For For everyone, adults. Melatonin is the lead active here, studied most for body clock alignment. 18 human studies on Melatonin back this formula, each one cited. Each serving carries 3 mg of Melatonin, inside the range the published research used. Who it fits: for everyone, adults.
Verified by IngredientMDThe panel on the left is the one we evaluated, line by line.
All 7 actives checked against the clinical evidence: dose, form, and what the research actually shows.
Doses, ratios, and how the ingredients work together. That assessment is the verdict above: "Strong evidence, strong dose".
The verdict is public and identical whether or not a brand pays. A formula that does not clear the bar gets nothing.
Read by the engine against 47,000+ clinical trials and 59,000+ interaction records. No individual reviewer is named or implied.
Cross-checked against 640 documented interactions for these actives.
Each line below was derived from this formula's own record at the time of verification. Nothing here was written by the brand, and nothing can be added that the evidence does not carry.
Where a trial measured an actual number, we show it next to the claim. It is the average across the trials, never a promise about one person.
About 7 minutes shorter time to fall asleep, on average across the trials.
Read at the source. The magnitude sits beside the same trial the claim already cites. It describes what the trials measured, never what any one person will feel.
Time-to-effect windows the engine read from the trial record. Each is a window a named study measured, cited and dated, never written by the brand.
In a crossover pharmacokinetic study, 12 healthy male volunteers received 10 mg of oral melatonin and 10 mg intravenously on separate days. Oral melatonin reached mean peak plasma concentration 40.8 minutes after ingestion, with a mean elimination half-life of 53.7 minutes and absolute bioavailability of about 3 percent. A separate randomised double-blind crossover trial in 18 healthy adults aged 18 to 65 measured time to peak concentration of 0.6 hours for 4 mg immediate-release melatonin and 1.56 hours for a 4 mg extended-release form. Both studies measured blood concentration, not sleep. The second was run by employees of Pharmavite, a supplement manufacturer.

Magnesium bound to citric acid, and soluble in water.
In a 24-week randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 164 overweight and slightly obese adults (mean age 63.2 years, 63.4 per cent women) at 450 mg elemental magnesium daily, magnesium citrate raised plasma magnesium by 0.04 mmol/L (95 per cent CI 0.02 to 0.06) and 24-hour urinary magnesium by 3.12 mmol/24 h (95 per cent CI 2.23 to 4.01) against placebo, a larger urinary rise than oxide or sulfate. On the primary outcome, carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity, and on blood pressure, no formulation differed from placebo at 24 weeks. In an 8-week randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 76 analysed calcium stone formers with idiopathic hyperoxaluria, magnesium citrate 120 mg three times daily lowered 24-hour urinary oxalate by 16.99 (SD 18.02) and reduced the calcium oxalate supersaturation index against placebo (p = 0.011 and p = 0.010).
