AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality28
Some ingredient sources are named, but their quality remains uncertain. The specific forms of theanine and GABA are not clearly disclosed, limiting a direct source comparison.
Ingredient Transparency65
Amounts are disclosed for the listed ingredients, helping you compare servings. Only some forms are specified, and the proportions within the ashwagandha extract mixture are not disclosed.
Value For Money44
Theanine offers moderate value at the full serving price, while GABA offers only modest value. Value for the remaining ingredients is uncertain, making the full combination harder to compare on price.
Customer Satisfaction71
Customer feedback is very positive. Fewer than a hundred ratings provide a small base for judging satisfaction.
Product Focus76
Perceived stress and sleep quality have the clearest support, with the ashwagandha preparation and theanine amounts aligned with relevant repeated-use findings. Longer-term mood and broad cognitive benefits are less certain, and combining the ingredients does not establish an added benefit.
