3 a.m. Melatonin Lavender Vanilla
This product is a sleep and recovery supplement, formulated with two active ingredients: L-Theanine at 50mg and Melatonin at 3mg. Research suggests L-Theanine may support relaxation, while melatonin is commonly used to aid sleep. The product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average rating for quality and efficacy. A notable weakness is the L-Theanine dosage, which at 50mg, is considered underdosed based on current research for typical efficacy. With only two ingredients, the formula completeness score is low, though label transparency is excellent. This product might be considered by individuals seeking a basic, low-dose sleep aid.
