Everything Vyvata knows about this product — the score, the evidence, the FAQ, and where else to find shopper reviews. No hidden data. Every vendor is scored on the same published rubric — no brand can pay for placement. Read the rubric →
Melatonin as an isolated ingredient is a legitimate sleep supplement — meta-analyses (Ferracioli-Oda 2013 PLoS ONE, Auld 2017 Sleep Med Rev) show small effects on sleep onset latency (~7 min faster) and total sleep time (~8 min longer) at 0.5-5mg doses taken 30-60 min before bed. Higher doses are not better and often worse (rebound insomnia). The critical issue with this SKU: melatonin is buried in a mixed formula ('mint leaf extract, traditional Chinese medicine extract, gluconic acid lactone, potassium sorbate, vitamin B1, melatonin') where the melatonin dose is not disclosed and the unnamed TCM extract could contain sedating botanicals with pharmacological interactions. The identical base ingredient block appears on multiple other Vivalo 'drops' products in this batch (Weight Loss Control Drops, Hip Augmentation, Herbal Shaping) — confirming this is a single template formula with melatonin added. Autofailed under proprietary_blend_hides_dose (unnamed TCM extract) + melatonin dose not disclosed. Rejected at 45.
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

The Vyvata score measures product integrity against a published rubric, not customer sentiment. Vyvata does not aggregate, republish, or license third-party reviews — the links below open search pages on their respective platforms.
Every VSF-related metafield surfaced verbatim. Nothing hidden. If you spot data that looks wrong, let us know.
Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
