Product analysis

42 out of 100

Power to Sleep PM may help with sleep timing and falling asleep, with melatonin providing the clearest support. The added relaxation ingredients have mixed or limited evidence, so the longer blend may not suit someone seeking a simpler sleep supplement.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality26

The quality of most ingredient sources remains uncertain. Many forms are unspecified, and the botanical blend does not identify its components.

Ingredient Transparency58

Amounts are listed throughout, which helps you compare servings. Most forms and the ingredients inside the botanical blend are not disclosed.

Value For Money36

The serving price looks relatively high if melatonin or theanine is your main reason for buying it. Valerian and GABA offer only modest value, while the value of several other ingredients remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction74

Customer feedback is generally positive. More than a thousand ratings provide a broad picture of satisfaction.

Product Focus26

Sleep timing is the clearest purpose, with possible relaxation support and less certain effects on mood or attention. Some supporting amounts are modest, and unidentified blend ingredients make the full formula harder to assess.

Magnesium · 12 mgMelatonin · 2 mgTheanine · 50 mg

Melatonin supports sleep timing and may help shorten the time to fall asleep, depending on when it is taken. Theanine and lemon balm may support relaxation and reported sleep quality, while GABA has limited sleep evidence. Valerian findings are mixed; the generic ashwagandha and passionflower extracts do not establish equivalence to the preparations studied. Several supporting amounts are modest, and the magnesium amount is too small to contribute meaningfully here.

How this product is rated for Sleep Support

Ingredient fit69

Several ingredients relate to sleep, but supporting amounts are uneven and preparation details affect their relevance.
Goal fit
The relevant ingredients support sleep, although the product also spans other goals.
Dose adequacy
Several relevant amounts provide only partial support against the saved amount benchmarks.

Pathways80

Melatonin provides the clearest timing support, with more limited contributions from other sleep-related ingredients.
Depth
Melatonin supplies the strongest coverage through sleep timing.
Breadth
Sleep timing and calming receive the clearest coverage; stress-related support is more limited.

Evidence94

Melatonin supplies the strongest basis for sleep timing and onset support. The contribution of other ingredients depends on their amounts and preparation details.
Evidence strength
Melatonin provides the strongest evidence connection to sleep timing and onset.
Studied preparation
Ashwagandha and passionflower are not matched to the studied preparations, limiting transfer of their sleep findings.

Formulation logic100

No configured conflict or missing required partner was identified. The saved amount criteria do not establish that combining the ingredients produces extra benefit.
Partner coverage
The relevant ingredients either stand alone or have their required partner; this does not establish added benefit from combining them.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was identified in the supplied findings.
Effective doses
Each counted ingredient clears the saved minimum amount criterion; this is not a proven effective sleep dose.

Ashwagandha · 150 mgMagnesium · 12 mgGABA · 100 mgTheanine · 50 mg

Theanine may ease task-related tension, while GABA has limited short-term stress findings. Valerian and melatonin connect mainly to selected anxiety and sleep-associated settings, with uncertain broad everyday relief. Lemon balm contributes a smaller amount than the exposures described in the supplied distress trials. Ashwagandha and passionflower are not established as matching the studied preparations, limiting how directly their findings apply here.

Magnesium · 12 mgAshwagandha · 150 mg

L-theanine may help with calm attention, although the 50 mg serving is below the amount used in the stronger supplied acute findings. Ashwagandha's cognitive findings are tied to named extracts, and this extract is not identified as one of them. Melatonin's sleep-timing role is indirect and offers no established next-day cognitive benefit.

The saved findings recognize several relevant ingredients, alongside a broader set of actives that makes the formula less focused on brain health.
Goal fit
The saved findings recognize several relevant ingredients, alongside a broader set of actives that makes the formula less focused on brain health.
Dose adequacy
Declared amounts provide partial support against the saved benchmarks, rather than establishing a proven effective cognitive dose.

The saved findings concentrate on stress and arousal regulation; this assigned connection is not proof of improved cognition. Only one assessed process reaches substantial coverage, leaving the overall connection narrow.

Magnesium · 12 mgAshwagandha · 150 mg

Lemon balm may help ease anxiety, though its effects depend on the preparation and the amount here is below the 600 mg extract reference. The ashwagandha extract isn't identified as KSM-66, so the stress-related benefits associated with that specific preparation can't be assumed. These details make a noticeable improvement in everyday mood uncertain.

How this product is rated for Mood Support

Ingredient fit57

L-theanine provides a possible connection to stress-associated tension. Its declared amount and the other ingredients determine how closely that applies here.
Goal fit
Several ingredients relate to mood, while other actives have different roles.
Dose adequacy
Lemon balm 150 mg; GABA 100 mg; Valerian 200 mg per serving. These amounts do not guarantee a mood benefit.

Pathways16

The ingredients relate mainly to calming, which differs from a lasting improvement in low mood.
Depth
The ingredients relate mainly to calming, which differs from a lasting improvement in low mood.
Breadth
The connection is concentrated on calming rather than several distinct mood benefits.

Evidence57

L-theanine may ease tension after mental tasks; a lasting lift in low mood is less clear.
Evidence strength
L-theanine may ease tension after mental tasks; a lasting lift in low mood is less clear.
Studied preparation
The ashwagandha preparation is unidentified, so equivalence to KSM-66 is uncertain.

Formulation logic100

The relevant ingredients do not require an additional partner, and no particular ingredient conflict is identified.
Partner coverage
No additional partner is required for the relevant ingredients to have their individual roles.
Conflicts
No particular ingredient conflict is identified for this combination.
Effective doses
The declared amounts allow ingredient-specific comparison, but do not establish how much mood improvement you will experience.
