where it started
The glass was already waiting.
Dōpo started on a family vacation. Wine had stopped feeling like a useful way for our mom to wind down, and she wanted something naturally sourced that felt right. So we made her a nightly mix. The next evening, her glass was already lined up waiting for us. That repeated ritual became the beginning of Dōpo.
This is the founders' account of where Dōpo began. It is not a customer testimonial or a claim about the finished drink.
planned formula
Every dose, out front.
measured foundation
Glycine
The 3 g amino-acid foundation, chosen because that exact amount appears in small human sleep studies.
3 g
3 g
busy-mind layer
L-theanine
The non-melatonin amino-acid layer aimed at the mentally-on feeling that can follow you into the evening.
200 mg
200 mg
mineral layer
Magnesium glycinate
The mineral layer, kept to one clear 200 mg amount instead of disappearing inside a proprietary blend.
200 mg
200 mg
botanical close
Lemon balm
The evening botanical that gives the final pour a recognizable closing cue.
300 mg
300 mg
how they work together
The logic is complementary, not additive: glycine sets the measured foundation, L-theanine addresses the busy-mind moment, magnesium glycinate adds the mineral layer, and lemon balm gives the final pour an evening cue.
Putting them in one drink makes the sequence easier to repeat at the same point each night. Each ingredient has its own research history, but the exact finished blend has not completed its own clinical trial. Dōpo does not claim proven synergy or a guaranteed sleep outcome.
This is the planned launch formula, not a claim that the finished drink has proven a clinical outcome. If a dose changes before production, the label, homepage, and this fact sheet change with it.
