalez of NuLiv Science, you'll get some of the backstory on this one. Long story short: Robik uses this for his big trips and loves it. Most of us are probably fine at half a scoop, but Apollon caters to the next level of athlete and consumer.

  • Lemon Balm Herb Powder (Melissa Officinalis) (Herb) - 1000mg

    Already mentioned several times above, Lemon Balm ties directly into the formula's GABA strategy through a mechanism its neighbors depend on. The key bioactive, rosmarinic acid, inhibits GABA transaminase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down GABA, letting the 3000mg dose already in the stack persist longer rather than getting cleared.[14][15] Rosmarinic acid also binds directly to GABA-A receptors, reinforcing the inhibitory signal through a second route.[15]

    That second-route activity puts lemon balm in direct conversation with Zylaria®, which also acts on GABA-A receptors. The two converge on the same inhibitory pathway from different angles.

    Clinical data support the calming and sleep effects. Using a standardized lemon balm extract at 600mg/day for 15 days reduced anxiety manifestations by 18% and insomnia scores by 42% in a human trial.[14] A separate three-week RCT using 400mg/day of a phospholipid-based extract showed significant improvements in anxiety, stress, and sleep quality measures (all p < 0.001).[16]

    The 1000mg here is raw herb powder rather than a concentrated extract, so the study doses may not perfectly translate directly. That's worth keeping in mind when reading the clinical numbers, but at the same time, this is yet another no-joke dose.

  • WiSo5X® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) (Root) - 600mg

    Apollon Nutrition Collagen: Dual-Source Collagen Stack for Hard-Training Athletes

    Most collagen supplements stop at one ingredient. Apollon Nutrition Collagen stacks five around a 15g marine base, covering exogenous supply, endogenous production, enzymatic protection, and joint support in one scoop.

    Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic root extract standardized for withanolides, the bioactive steroidal lactones driving ashwagandha's stress-modulating effects. For sleep, the primary mechanism is modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's cortisol output. In a 60-day RCT using 240mg of standardized extract, supplementation was associated with significantly greater reductions in morning serum cortisol compared to placebo, alongside improvements on validated anxiety rating scales.[17] A separate 10-week RCT at 600mg daily showed significant improvements in sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores.[18] A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis across 12 RCTs further confirmed ashwagandha's capacity to support healthy stress and anxiety levels.[19]

    At 600mg, this dose sits at the high end of the studied range and adds targeted cortisol management to the formula's GABA-driven inhibitory stack, addressing the upstream stress load that can blunt those downstream calming signals.

  • L-Theanine - 500mg

    L-Theanine, a green tea amino acid, eases the mental transition from wakefulness into genuine calm by promoting alpha wave activity in the brain.[20] At the neurochemical level, it modulates glutamate receptor activity and supports GABA and dopamine signaling, helping quiet the mental noise that can delay sleep onset.[21]

    Clinical evidence backs the sleep application directly. A four-week, placebo-controlled trial found that 200mg daily improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores, with reductions in sleep latency and sleep disturbance.[22] A 28-day study using 400mg daily showed similar results, with significant reductions in light sleep and improved overall sleep quality.[23]

    We normally see L-theanine in the 100-200mg range. Not with Apollon! At 500mg, From Dusk Till Dawn's dose exceeds both studied ranges. Within this formula, L-theanine's alpha wave promotion complements the GABA and lemon balm inhibitory stack: those ingredients address inhibitory tone at the receptor level, while L-theanine calms the cognitive side of the transition, setting the stage for the dual-release melatonin to carry through the night.

  • KannaEase™ (Sceletium Tortuosum extract) - 50mg

    Apollon Nutrition Casanova: 10-Ingredient Male Vitality Formula Upgraded for 2026

    Apollon Nutrition reformulated Casanova with 10 clinical-dosed ingredients for male vitality. New additions include ashwagandha, shilajit, and spilanthes acmella. Yohimbine removed. Features 1500mg Nitrosigine, upgraded 30% icariin horny goat weed, 500mg black ginger. Blood flow, testosterone support, stress management in one formula.

    KannaEase™ is a standardized extract of Sceletium tortuosum, a South African succulent used traditionally for stress relief and mood support. Its primary mechanisms are serotonin transporter (SERT) inhibition and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibition, driven largely by the alkaloids mesembrine and mesembrenone.[24]

    Clinical research has backed the stress-reduction side. In a pharmaco-fMRI study, a 25mg dose attenuated amygdala reactivity to threat stimuli and reduced amygdala-hypothalamus coupling, suggesting a blunted subcortical stress response.[25] A separate 3-week crossover trial at the same dose reported improvements in cognitive flexibility and executive function, with positive secondary changes in mood and sleep.[26]

    In this formula, kanna's threat-circuitry attenuation complements ashwagandha's cortisol modulation and L-Theanine's calming effect, addressing stress-driven wakefulness that disrupts sleep onset. The 50mg dose here is double the 25mg used across most published trials.

  • AstraGin® (Panax notoginseng (Root) and Astragalus membranaceous (Root)) - 50mg

    AstraGin®, NuLiv Science's patented extract of Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng saponins, is included at its standard 50mg clinical dose. Its bioactive astragalosides and ginsenosides upregulate intestinal nutrient transporters, supporting amino acid and mineral uptake throughout the digestive tract.

    A 2026 randomized crossover trial found that four weeks of AstraGin supplementation significantly increased absorption of valine (14.07%) and leucine (8.34%), with older adults seeing a 12.74% increase in total essential amino acid uptake. The same trial found a 13.01% reduction in blood zonulin levels, indicating support for intestinal barrier integrity.[27]

    Those mechanisms apply directly to the glycine, magnesium, and zinc anchoring this formula's recovery stack. Zylaria® also contains Panax notoginseng, giving From Dusk Till Dawn two NuLiv Science ingredients working in parallel.

  • Dual-Speed Melatonin System (3mg MicroActive® Melatonin and 2mg Melatonin) - 5mg Total

    Apollon Nutrition The Specialist: 26-Ingredient Organ Health Formula with 500mg TUDCA

    Apollon Nutrition The Specialist delivers 26 clinically-dosed ingredients for comprehensive organ support. 500mg TUDCA, 1200mg NAC, 1000mg bergamot, plus vitamins and minerals in 10 capsules daily. Pharmaceutical-grade organ protection built for serious athletes.

    Melatonin is the pineal gland's primary nighttime signal, acting through MT1 and MT2 receptors to synchronize circadian rhythm and initiate sleep.[28][29] The core limitation of standard melatonin is duration: plasma levels typically fall below sleep-maintenance thresholds by hour four or five, leaving the back half of the night uncovered.

    This formula addresses that with a two-component system. The 2mg immediate-release portion drives rapid onset, while the 3mg MicroActive® fraction uses micronized, sustained-release technology to deliver roughly 40% of the dose upfront and release the remainder gradually over seven hours. Plasma studies show MicroActive® peaking around hours three to four, with meaningful coverage extending toward hour six.

    Meta-analyses confirm melatonin's efficacy across populations, including reductions in sleep onset latency and total sleep time improvements.[30] Sleep quality scores also improve significantly with supplementation.[31] A 2024 dose-response analysis found efficacy peaking around 4mg daily,[32] making the 5mg total here a well-supported choice. Paired with this formula's GABA-A inhibitory stack and L-theanine, melatonin's circadian signal lands on a nervous system that's already been eased toward rest.

  • Vitamins and Minerals

    We're not done yet. There's even a larger-than-average amount of magnesium and zinc inside, too!

    • Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) - 12mg | 680% DV

      Vitamin B6, supplied as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), is the active coenzyme form the body deploys directly across more than 140 enzymatic reactions.[33] Two of those reactions connect directly to this formula's goals. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) requires P5P to convert glutamate into GABA, making B6 status a direct upstream variable in GABA availability. P5P also drives aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), a rate-limiting step in converting 5-HTP to serotonin, which the pineal gland uses to synthesize melatonin.

      The form matters. High-dose pyridoxine, the common supplemental form, actually inhibits P5P-dependent enzymes and can impair B6 function at dose levels typical in supplements.[34] P5P bypasses that risk entirely, so this is the right choice. At 12mg (680% DV), this dose helps maintain enzymatic cofactor availability without relying on hepatic conversion.

    • Magnesium (as DiMagnesium Malate & Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate) - 465mg | 110% DV

      Apollon Nutrition From Dusk Till Dawn

      Magnesium acts as a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions, with core roles in ATP synthesis, muscle relaxation, and NMDA receptor modulation.[35] That last mechanism ties directly into the sleep chemistry already built into this stack.

      The two forms here are both high-bioavailability choices. Magnesium bisglycinate chelate binds the mineral to glycine, improving uptake through a dipeptide transport pathway and reducing the GI distress associated with inorganic sources like oxide.[36] Dimagnesium malate contributes malic acid, a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle for cellular energy production. A double-blind crossover trial found both bisglycinate and dimagnesium malate showed better GI tolerability than magnesium citrate at doses up to 600mg.[37]

      For overnight recovery, 350mg/day significantly reduced muscle soreness at 24, 36, and 48 hours post-eccentric exercise while improving perceived recovery scores versus placebo.[38] The pyridoxal-5-phosphate already in this formula adds a relevant synergy: an 8-week RCT in adults with low magnesemia found magnesium plus B6 produced greater improvements in stress and anxiety scores than magnesium alone.[39] At 465mg elemental, this dose well exceeds what most sleep products provide... notice a trend here?

    • Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate) - 33.4mg | 300% DV

      Zinc bisglycinate chelate earns a dedicated spot in this recovery stack beyond its immune credentials. Zinc also modulates GABA activity and supports melatonin synthesis, tying it directly to two pathways already running in this formula.[40][41]

      A 12-week human trial using 15mg daily improved both sleep efficiency and onset latency compared to placebo.[41] A double-blind RCT in ICU nurses found zinc supplementation significantly improved total PSQI scores, subjective sleep quality, and sleep latency within one month.[42] A 2024 systematic review of eight RCTs, with daily doses ranging from 10mg to 73.3mg, found that the majority of evidence supports meaningful sleep quality improvements in adults.[40]

      For Apollon's hard-training athletes, the 33.4mg dose (300% DV) also addresses the faster zinc depletion that regular training drives.[43] Zinc supports healthy testosterone levels as well,[44] adding a hormonal recovery angle to its sleep role. Alongside the magnesium and melatonin in this formula, zinc completes a mineral combination with documented synergistic effects on sleep.[41]

    Who It's For

    • Hard-training athletes: If your training volume is high enough that recovery is the limiting factor, this formula addresses the overnight window directly across multiple mechanisms.
    • Anyone struggling to fall or stay asleep: The dual-release melatonin system and inhibitory amino acid stack target both sides of that problem.
    • High-stress individuals: The cortisol-lowering and mood-stabilizing ingredients make this relevant beyond just the gym crowd -- anyone dealing with overthinking or poor sleep quality from daily stress has a use case here.

    Conclusion: Sleep Is the Training You Can't Skip

    Hands down, this is the most epic and aggressive sleep aid we've ever seen. Most will not need a full two scoops.

    Robert Samborsky of Apollon Nutrition and Apollon Gym discusses Hooligan V8 and the 2026 product roadmap on Episode #211 of the PricePlow Podcast

    Robert "Robik" Samborsky, founder of Apollon Nutrition and owner of the legendary Apollon Gym in Edison, NJ, shares his full origin story from Soviet-era Ukraine through Muay Thai title fights in Thailand to building one of the most trusted hardcore supplement brands in the industry on Episode #211 of the PricePlow Podcast

    Apollon athletes realize this: Recovery isn't a passive process. Muscle repair, hormonal rebalancing, and neural recovery all happen during sleep, and compromising that window compromises the work you put in during the day. From Dusk Till Dawn addresses that with the same clinical seriousness Apollon brings to its pre-workouts, targeting sleep onset, sleep depth, cortisol, and overnight physical repair through 14 fully disclosed ingredients.

    The formula architecture is large yet cohesive. The 3000mg GABA dose gets support from Lemon Balm's GABA transaminase inhibition, which slows its breakdown. Zylaria® reinforces that inhibitory theme through GABA-A receptor activity. Ashwagandha handles the cortisol side. L-Theanine bridges the gap between anxious wakefulness and genuine calm. Then dual-release melatonin carries you through the night. Few sleep products coordinate those mechanisms in a single, fully transparent label.

    If you want the complete picture on how Apollon approaches formula-building, our podcast conversation with Robik Samborsky is worth your time. And if joint and connective tissue recovery is part of your overnight goal, pairing this with Apollon Collagen makes glycine work double duty between the two formulas.
