Melatonin Complex by SuperiorLabs lists 5 ingredients, 5 with an amount per serving of 1 vegetarian capsule, such as 50 mg of GABA, 50 mg of L-theanine, 50 mg of L-tryptophan and 50 mg of magnesium citrate. Its current label entered the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database on June 24, 2020.
What is in Melatonin Complex?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 vegetarian capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| GABA | 50 mg | 77% of 744 products listing GABA give more (median 100 mg). | |
| L-Theanine | 50 mg | 79% of 1,602 products listing theanine give more (median 100 mg). | |
| L-Tryptophan | 50 mg | 76% of 605 products listing tryptophan give more (median 123 mg). | |
| Magnesium Citrate | 50 mg | 12%* | The label names the compound (Magnesium Citrate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the magnesium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
| Melatonin | 5 mg | Higher than 64% of 1,557 products listing melatonin (median 3 mg). |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 79% of the 1,602 products that print an amount of theanine list more than its 50 mg of L-theanine (filed by NIH under theanine) (median 100 mg).
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
