The Difference
Why No Melatonin?
Melatonin is prescription-only in Australia for adults under 55 — for good reason. It causes morning grogginess, disrupts natural hormone production, and creates dependency. CORTEX DESCENT uses adaptogens and minerals to initiate sleep naturally. Your body does the work. You wake up sharp, not sedated.
