Buy Som Sleep, magnesium and melatonin in single-serve berry packets, 10 for $21.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about $2.20 a serving, or $1.83 in the 30-pack. It is the stir-in that gets the format right: sealed packets, three flavors, and a Zero Sugar version that states 3 mg. Six more powders follow, including the two melatonin-free mixes people compare against, ranked on stated amount, what else is in the scoop, sugar and cost per serving.

Buy Som Sleep, berry, 10 single-serve packets, $21.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about $2.20 a serving. The title states magnesium and melatonin and the count; the 30-pack at $54.99 brings it to about $1.83. If you want the melatonin amount stated on the front, Som Zero Sugar states 3 mg. If you want the lowest cost per night in a tub, Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om is about $1.40 a serving.
A sleep powder is a drink mix you stir into water before bed, and the format exists for one reason the shot and the tablet cannot match: it carries a magnesium serving alongside the melatonin, or in the melatonin-free tier, instead of it. That makes the category two products in one. The melatonin powders (Som, BEAM, Dream Water, Moon Juice) are judged on the melatonin amount first; the melatonin-free powders (Nello, CS2) are on this page because buyers compare them, and we say plainly on each card that the title states no melatonin.
How we rank: labeled melatonin per serving as the title states it, the companions the title names, whether the title addresses sugar, and cost per serving where the title states the count. Powders get one more question: packets or a scoop, because owners of scooped mixes consistently report the scoop is where the serving goes wrong. Every listing and price was verified live via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026. We are a verification desk, not a lab; we do not test products and we do not describe what magnesium, L-theanine, GABA, reishi, apigenin, ashwagandha or glycine do. Pick slots go to recognized brands only. No brand paid for a placement; if you buy through our links we may earn an Amazon commission at no extra cost to you.

Seven sleep powders. Melatonin, companions, sugar and count are from the Amazon listing title only; "not published" means the title is silent. Prices verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026. Cost per serving is price divided by the title's count and appears only where a count is stated.
Som Sleep Powder, Magnesium and Melatonin, Berry, 10-Pack
Som Sleep
Sealed single-serve packets of magnesium and melatonin, 10 for $21.99, about $2.20 each.
Our verdict: Som is the stir-in that solved the stir-in's problem: every serving is a sealed packet, so there is no scoop to misjudge. The berry 10-pack is $21.99, about $2.20 a serving, and the 30-pack at $54.99 is about $1.83. The title states magnesium and melatonin and not their amounts, which is the one thing we would change.
Verified: Title states magnesium and melatonin, berry, 10 single-serve packs; melatonin amount not published in the title. Live at $21.99 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
Packets, not a tub, and that is most of the argument. Som Sleep sells its magnesium-and-melatonin mix as single-serve packets: tear, pour, stir. Owners of scooped sleep powders consistently report inconsistent servings; Som's owners do not, because there is nothing to measure. Berry, cherry and tangerine 10-packs are all $21.99.
The gap is on the title: "Magnesium Melatonin" with no numbers. The Supplement Facts panel states both; we print neither because the title does not. If the number matters to you before you buy, the Zero Sugar card below states 3 mg. The full line, including the melatonin-free Calm mix, is in our Som Sleep review; the shot-versus-packet decision is Dream Water vs Som Sleep.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a magnesium-and-melatonin drink with a fixed serving in a sealed packet, from the powder brand most people already know, and you are happy to read the panel for the amounts.
What we don't like
No amounts on the flavored titles, sugar not addressed on the flavored versions, and a packet is still a step more than a shot.

Som Sleep Zero Sugar, Magnesium, L-Theanine, GABA, 3 mg Melatonin, B6
Som Sleep
3 mg on the title, zero sugar, four companions named, $40.02.
Our verdict: The one powder here whose title states the melatonin number, and at 3 mg it is the lowest stated amount in the category. Zero sugar is stated too. The title does not state the count, so $40.02 has no per-serving figure from the listing; that is the only reason it is not the pick.
Verified: Labeled 3 mg melatonin with magnesium, L-theanine, GABA and B6, zero sugar per title; count not published. Live at $40.02 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
If you need the number before you buy, this is the Som. Som Sleep Zero Sugar states 3 mg melatonin on its title, alongside magnesium, L-theanine, GABA and vitamin B6, and states zero sugar. Three milligrams sits inside the range many clinicians cite as a sensible starting point, which no shot on this site can say.
Between the flavored 10-pack and this one, the trade is a known $2.20 per serving against a known 3 mg and zero sugar. Both belong on the 3 mg ranking's radar, and the sugar question is covered across formats in the sugar-free guide.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want the melatonin amount stated on the front at 3 mg, zero sugar, and the Som packet format.
What we don't like
Count not on the title, so no per-serving math, and $40.02 is nearly double the flavored 10-pack up front.

Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om, Magnesium and Melatonin, Cherry, 35 Servings
Moon Juice
A 35-serving magnesium-and-melatonin tub at $49.00, about $1.40 a night.
Our verdict: The tub wins on price: $49.00 divided by 35 servings is about $1.40, the lowest cost per night in the category. The trade is a scoop instead of a sealed packet and a bigger outlay before you know if you like it. The title states magnesium and melatonin and no amounts.
Verified: Title states magnesium and melatonin, cherry, 35 servings; amounts not published in the title. Live at $49.00 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
The value tub. Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om is 35 servings of cherry magnesium-and-melatonin powder for $49.00. That is the largest stated count on this page and the lowest cost per serving.
It is a scoop, and scoops are where owners of every tub on this page report going wrong. The title also states no amounts. It leads our magnesium sleep powders ranking, where the magnesium side of the label is the focus.
Who should buy it
Buy it if a magnesium-and-melatonin drink is already a nightly habit and you want the lowest cost per night from a recognized brand.
What we don't like
$49.00 before you have tasted it, a scoop rather than packets, and no amounts on the title.

Dream Water Sleep Aid Powder, 5 mg Melatonin, GABA, 5-HTP
Dream Water
The Dream Water blend as a powder, 5 mg stated, $19.99; count not on the title.
Our verdict: The shot brand's powder, with the shot's disclosure: 5 mg melatonin, GABA and 5-HTP stated on the title. It is the only powder here that states 5 mg and the only one without magnesium. At $19.99 it is the cheapest entry on the page, but the title does not state the count, so we cannot say what a serving costs.
Verified: Labeled 5 mg melatonin with GABA and 5-HTP, natural flavors per title; count not published. Live at $19.99 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
Dream Water without the bottle. The Dream Water Sleep Aid Powder states 5 mg melatonin, GABA and 5-HTP on its title, exactly as the shots do. It is the one powder on this page that leads with melatonin rather than magnesium, and the one that states no magnesium at all.
It suits the buyer who wants the Dream Water blend and a fixed 5 mg without the shot's two-dollar-a-night price, and who does not want magnesium. The rest of the line is in the Dream Water review; the shot field is best melatonin shots.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a stated 5 mg with GABA and 5-HTP in a powder, no magnesium, and the lowest entry price on the page.
What we don't like
Count not on the title, no magnesium for buyers who came to powders for it, and 5 mg is the top of the commonly cited range.

BEAM Dream Sleep Powder, Magnesium, Melatonin, L-Theanine, Reishi, Apigenin
BEAM
Five actives on the title, no amounts, no count, $54.99.
Our verdict: BEAM Dream names more ingredients on its title than anything else in the category and states none of their amounts or the serving count. At $54.99 it is the most expensive tub with no per-serving figure. It is the premium blend for a buyer who wants everything in one scoop and will read the panel.
Verified: Title states magnesium, melatonin, L-theanine, reishi mushroom and apigenin; amounts and count not published in the title. Live at $54.99 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
The most stated, least quantified listing on the page. BEAM Dream Sleep Powder lists magnesium, melatonin, L-theanine, reishi mushroom and apigenin. It is a scoop tub, the title does not state the serving count, and no amount appears for any of the five.
BEAM sells the same blend as Dream capsules at $46.00 and a melatonin-free Dream with GABA at the same $54.99. Apigenin is the ingredient buyers ask about most; the apigenin guide covers where else it appears. The line is sorted in our BEAM Dream review.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want magnesium, melatonin, L-theanine, reishi and apigenin in one nightly mix and cost per night is not the deciding line.
What we don't like

CS2 Sleep Drink Mix, Magnesium, Apigenin, L-Theanine, Mixed Berry, 30 Count
CS2
Melatonin-free: magnesium, apigenin and L-theanine, 30 for $42.30, about $1.41 each.
Our verdict: CS2 is the melatonin-free powder with the clearest title: three actives named, a count stated, no melatonin. $42.30 divided by 30 is about $1.41 a serving, a penny over Moon Juice. It is the mix for someone who wants the magnesium-and-L-theanine drink without the hormone.
Verified: Title states magnesium, apigenin and L-theanine, mixed berry, 30 count; it does not state melatonin. Live at $42.30 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
The melatonin-free mix that states its count. CS2 Sleep Drink Mix names magnesium, apigenin and L-theanine on its title, states 30 count, and does not state melatonin. On a melatonin site that last point is the first thing to say: this is the comparison product, not a melatonin product.
It shares two of its three named actives with BEAM Dream, minus the melatonin and reishi, which makes it the natural comparison for a BEAM buyer who wants to drop the melatonin. Our melatonin-free ranking puts it against the tablets and gummies in that tier, and melatonin vs magnesium is the explainer for the decision itself.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a magnesium, apigenin and L-theanine drink with no melatonin, a stated count, and a cost per night close to the cheapest tub here.
What we don't like
No amounts on the title for any of the three actives, sugar not addressed, and $42.30 up front.

Nello Supersleep Nighttime Drink Mix, Ashwagandha, Maizinol, L-Glycine, Magnesium Glycinate
Nello
Melatonin-free: ashwagandha, maizinol, glycine and magnesium glycinate, $39.95.
Our verdict: Nello Supersleep is the other melatonin-free mix, built on ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate rather than apigenin, and the only title on this page that names the magnesium form. It states no count, so $39.95 has no per-serving figure. For a buyer who wants glycine and ashwagandha in the glass and no melatonin, it is the one.
Verified: Title states ashwagandha, maizinol, L-glycine and magnesium glycinate; it does not state melatonin, and the count is not published. Live at $39.95 on Amazon, verified via the Creators API on September 5, 2026.
The other melatonin-free mix, with a different list. Nello Supersleep names ashwagandha, maizinol, L-glycine and magnesium glycinate on its title and does not state melatonin. It is the only listing here that states which magnesium it uses, which matters to buyers who shop that ingredient by form.
Glycine is the ingredient that sets it apart from CS2 and BEAM; the glycine guide covers it across formats, and melatonin with ashwagandha is the page for buyers who want that herb with melatonin rather than instead of it.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a melatonin-free drink built on ashwagandha, glycine and magnesium glycinate, and you will check the count on the listing before judging the price.
What we don't like
No count on the title, no amounts, sugar not addressed, and a sibling product whose title leans on a claim we will not repeat.

How we chose
Every product on this site is ranked on the same protocol: melatonin per serving as the label states it, the delivery form, what else is in the formula, the count, the cost per serving when the listing publishes the count, and how honest the listing is. Powders add two questions. First, packets or scoop: a sealed packet is a fixed serving and a scoop is an estimate, and that difference shows up in owner reports more than any flavor complaint. Second, is the melatonin amount stated: most powder titles lead with magnesium and leave the melatonin number to the panel. We read the Supplement Facts panel and the live listing, verify price and availability via the Amazon Creators API (this page: September 5, 2026), and weigh consistent owner reports. We do not run a lab and we never present a brand's claim as our finding.
Melatonin is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement, not a drug. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Nothing here is medical advice or an individualized amount; we report what labels direct and note the general guidance, widely cited by sleep clinicians, that lower amounts (often 0.5 to 3 mg) are worth starting with. Melatonin can interact with blood thinners, immunosuppressants, blood-pressure and diabetes medication, and the magnesium, ashwagandha and other actives on these titles are additional lines to show a pharmacist. Do not drive after taking any of these. If pregnant or nursing, consult a doctor. These are adult products; keep them away from children.
Questions, answered
What is the best sleep powder?
Som Sleep, magnesium and melatonin in single-serve berry packets, 10 for $21.99 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026), about $2.20 a serving, or about $1.83 in the 30-pack at $54.99. For the melatonin amount stated on the title, Som Zero Sugar at 3 mg ($40.02). For the lowest cost per serving, Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om at $49.00 for 35, about $1.40.
How much melatonin is in sleep powders?
Where the title states it: 3 mg in Som Sleep Zero Sugar and 5 mg in Dream Water Sleep Aid Powder. The flavored Som packs, Moon Juice and BEAM Dream state melatonin without an amount, and CS2 and Nello Supersleep do not state melatonin at all. The Supplement Facts panel is the source for the rest.
Do sleep powders have magnesium?
Most do, by their titles: Som Sleep, Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om, BEAM Dream, CS2 and Nello Supersleep all state magnesium, and Nello states the form (glycinate). Dream Water's powder does not state magnesium. Amounts are not on any title here.
Which sleep powder has no sugar?
Som Sleep Zero Sugar ($40.02) states it on the title. The flavored Som packs, Moon Juice, Dream Water powder, BEAM, CS2 and Nello do not address sugar on the title; the panel will.
What is the cheapest sleep powder per serving?
Moon Juice Sleepy Magnesi-Om at $49.00 for 35 servings, about $1.40, then CS2 (melatonin-free) at $42.30 for 30, about $1.41, then the Som Sleep 30-pack at $54.99, about $1.83. Figures are price divided by the count the title states, at our September 5, 2026 check. Dream Water powder ($19.99), BEAM ($54.99), Som Zero Sugar ($40.02) and Nello ($39.95) do not state a count.
Is a sleep powder better than a melatonin pill?
It carries the same melatonin at the labeled amount plus, in most cases, a magnesium serving, at roughly $1.40 to $2.20 a night against a few cents for a tablet. The powder is the format to choose if you want magnesium in the same glass or find a drink easier to keep up than a pill. We do not compare efficacy between formats; we report what the labels state.
What is the best melatonin-free sleep powder?
CS2 Sleep Drink Mix, magnesium, apigenin and L-theanine, 30 count at $42.30, about $1.41 a serving, for the clearest title and a stated count. Nello Supersleep ($39.95) is the ashwagandha, glycine and magnesium glycinate alternative, with no count on the title. BEAM also sells a melatonin-free Dream at $54.99.
