SucraloseSweetener
Dose context matters. As a trace excipient in a tablet coating or capsule, the amount is minimal and not a meaningful concern. The evidence below applies to the gram-level intakes typical of sweetened protein powders, pre-workouts, and drink mixes: a 2022 human trial (Suez et al., Cell) showed sucralose disrupts gut bacteria and worsens blood sugar control in healthy adults, and a 2023 study (Schiffman et al.) found that sucralose-6-acetate — a compound formed when sucralose is digested — was genotoxic to human cells in vitro. It remains an artificial sweetener with no nutritional purpose.
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
MannitolSweetener
A FODMAP sugar alcohol that can cause GI distress (bloating, gas, diarrhea) at higher doses. Supplement amounts are typically small, but individuals with IBS or sugar alcohol sensitivity may react even at low doses.
DextroseSweetener
A simple glucose sugar used as a bulking agent, sweetener, and tablet diluent
Natural FlavorsFlavor
Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
Silicon DioxideAnti-caking
Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping
Fruit Juice (unspecified)Colorant
Juice or juice concentrate used primarily for natural color and flavor in gummies
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
How to Take It
Best taken in the evening
Take 30–60 minutes before bed. It's a circadian signal, not a daytime supplement.
With or without food
On the label
Adults: Chew 1-2 tablets daily at or before bedtime. For jet lag: Take at bedtime after darkness has fallen, while travelling, and at destination, until adapted to the new daily pattern. Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after taking melatonin. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 1 month. Tablet colour variations may occur. This is a normal result of using natural source ingredients
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
