Why Does Marine Collagen Support Better Sleep?
Marine collagen contains some of the highest concentrations of glycine among dietary protein sources — and glycine is one of the most studied natural compounds for sleep quality. Clinical research shows glycine supplementation reduces the time it takes to fall asleep, improves subjective sleep quality, and reduces next-day fatigue. Unlike melatonin, glycine works by lowering core body temperature and calming the central nervous system rather than overriding the body's natural sleep signals. Shore Magic's marine collagen and Beauty Sleep formula are both rich in this key amino acid.
The team behind Shore Magic’s award-winning pure marine collagen is dedicated to bringing you your best sleep ever with Beauty Sleep, a non-habit-forming sleep aid with Beauty Benefits.
Powered by the high glycine content in Shore Magic’s Premium Marine Collagen to promote a restful sleep, along with magnesium from seawater and potent L-Theanine from camellia sinensis leaves, Beauty Sleep sets the tone for your best night’s sleep, without the use of melatonin.
The beauty benefits begin with Shore Magic’s Premium Marine Collagen. Our silica, sourced from bamboo, has incredible beauty benefits by naturally stimulating the formation of hyaluronic acid. Sourced from acerola cherries, our rich Vitamin C provides antioxidant support and plays a key role in supporting collagen production.
With a light orange-vanilla flavor, Beauty Sleep is delicious mixed with plain water. But for those who want to elevate their bedtime routine, Shore Magic Founder Joy Harari crafted the ultimate Sleep Girl Mocktail.
Why Choose the Shore Magic Sleepy Girl Mocktail?
Shore Magic Beauty Sleep: A refreshing elixir packed with all the naturally sourced ingredients you need to sleep sound and wake up GLOWING.
Tart Cherry Juice: Tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep cycles. Including tart cherry juice in your mocktail can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep.
Lemon-Lime Soda: Joy recommends a low-calorie, stevia-sweetened option like Zevia to add a refreshing and bubbly twist to your mocktail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does collagen help you fall asleep?
A: Yes — the glycine in collagen has been shown in clinical research to reduce sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and improve the quality of sleep. Shore Magic's Marine Collagen and Beauty Sleep formula both contain significant glycine from marine collagen peptides.
Q: How much glycine is in collagen for sleep?
A: Glycine makes up approximately 33% of collagen's amino acid structure — the highest concentration of any dietary protein source. Shore Magic's 10g serving provides a meaningful therapeutic dose of glycine in a single daily addition to any beverage.
Q: What is the Sleepy Girl Mocktail?
A: The Sleepy Girl Mocktail is a viral wellness trend combining tart cherry juice (a natural source of melatonin) with a magnesium supplement for sleep. Shore Magic's version replaces the magnesium drink with Beauty Sleep — which provides marine collagen (glycine), magnesium from seawater, L-theanine, and vitamin C, without melatonin.
Q: Is Shore Magic Beauty Sleep safe to take every night?
A: Yes. Shore Magic Beauty Sleep is non-habit-forming and contains no melatonin. It is formulated for consistent nightly use — the ingredients support natural sleep physiology rather than overriding it.
Q: Can I use regular Shore Magic collagen for sleep, or do I need Beauty Sleep?
A: Shore Magic's original marine collagen provides glycine that supports sleep quality. Beauty Sleep adds magnesium, L-theanine, vitamin C, and silica for a more comprehensive nighttime formula. Both can support sleep; Beauty Sleep is specifically optimized for it.
Q: When should I drink the Sleepy Girl Mocktail?
A: About 30–60 minutes before bed. This gives glycine time to cross the blood-brain barrier and begin its calming effects before you lie down.
