Strong evidence, strong dose
For everyone, adults.
How we verify

The brand submits the formula. We read the supplement facts panel and weigh dose, form and synergy against the clinical evidence. Labs test. IngredientMD verifies. The fee pays for review time, never for the outcome.

Supplement Facts panel for Sleep Gummy
  1. 01
    We read the label.

    The panel on the left is the one we evaluated, line by line.

  2. 02
    Every active, separately.

    All 5 actives checked against the clinical evidence: dose, form, and what the research actually shows.

  3. 03
    Then the formula as a whole.

    Doses, ratios, and how the ingredients work together. That assessment is the verdict above: "Strong evidence, strong dose".

  4. 04
    Earned, not bought.

    The verdict is public and identical whether or not a brand pays. A formula that does not clear the bar gets nothing.

What this formula earned

Every one of these is a fact the engine could ground.

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.

  • Studied in people18 human studies on Melatonin back this formula, each one cited.
  • A mechanism that is settledHow Melatonin and L-Theanine work is settled pharmacology.
  • Studied together, not just separatelyMelatonin and L-Theanine have been studied together, not only separately.
  • Recent work on the recordThe most recent study on this record was published in 2024.
  • Serving amount inside the studied rangeEach serving carries 100 mg of L-Theanine, inside the range the published research used.
  • A stated daily maintenance amountMelatonin is here at a daily maintenance amount, which is what a daily supplement is for.
  • Why this formatIt is a gummy, which is the format people actually keep taking, and adherence decides whether anything else matters.
  • The exact form, describedThe label names its forms exactly: Immediate-release melatonin, L-theanine, Chamomile flower, whole or cut. The record says what each one is and what it suits.
  • Full label disclosureEvery ingredient on this label carries its own declared amount.
  • Where it comes from and how it is madeMelatonin is made by synthetic.
  • Positions this formula already qualifies forThis formula already qualifies for positions beyond the one it is sold into, on the evidence it carries.

How much it moves the numbers

What the trials show

What the trials show about timing.

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.

  • Melatoninwithin about 40 minutes of a single doseMeasured within a day

    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.

    Promising
  • L-Theaninewithin about 45 to 50 minutes of a single doseMeasured within a day

    Two double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trials measured attention at a fixed interval after one oral dose. In 24 overnight sleep-deprived adults aged 20 to 25, a 200 mg dose tested 45 minutes post-dose reduced false alarms on a traffic-scene recognition task and raised target-distractor discriminability. In 27 healthy young adults tested 50 minutes post-dose, 400 mg shortened the parietal P3b event-related potential latency against placebo, with no significant change at 100 or 200 mg. Both trials measured task and electrophysiological markers, not a subjective feeling.

General timing

How each ingredient usually behaves over time.

Five ingredients, from each one's own page.

  • MelatoninAbout 30 to 60 minutes

    Drowsiness usually arrives 30 to 60 minutes after a dose. The body-clock shift builds over a few nights of taking it at the same hour.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • L-TheanineThirty to sixty minutes

    For most people, with blood levels peaking inside the first hour. Nothing accumulates, so each dose stands on its own.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Chamomile Extract (flower)

    A mild settling usually lands within an hour of a dose. Sleep and daytime calm keep building over two to four weeks of daily use.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Passionflower Extract (aerial parts)About 30 to 60 minutes

    Often 30 to 60 minutes for the settled feeling after a dose. Calm that holds across a whole day builds over about two weeks of taking it daily.

    Its own page, the plain answer on timing

  • Lemon Balm Extract (aerial parts)Within one to three hours

    Calm and alertness ratings have moved within one to three hours of a single dose. Sleep and week-to-week steadiness are a two to four week story on daily use.

Chemical form

The same ingredient, carried differently.

What each form is, and where it fits in a formula. Measured findings carry the study that reported them.

  • L-theanine

    The single L-enantiomer as a free amino acid, the form found in tea leaf and the form used in essentially all human trials.

Format

Gummy

It is a gummy, which is the format people actually keep taking, and adherence decides whether anything else matters.
