Sleep and stress support supplements are used to help with relaxation and occasional sleeplessness, alongside good sleep habits.† This department covers melatonin, magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, chamomile, valerian, lavender and calming blends in capsules, gummies, teas and powders.
What to look for on the label
Check the amount per serving: melatonin products range from under 1 mg to 10 mg or more, and many people start with a low amount. Note whether a product is a single ingredient or a blend, since blends may combine several herbs with melatonin. Gummies can contain added sugars. Read the other ingredients for allergens and the directions for timing.
Good to know
Melatonin and calming herbs can cause drowsiness, so don't drive after taking them or combine them with alcohol or sedating medications. Ask a pediatrician before giving melatonin to a child, and keep gummies out of reach. If poor sleep lasts for weeks, talk to your doctor.
