✦ Our Formulation Philosophy

We chose four ingredients.
Not fourteen.

Most supplement brands add ten to fifteen ingredients to their formula. They do this to make the product look impressive on paper - not because every ingredient is necessary or effective at the dose provided.

Melly has four ingredients. Each one is chosen because it has the strongest clinical evidence for a specific sleep benefit. Each one is dosed at a level that the research supports. Nothing is added for appearance. Nothing is left out to cut costs.

Evidence first

If there is not strong clinical evidence for an ingredient at a specific dose, it does not go in Melly.

Purposeful dosing

Every dose is chosen based on what the research shows works - not what looks impressive on a label.

Full disclosure

We tell you every ingredient, every dose, and exactly why it is there. No proprietary blends. No hidden additives.

✦ The Full Breakdown

Every ingredient, explained.

Ingredient 01
Melatonin
N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine
3mg
per gummy
What it is

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the pineal gland in your brain. It is your body's primary sleep signal - when darkness falls, melatonin rises, and your body begins its transition toward sleep.

How it works

Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus - your brain's master circadian clock. This binding reduces alertness and lowers core body temperature, initiating the physiological cascade that leads to sleep onset.

Primary sleep benefit: Reduces time to fall asleep - typically by 7 to 34 minutes depending on the individual and their baseline sleep timing.
The science

A 2013 meta-analysis of 19 randomised controlled trials found melatonin supplementation significantly reduced sleep onset time and increased total sleep time. Effects were most pronounced in people with delayed sleep phase disorder.

Why this specific dose

3mg is at the top of the optimal physiological range. Research consistently shows that doses above 3–5mg do not produce better results and may actually reduce receptor sensitivity over time. Less is more with melatonin.

Ingredient 02
Ashwagandha Extract
Withania somnifera (KSM-66)
200mg
per gummy
What it is

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb from the Ayurvedic tradition, used for over 3,000 years to reduce stress and improve vitality. KSM-66 is the most clinically studied full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract, standardised for withanolide content.

How it works

Ashwagandha modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis - the hormonal system that controls your body's stress response. By reducing cortisol production, it lowers the physiological arousal that prevents deep sleep entry and causes night waking.

Primary sleep benefit: Improves sleep quality, reduces night waking, and increases time in deep sleep stages by lowering cortisol-driven arousal.
The science

A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial (Langade et al., 2019) found that KSM-66 ashwagandha significantly improved sleep quality, sleep onset latency, and morning alertness after 8 weeks. Sleep efficiency improved by 6% in the treatment group.

Why this specific dose

200mg per gummy provides a meaningful dose within the range used in clinical studies (300–600mg daily for 2 gummies). This is sufficient to produce cortisol reduction without causing daytime sedation or interfering with natural energy levels.

Ingredient 03
Chamomile Extract
Matricaria chamomilla (standardised apigenin)
150mg
per gummy
What it is

Chamomile is one of the most widely consumed medicinal herbs in the world, with a history of use as a sleep and anxiety remedy spanning thousands of years. The extract is standardised for apigenin - the active flavonoid responsible for its calming effects.

How it works

Apigenin binds to GABA-A receptors in the brain - the same receptors targeted by benzodiazepines and many prescription sleep medications. This binding produces a natural calming and mild sedative effect without the dependency, tolerance, or next-day impairment associated with pharmaceutical options.

Primary sleep benefit: Reduces anxiety-related wakefulness, eases the transition into sleep, and reduces the frequency of night waking - particularly in people whose sleep difficulties are stress or anxiety-related.
The science

A randomised controlled trial (Hieu et al., 2019) found chamomile extract significantly improved sleep quality in older adults after 4 weeks. Sleep efficiency and sleep problem scores both improved significantly versus placebo.

Why this specific dose

150mg of standardised chamomile extract provides a clinically relevant dose of apigenin. This level produces meaningful GABA-A receptor activity without causing excessive sedation that could impair natural sleep architecture.

Ingredient 04
Vitamin B6
Pyridoxine hydrochloride
2mg
per gummy
What it is

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. In the context of sleep, it plays a critical role as a cofactor in the biosynthesis pathway that produces both serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan.

How it works

B6 supports the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP to serotonin, and subsequently to melatonin. By ensuring this pathway runs efficiently, B6 supports your body's own melatonin production and complements the supplemental melatonin in Melly.

Primary sleep benefit: Supports clear-headed wake-up by aiding natural sleep cycle completion and reducing the residual sedation that other sleep supplements can cause.
The science

Vitamin B6 has been shown to increase dream vividness and recall - a reliable proxy for enhanced REM sleep activity. Additionally, its role in serotonin synthesis supports the mood and cognitive clarity associated with well-rested mornings.

Why this specific dose

2mg provides 167% of the daily recommended value - a safe and effective amount. B6 toxicity requires very high long-term doses (above 200mg daily) making this level completely safe for nightly use.

✦ What We Left Out

What is NOT in Melly
is just as important.

We made deliberate choices about what to exclude - and we think you should know about them.

Diphenhydramine

An antihistamine used in many OTC sleep aids. Creates dependency, causes severe morning grogginess, and loses effectiveness within days.

Benzodiazepines

Prescription sedatives with high dependency risk. Suppress REM sleep and cause withdrawal symptoms on stopping.

Artificial colors

No functional benefit and potential sensitivities in some people. We use natural grape skin extract instead.

Artificial flavors

Replaced entirely with natural mixed berry flavoring. Better taste, cleaner formula.

Gelatin

Animal-derived. Replaced with pectin - a plant-based alternative that produces the same gummy texture.

Proprietary blends

A way of hiding ingredient doses. Every dose in Melly is fully disclosed. No exceptions.

Valerian root

Despite popularity, clinical evidence is inconsistent. We chose ingredients with stronger and more reliable evidence.

High-dose melatonin (5mg+)

Higher doses do not improve outcomes and reduce receptor sensitivity over time. 3mg is the optimal dose.
