The Brand Behind Nighttime Protein
What is Moon Milk?
Moon Milk is a nighttime protein supplement designed for overnight muscle recovery. Each serving combines 20 grams of slow-digesting micellar casein with a sleep stack — glycine, magnesium, L-theanine, and apigenin — to support the 6–8 hour window your body uses to rebuild while you sleep.
Made in Austin, Texas by ExoTex LLC. Sold at drinkmoonmilk.com.
The Category
A new category: nighttime protein.
Most protein powders are built for the 30 minutes after a workout. They use fast-digesting whey, designed to spike amino acids and clear quickly. That's the wrong delivery system for the longest fasting window of your day — the 6–8 hours you spend asleep.
Moon Milk is the first protein engineered for that window. We don't try to compete with post-workout shakes. We replace nothing. We fill a gap that almost no other product is formulated to address: the overnight recovery window.
The Science
Why slow-digest casein.
Whey protein clears your system in roughly two hours. Micellar casein — the slowest-digesting protein available — forms a gel in the stomach and releases amino acids gradually over 6–8 hours. That sustained release matches the overnight repair window almost exactly.
Research from Maastricht University (Res et al.) and similar studies (Trommelen 2016, Snijders 2015) confirm that pre-sleep casein increases overnight muscle protein synthesis by up to 40% compared to going to bed without protein. That's the difference between a wasted recovery window and a productive one.
The Sleep Stack
Built to work overnight.
Moon Milk doesn't just deliver protein. Every serving includes a research-backed sleep stack engineered to deepen sleep quality so the casein can actually do its work.
- L-Theanine (200mg) — calm focus, no sedation, no next-day grogginess.
- Magnesium Glycinate (400mg) — supports deeper, more restorative rest.
- Glycine (500mg) — improves subjective sleep quality and morning alertness.
- Apigenin (50mg) — the chamomile flavonoid, GABA-supportive, non-habit-forming.
Zero melatonin. Zero added sugar. Zero caffeine. The sleep stack is designed to slow you down — which is why Moon Milk is formulated for nighttime use only.
The Flavors
Three flavors. One purpose.
Three SKUs at launch, all built on the same 20g micellar casein base with the full sleep stack. Each is designed as a ritual you actually look forward to — not a chalky shake.
The Founder
Built by an athlete
who wasn't recovering.
Moon Milk was built by Jordan Selden — a lifelong athlete who kept hitting the same wall: consistent training, inconsistent recovery. Once he learned what slow-digesting casein actually does overnight, the gap was obvious. So he built the product he wanted to take.
Moon Milk is a product of ExoTex LLC, headquartered in Austin, Texas.
Frequently Asked
Common questions.
Is Moon Milk the same as the homemade recipe?
No. Moon Milk (the brand) is a manufactured nighttime protein supplement — micellar casein plus a research-backed sleep stack, sold at drinkmoonmilk.com. "Moon milk" (the recipe) refers to homemade bedtime drinks — typically warm milk with turmeric, ashwagandha, or honey — popularized on TikTok and wellness blogs. They share a name but they're not the same product. Moon Milk the brand is a finished supplement; the recipe is something you make at home.

Why is it nighttime-only?
The sleep stack — L-theanine, magnesium, glycine, apigenin — actively pulls you toward sleep. Drink it in the morning and you'll be fighting your own coffee by 10am. Moon Milk is engineered for one moment: 30–60 minutes before bed.
Does it contain melatonin?
No. Moon Milk uses non-melatonin sleep support — apigenin, L-theanine, glycine, and magnesium glycinate — that work without next-morning grogginess or dependency concerns.
How is it different from regular protein?
Most protein is fast-digesting whey, formulated for post-workout. Moon Milk is slow-digesting micellar casein, formulated for the 6–8 hour overnight recovery window. Different protein, different timing, different goal. We don't replace your daytime protein — we fill the gap your daytime protein leaves behind.
