Why It Works
Benefits
FANCL Sleep & Fatigue Care delivers dual-action support through carefully selected functional ingredients.

In clinical studies, participants taking L-Ornithine HCl for 5 weeks showed significant improvement in sleep duration scores compared to placebo. This supports better rest without drowsiness the next day.

Crocin, derived from gardenia fruit, has been reported to reduce fatigue upon waking. In a randomized, double-blind crossover study with adults aged 35-60, participants taking 7.5mg of crocin for 2 weeks showed improved fatigue recovery scores compared to control group.
Clinically ValidatedSupports Better Morning Awakening
The combination of improved sleep quality and reduced fatigue helps support a more refreshed feeling upon waking. L-Ornithine supports better mood upon awakening, helping you start your day with more energy and clarity.
