Overview of Alpha Lion SuperHuman Sleep
Sleep aids are always hit or miss in this current industry. Sometimes the buyer pays for some overpriced product that touts certain "campaign promises" but ends up coming up short. Other times, like for this instance, the buyer gets to experience true improvement in their sleep and overall recovery.
Deep sleep is so important for so many reasons which is why we were very happy with our overall experience with SuperHuman Sleep. We would have liked to see certain ingredients like Mucuna Pruriens and KSM-66 dosed a little higher but overall the whole formula is solid and effective.
Why You Should Trust Our Reviews
- EXPERT REVIEW PANEL
Our review panel is made up of individuals with many years of experience in the sports nutrition industry, dating back to the early 2000’s. Their tenure gives them knowledge on brands, supplements, ingredients, dosages and more. - FULL CONTAINER REVIEWS
Unlike the majority of “review” sites on the internet, Fitness Informant reviews every supplement on a full-container basis. What does this mean? It means that a review is not written or recorded until the last serving of that product has been finished. We’ve all had products that were great for the first couple of days, but then lost their effectiveness shortly after. We want to ensure you are getting a full review based on a full product. - INGREDIENT EDUCATION
We breakdown each ingredient in our reviews to educate you on exactly what the ingredients do, and what is the proper dosage of each ingredient to effectively do what they are intended to do. - 100% HONEST – NO B.S. REVIEWS
Our number #1 priority is to inform you proper supplement selection through honest reviews. The majority of “review” sites on the internet will push you to buy a certain product based on the commissions they received. Not us. We want you to purchase the highest quality supplements at the best value. We put your health and wellness first. To achieve your goals we want you to use only the best supplements that you can afford. We do this by being honest.

Testing Results and Ratings
We reviewed Alpha Lion SuperHuman Sleep on five categories. We first start by looking at it’s ingredient profile. This portion of the review looks at the different ingredients used in the sleep aid supplement, what their intention is and how effectively dosed are each ingredient.
We then look at effectiveness. An effective sleep-aid product will use high quality, proven ingredients, at clinically backed dosages. This is generally an extension of the profile section. The higher quality ingredients used at proper dosages, the more effective that sleep-aid will be.
Then we move into the taste of the different flavors we’ve tried. We grade each flavor separately and average the scores for their overall taste rating. We were able to test out the following flavors: Slaughtermelon.
Mixability refers to how well the powder mixes in 6-8oz of water. We use the shaker bottle test. This would be your typical Blender Bottle with the spiral chrome ball.
Finally, we talk about value. Value is the combination of profile, effectiveness, taste and mixability in relation to cost. Another part of value are the competitors and other versions of sleep-aid products on the market.
Ingredients Profile
First we get L-Glycine dosed at 3g. L-Glycine is an amino acid that your body uses to create proteins, the body also needs it for the growth of tissues and for making important substances, such as hormones and enzymes. Clinical dosages are between 3-5g so we’re right on target here. 
Next we get L-Tryptophan dosed at 1g. L-Tryptophan’s most vital function is its role as a precursor for serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that may promote not only good sleep but also a stable mood. Effective dosages are between 1-2g so this is good.
ZMA Recovery Matrix
Firstly we are getting a total of 440mg of Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (TRAACS). Magnesium is a well known vital nutrient that has been linked to many benefits, including improving sleep. Recommended dosages are between 310-420mg per day so we’re good here.
Next we get Zinc dosed at 177mg total. Zinc has been shown to aid in DNA synthesis, immune function support and assist with anti inflammatory issues. Clinically we see effective dosages of Zinc start at 40mg so we are solidn here at 150mg.
Next we have Vitamin B6 dosed in an overall of 26.5mg. Vitamin B6 is significant for protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Recommended daily dosages of Vitamin B6 start around 25mg so we’re all set with this.
HGH Matrix
Starting us off with 2g of L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is known for assisting with overall muscle recovery and repair. According to a study conducted in 2018 L-Glutamine is the most prominent naturally occuring amino acid in the body, meaning that you don’t HAVE to supplement with it, unless of course you are doing so for a medical reason.
Next we have 350mg of GABA. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter which is made in the brain. It is a sedative and is needed for relaxation. We are a big fan of GABA here at FI. Clinical dosages start at 750mg so we are a little short here.
Next we get Mucuna Pruriens 40% dosed at 175mg. Prolonged use of Mucuna Pruriens has been shown to be beneficial at reducing cortisol levels. Lower cortisol levels is key to growth. Recommended dosages start at 350mg so we’re short here. In SuperHuman Sleep we are yielding Mucuna Pruriens at 40% which means we’re only getting 70mg overall.
Tranquility Matrix
The Tranquility Matrix starts us off with 75mg of Chamomile Flower. Chamomile has been shown to assist with being a mild sedative. To date, there is no “standard” dose of this ingredient at this time.
Next we have Melatonin dosed at 2mg. Melatonin is a hormone primarily released by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. Melatonin, dosed between 1-3mg has been shown to help the user in falling asleep and staying alseep. With us getting 2mg, we are good to go on this.
Anti Stress Matrix
KSM-66 is dosed at 200mg. KSM-66 Ashwagandha has been shown to to boost natural testosterone levels and also lower cortisol levels. Daily recommended dosages start at 300mg so we are just slightly underdosed with this.
Next we have L-Theanine dosed at 200mg. L-Theanine is an amino acid and is widely known for relaxation and mood elevation without sedation. Recommended dosages start at 50mg so were are solid here at 200mg.
Absorption Matrix
Lastly we get 200mg of Sodium, 50mg of AstraGin and 40mg of Potassium. These three ingredients greatly assist with the absorption of the overall formula. This is pretty standard to have these in dietary products and all three dosages line up to where they should be.
Effectiveness
SuperHuman Sleep offers lifters a better chance to relax, recover and get overall better sleep. Did Sleep deliver on these offers? Yes!
SuperHuman Sleep was taken over the course of 4 weeks and we undoubtedly had much better sleep for that entire month, compared to months without taking it. Upon taking the product you’ll notice a difference in mood,a better mood that is. The shining star of this product is the Anti Stress Matrix which delivers solid ingredients such as KSM-66 and L-Theanine. Here at FI we are a big fan of both of these and you will for sure notice a massive decline of stress levels after taking SuperHuman Sleep.
The quality of sleep also greatly improved while taking this product. Deep REM sleep accompanied by crazy dreams became “the norm” during the time we had with SuperHuman Sleep. We never experienced any brain fog or grogginess upon waking, which was a huge bonus.
Recovery overall was great, better sleep meant better a better recovery process overall. When you’re well rested and recovered, that allowed us to hit the gym harder and harder on every single training day.
Taste
Slaughtermelon:
We went through a tub of the Slaughtermelon flavor of SuperHuman Sleep and it did not disappoint us.
Slaughtermelon is Alpha Lions take on a traditional watermelon flavor. It is safe to say that a watermelon flavor may not interest everyone but let us clear on something, EVERYONE would enjoy this flavor and we insist you give it a try.
Alpha Lion uses Sucralose to sweeten their products and it hits just right. Not too sweet and for sure not too tart. Slaughtermelon tastes very natural, making it very easy to imagine that you are literally biting into a piece of juicy watermelon (minus the seeds of course!!)
Overall we very much enjoyed the flavor profile of SuperHuman Sleep. Kudos to Alpha Lion on this!
Mixability
We mixed 1 scoop (10.1g) of SuperHuman Sleep in 10 oz of cold water, the mixing was done using our FI Cyclone Shaker Cup.
Minimal foaming at the top, as expected. Absolutely no leftover “floaties” and went down very smoothly. You may have the occasional settling of ingredients if you let the product sit in the shaker after a few minutes but that’s nothing to worry about, as will a few additional follow up shakes will take care of that.
Overall we were happy with how the product mixed. You can observe these findings via our mixing video.
Value
SuperHuman Sleep is currently priced at $44.99 on Alpha Lions website. With 30 servings this means you’ll be paying around $1.49 per serving which is a solid price. Use code INFORMANT during your purchase and it will bring the total price to just above $38, even better!
For the quality of sleep and better relaxation before bed that SuperHuman sleep offers, the price tag for this product is well worth it. Sure, several ingredients are underdosed here but that does not take away from the overall value of this product. It will be money well spent.
