P.M. Formula
P.M. Formula from Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions is a sleep and recovery supplement featuring 6 ingredients, including Valerian extract (200mg), L-Theanine (50mg), and Melatonin (300mcg). The product received an N+ Score of 53, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. While the label transparency is 100%, research suggests that the L-Theanine dosage at 50mg is underdosed for typical sleep support, and Calcium is also present at a low amount of 52mg. This product may be considered by individuals seeking a basic combination of botanicals and melatonin for occasional sleep support, but it lacks clinically studied dosages for several key components.
