The Portal Origin Story
Sleep

of Life
In the relentless pursuit of more, we experienced firsthand the toll of neglecting sleep and recovery, teetering on the edge of physical and mental burnout.
A personal quest for the true foundation of performance led us to a neglected spectrum: sleep and recovery. Embracing the transformative power of sleep, we’ve run marathons, summited mountains, and worked 18 hour days for months on end building businesses.
We're not superhuman, but we are motivated by our own curiosity and passion for pushing our bodies and minds to their edges.
Derived from personal need and in search of a solution, Portal was born. At Portal, we see rest not as an end in itself, but as a foundation for movement, productivity, and living life to the fullest.
Our journey began with a shared struggle: the relentless demands of modern life were taking a toll on our sleep. Late nights and early mornings became the norm as we juggled careers, family, and personal aspirations.
We wore our sleep deprivation as a badge of honor,
convinced that sacrificing rest was the price of success. However, the cracks started to show. Physical and mental burnout, diminished performance, and a constant feeling of being “off” became all too common.
In search of a solution, we dove deep into the science of sleep. Inspired by the insights of renowned neuroscientists and sleep experts like Dr. Andrew Huberman, we began to understand that sleep is not a luxury but a necessity. It’s the foundation upon which all aspects of our health and well-being are built.
Yet, we found that the market was flooded with ineffective and often harmful sleep aids. We wanted something better—something that aligned with our commitment to natural, science-backed health solutions.
Thus, Portal was born. We set out to create a product that would enhance the quality of sleep, making every minute count. Our formulation, inspired by Dr. Huberman’s sleep protocol, combines Magnesium Glycinate, Glycine, L-Theanine, and Apigenin—each ingredient chosen for its clinically-proven benefits in promoting restful, restorative sleep.
Creating Portal wasn’t just about addressing our sleep issues—it was about empowering others to reclaim their nights and, by extension, their days. We believe that better days start with better nights.
Sleep isn’t just downtime; it’s a vital process that rejuvenates the body, sharpens the mind, and fuels the spirit.
By prioritizing sleep, we’re not just resting; we’re preparing ourselves to move, to achieve, and to live life fully. We understand that for the most ambitious people, life demands a lot. While we never encourage people to sleep less, sometimes it’s not an option.
For those who can’t afford to get a full night’s sleep, we want to help them make the most out of the sleep they can get. We recognize how important sleep is for every single facet of health, and our goal is to ensure that even limited sleep is deeply restorative and maximally beneficial.
At Portal, our mission is to transform how you think about and experience sleep. We are dedicated to helping you unlock your peak performance, elevate your health, and embrace each day with energy and enthusiasm.
Because we believe that when you sleep well, you live well.
Join us on this journey to make sleep the best part of your day, so you can make the most of every moment.
