Product analysis
GABA Calm Peppermint Flavor centers on GABA for possible short-term calming, although sustained benefits remain uncertain. The other ingredients add little support for sleep at the amounts provided.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality24
Most ingredients lack specific form descriptions, limiting close quality comparisons. The magnesium form is named, but its relative quality remains uncertain.
Ingredient Transparency70
Every ingredient amount is disclosed, making the serving easy to check. Only magnesium has a named form, so most ingredient descriptions remain incomplete.
Value For Money49
GABA offers reasonable value, but glycine is costly for the amount supplied. The other ingredients’ value is uncertain, leaving a mixed buying case.
Customer Satisfaction69
The available customer feedback is positive. The small review pool leaves less confidence that it reflects a wide range of users.
Product Focus61
The formula centers on calming, with less convincing support for sleep. Small amounts of glycine, magnesium and taurine contribute little to that sleep purpose.

Magnesium · 5 mgGlycine · 50 mgGABA · 125 mg
GABA may help with short-term responses to stressful tasks, although findings from narrow settings and food preparations do not establish sustained supplement benefit. This serving supplies 125 mg, giving a partial contribution relative to the saved amount reference. The contribution centers on calming. A separate tyrosine claim cannot add support because its presence and amount remain unconfirmed.
How this product is rated for Stress Relief
Ingredient fit67
GABA is the qualifying calming ingredient, with partial fulfillment of the saved amount reference. The unresolved tyrosine claim cannot contribute.
Goal fit
GABA supplies the focused goal contribution, alongside an additional active without a qualifying contribution. The product is also linked to other goals.
Dose adequacy
GABA's amount partly fulfills the saved quantity reference per selected serving.
Pathways43
GABA provides calming coverage without qualifying breadth into other aspects.
Depth
Calming is the strongest-covered aspect.
Breadth
Only calming reaches the saved breadth threshold.
Evidence91
GABA supplies the qualifying evidence contribution and meets the saved preparation requirement.
Evidence strength
GABA provides the qualifying evidence contribution; the amount comparison does not establish an individual benefit.
Studied preparation
The qualifying ingredients meet the saved preparation requirement; this does not establish that the whole product was tested.
Formulation logic100
The qualifying ingredients have no missing configured partners or identified conflicts and clear the saved amount threshold.
Partner coverage
The qualifying ingredients can contribute alone or have their configured partners present.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was identified in the supplied findings.
Effective doses
GABA clears the saved minimum contribution threshold; that threshold is not a proven effective dose.
Impact
Moderate effect
Magnesium · 5 mgGlycine · 50 mg
GABA may help with settling down, but its contribution to better sleep remains uncertain. The product doesn’t identify a specific GABA preparation that would clarify that role.
Glycine, magnesium, and taurine are present in small amounts that add little to sleep support here. N-acetyl L-tyrosine isn’t a sleep contribution and is below the level associated with bedtime activation.
How this product is rated for Sleep Support
Ingredient fit65
GABA is the only meaningful sleep contributor; glycine, magnesium, and taurine add little, and tyrosine isn’t a sleep ingredient.
Goal fit
GABA is the only ingredient with a clear sleep role; glycine, taurine, and magnesium add little at their amounts.
Dose adequacy
The 125 mg GABA serving is the main sleep-related amount; the other ingredients are present in smaller quantities.
Pathways7
Only GABA’s calming role is represented; the formula adds no distinct timing or melatonin-building support.
Depth
GABA supplies a narrow calming role, without a separate sleep-timing ingredient.
Breadth
No second sleep process adds meaningfully alongside GABA’s calming role.
Evidence51
GABA is the leading possible contributor, but its general sleep role remains limited and uncertain.
Evidence strength
GABA leads the possible contribution, though its connection to better sleep is uncertain.
Studied preparation
No specific GABA preparation is named, which leaves its possible calming effect on sleep uncertain.
Formulation logic100
The GABA role stands alone, co-ingredient amounts add little, and tyrosine stays below the bedtime-conflict level.
Partner coverage
GABA is the only sleep-focused ingredient, and no second ingredient complements its possible calming role.
Conflicts
The 25 mg N-acetyl L-tyrosine amount is below the level associated with bedtime activation.
Effective doses
GABA is present at an amount that may contribute; the smaller co-ingredients add little.
