Velara Sleep & Sweat Relief
A daily supplement designed to combat sleep disruptions caused by hormonal changes. Velara works with your body's natural sleep signals to improve quality of sleep, reduce night sweats, and increase daytime energy.*
Why Velara works when nothing else did
Menopause breaks 3 systems in your brain. Velara is the only formula designed to fix all three — without hormones, melatonin, or sedatives.
Restores your OFF switch
GABA and L-Theanine directly activate the calming signal your brain lost — the same pathway HRT targets, without the hormones.
Stops the 3am stress bomb
Ashwagandha KSM-66 reduces cortisol by up to 30%. No more bolt-awake panic at 3am.
Fixes your thermostat
Black Cohosh targets the part of your brain that controls temperature. Night sweats reduce. Sheets stay dry.
Clears the brain fog
When you sleep deeply, your brain repairs. The fog lifts. Words come back. You feel like yourself again.
Calms the mood swings
Chamomile and Lemon Balm soothe the nervous system. Less irritability. More patience. More you.
No melatonin. On purpose.
Melatonin makes you groggy and stops working. Velara works with your brain's own signals — not against them.
How it works
3 broken systems. 7 ingredients. 2 capsules before bed. That's it.
7 ingredients. Every dose backed by research.
Formulated by Dr. Rebecca Hartwell, MD — a board-certified OB-GYN who spent 4 months getting every dose right. No fairy-dusting. No label fillers.
Your brain's primary calming signal. HRT activates this indirectly through hormones. Velara delivers GABA directly. Same target. No hormones.
Amplifies GABA activity and promotes alpha brain waves — the state that transitions naturally into deep sleep.
Stops your body from breaking down GABA too fast. This is why you stay asleep — not just fall asleep.
Clinically shown to reduce cortisol by up to 30%. That 3am stress bomb that jolts you awake? This defuses it.
Calms the nervous system through the same brain receptors as anti-anxiety medication — without the sedation.
Goes straight to the hypothalamus — the part of your brain that controls temperature. This is the ingredient that stops the night sweats.
The most bioavailable form. Releases the clenched jaw, the rigid shoulders, the restless legs. The difference between "my brain is calm" and "my whole body is calm."
Sleep isn't the only thing menopause took.
Add Moisture & Flora Restore to fix dryness, stop UTIs, and restore intimacy — all in one protocol with Sleep & Sweat Relief.

What to expect
Better sleep that builds over time. Here's what Dr. Hartwell's patients typically experience.
GABA levels begin rebuilding. Many women notice it's easier to relax before bed. The bedtime anxiety softens. You fall asleep a little faster.
The cortisol bomb gets quieter. You still might wake — but at 4:30 instead of 3am. And you fall back asleep. Night sweats start reducing.
This is the week most women call it. 6-7 hours uninterrupted. Dry sheets. No 3am panic. You wake up and it's morning — and you forgot what it felt like.
The brain fog lifts. The mood stabilizes. The energy returns. Sleep was the keystone — and everything built on top of it comes back too.
What women are saying
"I haven't slept through the night in 3 years. Every single night — 3am, staring at the ceiling. After 2 weeks on Velara, I slept 7 hours straight. I cried that morning. I forgot what it felt like to actually rest."
"I was on HRT for 11 months. The bleeding, the bloating, the fear. When I learned GABA was the real reason hormones helped me sleep, I switched. Sleeping BETTER on Velara than I ever did on progesterone. Zero side effects."
"The night sweats were destroying my marriage. My husband moved to the guest room. Three weeks on Velara — sweats reduced by 80%. He's back in our bed. That's all that matters."
"I was spending $90/month on 5 supplements. Nothing worked together. Velara replaced all of them for $40 — and it actually works. Brain fog gone by week 3."

Frequently asked questions
Dr. Rebecca Hartwell is a board-certified OB-GYN with 22 years of clinical practice. After experiencing menopause herself, she discovered that HRT's sleep benefit comes from GABA activation — not hormones. When she couldn't find a formula that addressed this properly, she built Velara herself. She takes it every night.
Menopause breaks 3 systems: your brain's OFF switch (GABA collapse), your stress alarm (cortisol spikes at 3am), and your thermostat (night sweats). Velara targets all three with 7 clinically dosed ingredients — unlike melatonin which only affects sleep timing.
Melatonin only tells your body what time to sleep. But during menopause, timing isn't the problem — your brain can't calm down because GABA is depleted. Melatonin also causes grogginess and stops working over time. Velara restores the actual sleep signal.
Most women notice softer bedtime anxiety in Week 1. By Week 2, the 3am wake-ups shift later. By Week 3-4, most sleep 6-7 hours uninterrupted. We recommend at least 30 days for the full effect.
Velara is hormone-free and non-sedative. Many women use it alongside HRT, and some have transitioned off HRT entirely with their doctor's guidance. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
Take 2 capsules with water 30-60 minutes before bedtime. Use consistently each night for best results. Velara is non-habit-forming and can be stopped at any time.
