Analysis

This is another variant of OLLY Extra Strength Sleep, offering a larger quantity (70 servings) but with a slightly adjusted L-Theanine dose. It contains 5mg of Melatonin, which is effective for sleep onset, and 75mg of L-Theanine, which is still a beneficial dose for relaxation but slightly less than the 100mg found in the 60-count version. The same blend of Lemon Balm (16mg), Passionflower (17mg), and Chamomile (17mg) extracts provides additional calming effects, contributing synergistically to the overall formula. The gummy format remains convenient and palatable, with similar considerations regarding added sugars and calories.

Pros
  • Offers a good dose of Melatonin (5mg) for effective sleep induction.
  • Includes a beneficial dose of L-Theanine (75mg) for relaxation and sleep quality.
  • Contains a blend of well-known calming herbs (Lemon Balm, Passionflower, Chamomile) for synergistic effects.
  • Gummy format is appealing and easy to consume, especially for those with pill-swallowing difficulties.
  • Larger quantity provides more servings, potentially offering better long-term value.
Cons
  • The L-Theanine dose is slightly lower (75mg vs 100mg) compared to the 60-count variant, which may reduce its efficacy for some users seeking stronger relaxation.
  • Gummy format includes added sugars and calories, which might be a dietary consideration for some.
  • Individual herbal extract dosages are relatively modest within the blend, limiting their standalone impact.
Warnings
  • May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after consumption.
  • Contains sugar; individuals monitoring sugar intake should be aware.

Stress Relief 85.0
The 75mg of L-Theanine is effective for promoting relaxation and reducing stress, even if slightly less than ideal, by inducing alpha brain waves. The calming herbal blend of Lemon Balm, Passionflower, and Chamomile further contributes to alleviating tension and enhancing stress relief synergistically.
Mood Support 85.0
L-Theanine, along with the calming herbal extracts like Lemon Balm and Chamomile, works synergistically to promote a sense of well-being and reduce anxiety, which are vital for positive mood support. By easing mental tension and promoting relaxation, it helps foster a more positive emotional state.
