Dietary supplement notice: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary.
Why Choose Shut Eye?
A complete formula that complements sound sleep habits.
Sleep-Wake Support
Melatonin, magnesium, vitamin B6, L-tryptophan, and 5-HTP support the body's normal nighttime processes.
Rutaecarpine Included
Contains 25 mg of rutaecarpine per capsule, the distinctive botanical ingredient highlighted on the product label.
One-Capsule Serving
The Supplement Facts panel lists a one-capsule serving. The label suggests 1 to 2 capsules before bed.
The Rutaecarpine Difference
A distinctive botanical ingredient paired with established sleep-support nutrients and herbs.
Evodia rutaecarpa is a botanical source of rutaecarpine.
What the research suggests
Laboratory and animal research has examined rutaecarpine's effects on enzymes involved in caffeine metabolism. In rat studies, rutaecarpine repeatedly accelerated caffeine clearance, apparently by increasing liver enzymes—especially CYP1A2 and CYP2E1—that metabolize caffeine and its metabolites. The results suggest rutaecarpine was doing more than merely reducing caffeine absorption—it appeared to increase metabolic clearance.
Human evidence is still limited, so Shut Eye and rutaecarpine supplements have not been proven to eliminate caffeine or treat insomnia.
The most reliable first step is caffeine timing. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute notes that caffeine can interfere with sleep and that its effects may last up to eight hours.
Shut Eye is intended to support a healthy bedtime routine, not replace adequate sleep, good sleep habits, or medical care.

Directions and safety
Suggested use: Take 1 to 2 vegan capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bed with water, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Caution: For adult use only. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medication, or have a serious medical condition. Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, consuming alcohol, or participating in high-risk activity while taking Shut Eye.
Because this formula contains melatonin, L-tryptophan, and 5-HTP, discuss it with a healthcare professional if you take medicines that affect serotonin, blood clotting, seizure control, or sedation.
How Shut Eye Fits a Better Bedtime Routine
Use the product only as labeled and pair it with the habits that do the most work.
Protect Your Schedule
Keep a consistent bedtime and wake time, including weekends whenever possible.
Manage Caffeine
Move caffeine earlier in the day. Animal studies suggest rutaecarpine may accelerate caffeine clearance, but do not rely on a supplement to cancel late caffeine intake.
Wind Down
Dim lights, reduce screens, and keep the bedroom cool, quiet, and dark.
Follow the Label
Take 1 to 2 capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bed. Do not exceed the label directions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules should I take?
The label suggests 1 to 2 capsules with water 30 to 60 minutes before bed, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Does Shut Eye eliminate caffeine?
Animal studies support the concept, but no finished-product clinical trial establishes that claim. Rutaecarpine has been studied and shown to affect caffeine metabolism in laboratory and animal models, but human evidence is limited. The best-supported approach is to limit caffeine late in the day.
Can I take it every night?
The label describes adult bedtime use, but long-term melatonin safety has not been established. Ask a healthcare professional about regular use, especially if you take medicines or have a medical condition.
Can I combine it with alcohol or other sleep products?
Do not combine it with alcohol. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before combining it with sedatives, other sleep products, melatonin, 5-HTP, or L-tryptophan.
When should I talk to a doctor about sleep?
Talk with a healthcare professional if sleep problems occur most nights, persist for more than two weeks, impair daytime functioning, or include loud snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing.
