Melatonin Spearmint Flavor
Dr. Mercola's Melatonin Spearmint Flavor is categorized as an 'Other Combinations' supplement, typically used for sleep and recovery. It received an N+ Score of 58, resulting in an 'F' grade, placing it in the average tier. The product contains Vitamin B6 at 3mg, which is noted as a clinical dose. However, Niacin is included but considered underdosed, and the formula also features proprietary blends (Neuro Blend 31.5mg, Extract Blend 46mg) which reduce label transparency, impacting the overall assessment. With a formula completeness score of 0%, it suggests a lack of a comprehensive approach to sleep support beyond its primary ingredients. This product may appeal to those looking for a basic melatonin-containing supplement with some added B vitamins.
