The 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.
