Solgar Melatonin Review: Nuggets, Tablets and Triple Action Sleep

Solgar's 5 mg Melatonin Nuggets are the buy: 120 count, $9.07 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 7.6 cents a night, from a supplement house with a longer shelf record than almost any brand in this category. The line is four listings: the 5 mg nuggets, a 10 mg vegan tablet, and Triple Action Sleep tri-layer tablets in 60 and 90 counts whose titles do not state the melatonin amount. This review sorts them, names the value, and puts Nature Made and NOW on the same table at 5 mg.

SmartyPants Sleep Gummies Review (2026): Adult and Kids, Sorted

SmartyPants sells three sleep gummies, and the adult one is worth buying if you want melatonin, magnesium and L-theanine in a clean-label gummy and are willing to read the amount off the bottle: the Adult Fast-Acting Sleep Gummies are $19.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), with the melatonin amount and count not stated in the title. The kids line is better specified, with a stated 0.5 mg gummy and a zero-melatonin gummy, and this review covers all three against OLLY, Natural Vitality and Nature Made.

Ritual Melatonin Review (2026): 20 Capsules for $27.99

Ritual Melatonin is a labeled 5 mg capsule sold 20 to a pack for $27.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 10, 2026), about $1.40 a night. That is the most expensive 5 mg capsule from any brand on this site, and the title states nothing beyond the amount and the count. Buy it if the Ritual brand is the point or you want a 20-night trial; buy NOW, Nature's Bounty, Thorne or Pure Encapsulations if the melatonin is.

Pure Encapsulations Melatonin Review: Is the Premium Worth It?

Pure Encapsulations melatonin is worth buying if a practitioner sent you to it, and the capsule to get is the 0.5 mg, 60 count, $12.50 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 21 cents a night. The line is short and deliberate: 0.5 mg and 3 mg capsules in 60 and 180 counts, a 20 mg capsule, a sustained-release capsule and a liquid. It is also among the most expensive melatonin per night from a recognized brand in our catalog, and this review says exactly where that premium buys something and where Life Extension and Thorne do the same job for less.

Comparison

OLLY vs ZzzQuil Sleep (2026): Two Gummies, Two Milligram Counts, One Missing Number

The two best-known sleep gummies in the aisle differ by a milligram, a companion ingredient and a piece of information one of them does not publish. OLLY Sleep Support states 3 mg of melatonin with L-theanine per gummy, 70 count, at $16.35 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 23 cents a gummy. ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs states 2 mg with chamomile and lavender at $12.99, but its listing title does not state a count, so no cost per night can be calculated. OLLY wins on published facts; Pure Zzzs wins if you want the smaller amount.

Comparison

OLLY vs Natrol Melatonin (2026): The Gummy or the Fast Dissolve

OLLY and Natrol are the two names most people actually choose between, and they are not really the same kind of product. OLLY Sleep is a 3 mg gummy with L-theanine, 70 count, $16.35 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026). Natrol Melatonin 5 mg Fast Dissolve is a strawberry tablet that dissolves on the tongue, 90 count, $8.96. One is a nightly treat that costs about 23 cents a gummy; the other is the cheapest credible way to take melatonin at all, at about 10 cents a tablet. This page puts both on one table, argues five decision axes, and ends with a verdict per buyer type.

Review

OLLY Sleep Gummies, Reviewed: Which Strength to Buy

OLLY Sleep is worth buying if a gummy is the format you will actually take, and the one to get is the original: 3 mg melatonin with L-theanine, 70 count for $16.35 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 23 cents per gummy. The Extra Strength 5 mg and Maximum Strength 10 mg cost the same per gummy and are not where anyone should start. This review sorts the whole line, including the fast-dissolves and softgels, and says where Natrol and ZzzQuil do the gummy job for less.

OLLY Kids Sleep Review: The 0.5 mg Gummy, Verified Against the Label and the Field

OLLY Kids Sleep states 0.5 mg melatonin and L-theanine per raspberry gummy, 50 count, $12.88 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 26 cents a night. It is the lowest amount in a mainstream kids gummy and the most complete kids title on the shelf, which is why it holds the 0.5 mg slot on every kids page here. This review covers what the label states and does not, the 70 count and the Melatonin Free sibling, where Zarbee's, SmartyPants and Natrol beat it, and the AAP rules that apply to every jar. A pediatrician decides.

Nutricost Melatonin Review (2026): 240-Count Bottles, Sorted

Nutricost is worth buying if you take melatonin nightly and want a plain, gluten-free, non-GMO tablet in an eight-month bottle. The one to get is the 5 mg tablet, 240 count for $9.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 4.2 cents a night. The line runs from 1 mg gummies to 20 mg capsules, nearly all in 240-count bottles, and this review says which amounts make sense and where Nature Made and NOW beat it.

NOW Melatonin Review: The Capsule Line, Sorted by Amount

NOW is the brand to buy if you want melatonin in a plain capsule from a manufacturer with a long-published quality program, and the one to get is Melatonin 3 mg, 180 veg capsules for $9.17 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 5 cents a night. The line runs from a 1 mg tablet with co-factor nutrients to the highest amount any Tier A brand sells, 20 mg, with a sustained-release tablet, a liquid, lozenges and a 3-in-1 blend in between. This review sorts it and says where Nature Made and Pure Encapsulations fit.

Neuro Sleep Review (2026): The Meltaway Mints, the Extra Strength Tin and the Drink

Neuro Sleep is worth buying if what you want is melatonin as a mint, and the one to get is the Sleep & Recharge Meltaway Mints, mixed berry, 72 count, $24.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 35 cents a mint. The line is three tins of that mint (regular, extra strength, 144 count) and a 16.9 oz drink, and not one of the four titles states a melatonin amount or names an ingredient. This review sorts the line on what the listings do say, and benchmarks it against a strip and a lozenge that state their numbers.

Nested Naturals Luna Review (2026): Which Luna to Buy

Luna is worth buying if you want a herbal sleep capsule that pairs melatonin with valerian root and chamomile, and the one to get is Luna Herbal Sleep Supplement, 180 vegan capsules for $55.00 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about 31 cents a capsule and the only Luna whose Amazon title names what is in it. No Luna title states its melatonin amount. This review sorts the five adult Lunas and says where Natrol and NOW do a comparable blend for less.
