"I tested AGZ's chocolate and mint flavors, which come with a frother, and you can blend the powder with water or milk, either warm or cold (although I think it tastes the best with milk, like a frothy hot cocoa). The drink doesn't taste overly sweet and has a nice, rich chocolate taste. The mix is melatonin-free, instead with adaptogens, herbs, and minerals, including magnesium, vitamin B6, L-theanine, ashwagandha, and calming herbs."
"Rebalance Dream Sleep Mints (Melatonin-Free; 31-Pack) for $46: These melatonin-free mints are designed to slowly dissolve, with natural sleep-inducing ingredients like L-theanine, L-tryptophan, GABA, and slow-release Reishi mushroom. You can take up to three lozenges every night, and it took me three to feel any sort of calming effects. I like the idea of a slow-melting mint alternative, but I'm currently testing the version with melatonin to see how it stacks up against the melatonin-free version."
"Natrol Melatonin Gummies for $9: These have 10 milligrams of melatonin, which is about triple the recommended dosage, and they don't have any of the other sleep-boosting ingredients found often in other sleep gummies. The strawberry flavor has sort of a grainy mouthfeel. But, they are cheap and worked effectively within half an hour. Kona Sea Salt Deep Ocean Magnesium Water Drops for $12: Kona's line of sleep and relaxation products use ocean magnesium from Hawaii to support improved sleep and muscle relaxation."
Several over-the-counter sleep aids produced varied results. AGZ Nightly Sleep Support is a melatonin-free powder with magnesium, vitamin B6, L-theanine, ashwagandha, and calming herbs; it tasted like a rich chocolate drink and produced a gentle calming effect without strong sleepiness. Rebalance Dream Sleep Mints use L-theanine, L-tryptophan, GABA, and slow-release Reishi; the slow-dissolving lozenges required three to produce noticeable calming effects. Natrol Melatonin Gummies contain 10 mg melatonin, have a grainy strawberry mouthfeel, are inexpensive, and worked within about 30 minutes. Kona Sea Salt magnesium drops aim to support sleep and muscle relaxation using ocean magnesium.
