What is in Melatonin Plus?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valerian Root Extract | 150 mg | 54% of 647 products listing valerian give more (median 200 mg). | |
| Hops Flower Extract | 50 mg | 60% of 342 products listing hops give more (median 75 mg). | |
| Melatonin | 10 mg | Higher than 87% of 1,557 products listing melatonin (median 3 mg). | |
| L-Tryptophan | 5 mg | 97% of 605 products listing tryptophan give more (median 123 mg). | |
| L-Theanine | 5 mg | over 99% of 1,602 products listing theanine give more (median 100 mg). |

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:
- 97% of the 605 products that print an amount of tryptophan list more than its 5 mg of L-tryptophan (filed by NIH under tryptophan) (median 123 mg).
- over 99% of the 1,602 products that print an amount of theanine list more than its 5 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.
