leaderboard Score 40.0
A sleep-focused herbal blend mislabeled for heart health, containing insufficient Hawthorn for direct cardiovascular benefits, and primarily offering indirect support through stress reduction.
Natural Factors Three Brains 'The Best Sleep' presents a significant mismatch between its product name, 'The Best Sleep,' and its stated goals of Heart Health, Cardiovascular Support, and Anti-Aging. The ingredient profile, dominated by Linden, California Poppy, Skullcap, and Passionflower extracts, consists primarily of herbs traditionally used for promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep quality. While good sleep and reduced stress can indirectly contribute to overall well-being, including cardiovascular health, these ingredients do not directly address core cardiovascular issues or provide robust anti-aging benefits in the way that dedicated heart supplements do. The inclusion of only 125mg of Hawthorn powder is a remarkably low dosage, far below what is typically considered effective for direct cardiac support, further highlighting the product's fundamental misdirection regarding its advertised goals.
- Contains herbs well-known for promoting relaxation and sleep.
- May indirectly benefit heart health by reducing stress and improving sleep quality.
- Major mismatch between product name ('The Best Sleep') and stated goals (Heart Health, Cardiovascular Support, Anti-Aging).
- Hawthorn dosage (125mg powder) is too low for significant direct heart health benefits.
- Ingredients are primarily sedative/anxiolytic, not direct cardiovascular support.
- Consumers seeking direct heart health benefits will likely be disappointed.
- May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after consumption.

Categories
Hawthorn 30.0
The Hawthorn content is a very low 125mg of powder, which is not an effective dose for supporting the collection's primary focus on heart health compared to most other Hawthorn-specific products.
Goals
Anti-Aging 40.0
Anti-aging benefits are minimal and indirect, primarily through stress reduction; it lacks potent antioxidants or compounds specifically known for cellular longevity or age-related vascular health.
Cardiovascular Support 35.0
Any cardiovascular support is highly indirect, relying solely on stress reduction and sleep improvement, rather than direct physiological mechanisms often targeted by cardiovascular supplements.
Heart Health 30.0
The primary ingredients are not directly heart-supportive, and the Hawthorn dosage is too low to provide meaningful cardiovascular benefits, making it ineffective for this goal.
