Melatonin 5 mg
Natrol Melatonin 5 mg is a sleep and recovery supplement primarily featuring 5.000mg of Melatonin, commonly used to support sleep cycles. This product contains only three ingredients, with Vitamin B6 at a clinically relevant dosage of 10.000mg, which research suggests may contribute to nervous system function. However, the Calcium content (63.000mg) is underdosed, which may not provide significant benefits for its intended purpose. The product received an N+ Score of 60, earning a 'D' grade, indicating an average formulation with limited ingredient adequacy (50%) and formula completeness (25%). While the label transparency is excellent at 100%, the overall simplicity of the formula and the underdosed calcium suggest a very focused, but not comprehensive, approach to sleep support. This product is best suited for individuals primarily seeking a straightforward melatonin supplement with added Vitamin B6.
