The gentle way to catch some zZZs
Piacio® Pistachio Extract
Most people have an occasional sleepless night or every so often take a long time to fall asleep. For most, a light and natural sleeping aid is already sufficient to induce a restful slumber. Among these are products made from valerian root, melissa or lavender as well as lightly dosed melatonin supplements. Piacio® combines the best of these worlds. The extract contains 1% melatonin, that naturally occurs in the pistachio.
Why Piacio®?
Piacio® is extracted from high-quality pistachios with state-of-the art extraction methods. By choosing the right fruit and time to harvest combined with the advanced extraction method, we are able to ensure a significantly higher concentration of melatonin than achieved with other natural extracts.
The natural source ensures a mellow effect and minimizes the risk of feeling drowsy the next morning which often comes with sleep aids based on synthetic ingredients.
As a fine powder, piacio® has a slightly nutty aroma and free of chemicals or synthetic ingredients. It is water soluble and equally suitable for soothing and tasty bites, sips or drops.

Melatonin regulates our Sleep
Melatonin is the hormone that signals our body that it is time to get some shut-eye. It is normally released by our pineal gland when the light gets dim, causing a natural rise of melatonin levels during the night. However, exposure to lights and screens, stress, irregular sleeping patterns or certain medications can disrupt this process. This is where a gentle natural dose of melatonin can help – and Piacio® plant-based melatonin is just that. It takes effect within 30 minutes and can be easily integrated into a bedtime routine to support a night of quality sleep.
