Natural melatonin supplements that give users ‘eight hours of undisturbed sleep'
With reports of more people than ever having issues with dropping off to sleep, staying asleep or having high quality sleep, supplements that claim to help with this are becoming more and more popular – and we've found a set containing a natural source of melatonin that is only getting five star reviews from happy customers.
Supplements brand Verve – who also make a popular greens powder, which I've reviewed here – sells its Eclipse Duo, a set of two different supplement capsules designed to help give a 'restful and uninterrupted night's sleep' and with the brand claiming that results should be noticeable within two weeks.
The most popular way to buy the Eclipse Duo is through the monthly subscription, which costs £40 per month (that's £1.33 per serving). It's also available on quarterly subscriptions for £110 (£1.22 per dose), or if you just want to try a month's supply before committing, this is a one-off payment of £50.
Working together to help you to drop off to sleep and then stay asleep, these capsules contain 15 ingredients to reduce tiredness, promote calmness and improve sleep quality, including Montmorency cherry, which contains a natural source of melatonin, the body's hormone that regulates sleep cycles.
And these supplements have proven to be so popular with customers struggling with sleep that all the reviews so far are five star ones, including the following:
"After years of troubled sleep a friend suggested I try Verve and within a week I could feel the difference," one reads. "I'm now sleeping a good 6-7 hours a night uninterrupted, which hasn't happened in years (especially through the menopause etc)."
Another review calls it 'the best sleeping product I've tried', saying, "I've been taking Verve's Eclipse Duo for nearly a month and I can't believe how effective it is. I've struggled with my sleep for a while, but now I sleep right through until my alarm and feel ready to tackle the day."
A third person shared actual data that showed a real improvement in their sleep: "I sleep very badly, usually ranging a Garmin sleep score within the 70s," they wrote. "The first night of taking Eclipse I woke up with a 92/100 score... Strongly recommend."
In fact, the only negative comment so far is from someone how finds them so effective that they're "struggling to get up in the morning!"
Another sleep supplement that comes highly recommended by our colleague Kirsty is Ancient & Brave's True Magnesium+ Capsules, from £19.20. "Within a week I started to notice the difference," she says. "There has been a huge improvement in my sleep: I'm not waking as much, my sleep is deep, and I feel rested when I wake up."
Alternatively if you don't like swallowing large capsules, try Applied Nutrition x Coleen Rooney's Sleep Sachets, £25; we've tried them and love the raspberry, lavender and vanilla flavour.
* If you have any queries or concerns before taking a new dietary supplement, consult your doctor first.

Are you craving crisps all the time? This could be the reason why
What are electrolytes and do we really need them? If you follow health content on social media, chances are you've seen wellness influencers mixing up colourful electrolyte drinks promising better hydration, energy, and focus. But what exactly are electrolytes? These essential minerals, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride, play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting nerve and muscle function, and keeping your body operating at its best. During hot weather or intense workouts, we naturally lose electrolytes through sweat, and if they're not replenished, symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and muscle cramps can kick in. While drinking around two litres of water a day is a good general rule, adding an electrolyte supplement can offer an extra hydration boost. Here are three top buys to try now. 1 Humantra Trial Pack These fruity powdered formulas are sugar-free and contain eight individual servings. £15, 2 Phizz Daily Energy Range Refuel with these effervescent tablets, which each contain seven key electrolytes and 18 essential nutrients. £7.99, 3 Ancient + Brave True Hydration Sachets This coconut water–based formula is packed with natural electrolytes, including sodium, to help support energy, mental clarity, and recovery from training.

These tiny seeds have more omega-3 than salmon – here's the best way to eat them
Sprinkled on a warm bowl of porridge or blended into a fruity smoothie, chia seeds are small but nutritionally mighty. The tiny black or white seeds were a staple in ancient Aztec and Mayan diets and are now a stalwart 'superfood' touted by scientists and nutritionists alike. They've certainly captured the imagination of the wellness world, with endless recipes and videos dedicated to the 'powerhouse' seeds. In a quick scroll through my Instagram feed, I see them condensed into raspberry jam, incorporated into creamy chicken curry, and soaked overnight in milk and maple syrup for a speedy breakfast. But what makes them so appealing? 'They're a great source of plant-based omega-3 fats, complete protein, and fibre,' explains Nichola Ludlam-Raine, a specialist registered dietitian and author of How Not To Eat Ultra-Processed. 'They also provide important micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and iron.' So, should we all be eating chia seeds and should they be soaked, milled or eaten straight from the packet to reap the most benefits? Nutritional profile of chia seeds As Ludlam-Raine says, chia seeds contain omega-3 fats (specifically alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA) and are a complete source of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. They're also a great source of fibre and provide important micronutrients. On average, a tablespoon (15g) of chia seeds contains: 63 calories 5.1g fibre 3.6g protein 4.2g fat (0.5g saturates) 2400mg omega-3 (ALA) Why are chia seeds so popular? 1) Can support weight loss As they're rich in fibre and protein, chia seeds can help you feel fuller for longer, which may aid weight management, explains Jenna Hope, a registered nutritionist. In fact, in one 2017 study referenced in the Journal of Functional Foods, participants who incorporated chia seeds into their diet ate 25 per cent fewer calories each day. Fibre adds bulk to a meal and can slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, leading to a longer period of fullness after eating. Meanwhile protein takes longer to digest than other macronutrients, potentially reducing hunger and overall calorie intake. A portion of chia seeds contains more dietary fibre and protein than most grains, cereals, and some nuts. However, Hope says it's important to note that they will only help with weight management if incorporated into a healthy balanced diet. 2) Good for the gut The high fibre content in chia seeds 'supports better bowel movements and nourishes some of the beneficial bacteria in the gut,' Hope explains. Whilst they can be eaten dry or wet, soaking your chia seeds in water or milk makes them easier to digest and can improve the absorption of nutrients including fibre. When they're soaked, they absorb up to 10 times their weight in liquid, Ludlam-Raine says, and form a gel-like consistency as a result of the soluble fibre. In this form, they can support healthy digestion by softening stools and providing bulk, which helps them to pass more easily. This was demonstrated in a 2022 study on rats although more research is needed with human participants. 3) May support heart health 'Chia seeds can support heart health in several ways,' Ludlam-Raine says. 'They are rich in ALA, a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, which has been shown in studies to help lower inflammation, reduce blood triglyceride levels, and support healthy blood pressure – all of which are important factors for cardiovascular health.' One of these studies, published in Nutrition & Metabolism, found that giving ALA supplements to patients with metabolic syndrome decreased their inflammation, as the fatty acids neutralise free radicals in the body. These 'are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to ageing and chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease,' Ludlam-Raine explains. Surprisingly, chia seeds contain more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon, however they're different types. 'From a plant perspective, chia seeds are a good source of omega-3, but ALA is the inactive form of omega-3 whereas oily fish like salmon contain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which the body can use more efficiently,' Hope explains. 'Meanwhile, the body has to convert ALA into active forms and, in this process, you lose a lot of the omega-3.' If you're relying on chia seeds for these healthy fats, you'll need to consume them almost daily, whereas if you're relying on oily fish, two portions a week is ample, Hope says. 4) Packed with antioxidants The antioxidants in chia seeds include 'chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol – all of which have been linked to anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, and cardioprotective properties,' Ludlam-Raine says. A 2020 study in Amino Acids found these elements in chia seeds may contribute to improved skin health by protecting against ageing-related enzymes like elastase and hyaluronidase. More research is needed to confirm these benefits and understand the full impact chia seeds have on preventing ageing. Meanwhile, the list of kaempferol's potential health benefits range from reducing gut inflammation to potentially managing cardiovascular disorders, whilst chlorogenic acid can improve insulin resistance, potentially playing a part in staving off obesity and Type 2 diabetes. 5) May support women's hormone health Protein, fibre and healthy fats all play a role in hormone health. Whilst protein and fibre are important for metabolism regulation, the omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds may help to balance women's hormones. Various studies have found a link here. Research by Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences proved that omega-3 supplementation reduced testosterone levels in overweight women with PCOS, whilst their menstrual cycles became more regular. Another study in Clinical Therapeutics found that postmenopausal women who consumed omega-3 fatty acids had a significant reduction in triglyceride concentrations, a type of fat found in the blood. More research is needed to confirm the relationship between chia seeds and hormone health, however the evidence suggests their nutrients may be beneficial. How do chia seeds compare to other seeds? Hope compares the different ways in which chia seeds and flaxseeds are sold. Whilst chia seeds are often sold whole, flaxseeds tend to be ground which means 'their nutrients can be accessed much more easily'. Therefore, whilst chia seeds straight from the bag don't compare to ground flaxseeds, she does believe that milled or soaked chia seeds are the best. Chia seeds are higher in fibre, with around 10g per portion compared to 7g, and nearly 2.5 times more calcium. Meanwhile, flax seeds contain slightly more protein and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as copper and thiamine. Best ways to eat chia seeds There are seemingly endless ways to incorporate chia seeds into a meal. Both Ludlam-Raine and Hope agree they should be soaked to reap their full benefits. 'Just 10 to 15 minutes in water or milk allows them to swell and form a gel, making them easier to digest and helping to unlock their nutritional benefits,' Ludlam-Raine says. 'Similarly, if you grind them down, you're enabling the body to access nutrients much more easily because you've already done a lot of the pre-digestion process,' Hope adds. Heating chia seeds in porridge or in baking doesn't significantly reduce their nutritional value, Ludlam-Raine says. 'They're quite stable and versatile, which makes them easy to include in a wide range of meals.' Ludlam-Raine reiterates that, whilst you can eat them dry, 'it's essential to have them with plenty of fluid, as they can pose a choking risk when consumed in large quantities'. Plus, when they're soaked, you reap the full nutritional benefits. She enjoys mixing chia seeds into yogurt with fruit for a snack, incorporating them into her breakfast alongside a low-sugar granola, or adding them as a crunchy topping to her nut butter on toast. 'Provided you give them a little time, the chia seeds will soak and swell in the yogurt,' she explains. Are there any adverse effects of chia seeds? Digestive discomfort As they're very high in fibre, chia seeds can cause digestive problems if eaten in excess. 'If you're new to eating a high-fibre diet then you definitely want to incorporate them slowly,' Hope explains. 'Don't start eating lots of them overnight because you might experience adverse GI [gastrointestinal] symptoms like bloating, flatulence, changes to bowel movements, and some pain or discomfort.' She recommends those with GI symptoms or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to use them sparingly, although 'for the average individual who's relatively healthy and functioning well, they should be fine'. Possible blood thinning effect 'People on blood-thinning medications should check with their healthcare provider, as chia seeds contain omega-3s, which have a mild anticoagulant effect,' Ludlam-Raine advises. If you eat lots of them whilst taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications like aspirin, the blood-thinning properties of chia seeds may be enhanced, potentially leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Calorie content There are around 400 calories in 100g of chia seeds, so they should be eaten in moderation, Hope advises. How many chia seeds should you eat per day? Our experts agree that one to two tablespoons of chia seeds per day is sufficient to reap their health benefits. FAQs 1) Do chia seeds help reduce belly fat? Chia seeds are rich in protein and fibre, so can help you to feel fuller for longer, potentially reducing overall calorie intake. However, they will not directly help to reduce belly fat, and should instead be incorporated in a healthy balanced diet to aid weight loss. 2) Can chia seeds help clear your gut? Yes – they are a good source of soluble fibre. They absorb water, creating a gel-like substance that can help soften and bulk up stools, making them easier to pass. Whilst their impact on constipation hasn't been scientifically studied, our experts agree they can play a part in healthy digestion and clearing the gut. 3) Do chia seeds help with hair growth? 'They contain some key nutrients, like protein, that support healthy hair,' Hope says. Whilst direct research is limited, chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and nutrients like zinc, which are all important for hair health, strength, and growth.

Renfrewshire care home staff scoop prestigious awards at glitzy ceremony
Rashielee care home nurses won prizes at the Royal College of Nursing Scotland Awards 2025 in Edinburgh. Renfrewshire care home staff have won prestigious prizes at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland Awards 2025. Kirsty Cartin, manager at Rashielee care home in Erskine, scooped the top honour and was crowned nurse of the year at the ceremony, held in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. As well as winning the overall title, Kirsty was the winner of the clinical leadership award and Jennifer Carruthers, who also works at Rashielee, won the care home nurse award. On becoming RCN Scotland nurse of the year 2025, Kirsty said: 'I'm shocked and totally humbled. I'm a proud care home nurse and I want to promote nursing to everyone. It's an excellent career. 'So many times we hear the bad news but there is so much joy in nursing and I want to share that. Care home nursing often doesn't get recognised. 'We are a voice in the shadows and people don't appreciate what we do because they don't know but we are an integral part of community care. 'I want everyone to know what we do so we can all work better, especially given the shift into community care. The most special thing about my whole career tapestry as a nurse is the people, it's the people I met, the residents, their relatives and the staff. 'Getting to know people's stories and getting to be a part of that story. People think care homes are just for dying and they are not; they are places where people go to thrive and flourish.' Described by her colleagues as a 'champion of the value of care home nursing', Kirsty was nominated due to her compassionate leadership which has helped transform Rashielee into a care home where residents, families and staff fell valued and supported. Her person-centred approach has been praised for fostering a positive workplace culture, improving staff retention and strengthening the perception of care homes as vital spaces for high-quality, compassionate nursing. Jennifer, who works as deputy manager at the Erskine facility, was nominated as her work 'sets a benchmark for excellence, demonstrating the profound impact of compassionate leadership in care home nursing'. Her nomination demonstrated her person-centered care through integrating emotional intelligence with clinical skills and advocating for care home nursing as a holistic discipline. Helping Jennifer bag the award was that she has experience in both NHS and care homes. Jennifer identified the challenges of transitioning into care homes and has worked to ease the process for residents and families – implementing trust-building measures such as visiting prospective residents in their current settings, inviting them for informal visits, and encouraging personalised spaces to foster a sense of belonging. Colin Poolman, executive director of RCN Scotland, said: 'Huge congratulations to Kirsty on her well-deserved award. Too often the role of nursing in social care is overlooked. 'Here, the spotlight is shining on care home nursing and Kirsty's commitment to raising the standards of care for her residents and to developing and supporting her team. 'The judges were inspired by her drive to ensure that her staff always feel valued and supported for the excellent nursing staff they are. Her nomination stood out as exemplifying the very best of nursing in Scotland and we are proud to call Kirsty our nurse of the year.'
