Sleep Gummies verdict
The melatonin is dosed fine (3mg is the sweet spot — more isn't better), but the L-theanine and botanicals are token amounts for flavor and label copy. It works because of the melatonin, which costs cents in bulk. Fine as a convenience, overpriced per dose.
Dream Powder verdict
A tasty bedtime cocoa with real ingredients — the theanine and melatonin are fully dosed, but the magnesium is a fifth of the studied amount and the apigenin, while at its label dose, has thin human evidence. You're paying for the cocoa experience and the marketing; the active parts cost a fraction in bulk.
