How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Panel, decoded
The 10 mg melatonin claim matches the panel
MARKETING10 mg — per-serving claim
PANELMelatonin 10 mg — same amountIncludes 1 g Added Sugars 1 g
matches panelWe did the comparison: the listing claims 10 mg of melatonin, and the listing-image panel shows 10 mg melatonin 1 gummy. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

Mass check · assumptions shown
3 g listed contents = 1 g major actives + 2 g carbohydrate
Assume 4 pectin gummies × 2.5–3.5 g each = 10–14 g serving. That leaves roughly 0–2 g for water, pectin, sweetener, acid, and flavor. Serving weight is not printed, so this is a warning, not a closed impossibility.
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out4
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Found on the brand's own store
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Time Release Melatonin Gummies, 10mg” (variant: 55 ct) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
UPCitemdb resolves 047469081737 to "Natrol 10mg Melatonin Time Release Gummies - 55ct" (Natrol) — consistent with this listing.
The review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 64 to 113 between July 8, 2025 and July 20, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 9, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution2
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The label says 3 g of melatonin in 4 gummies — but not what thos
A serving is 4 gummies, and the panel lists 3,000 mg — 3 g — of melatonin in that serving. What the panel doesn’t give is the one number needed to check it: what a serving weighs. Gummies of this type usually run somewhere around 2.5 to 3.5 grams each, which would put 4 of them near 10 to 14 grams. If that holds here, melatonin would be a high share of the serving’s weight, and that is why we stopped on this number. But we did not weigh these gummies. The 2.5–3.5 gram figure is a general estimate for the format, not a measurement of this product. One published number would settle it: the weight of one gummy, or of a 4-gummy serving. Until then we can’t confirm the 3 g and we can’t dispute it. Nothing here says the product is short — only that the label doesn’t let anyone check. Checked August 3, 2026.
Dose is higher than studies used
label claims 10 mg/serving — above the range commonly used in research (sleep trials commonly use 0.5–5 mg; higher doses are not shown to work better and gummy products have repeatedly been found to differ from their labels). Sources: NIH NCCIH — Melatonin, PubMed search: melatonin dose sleep onset.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing8
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: NATROL, INC., Natrol, Inc., Natrol LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Listing claim matches the label panel
The listing claims 10 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Melatonin at 10 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Cost to reach a studied dose
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (0.5–5 mg), this product runs roughly $9 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how melatonin have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH NCCIH — Melatonin, PubMed search: melatonin dose sleep onset.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
This recall is not about the product on this page. Natrol, LLC recalled a different product on April 8, 2021. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Natrol Melatonin 3 mg, Tab 60 White bottle with purple flip-top cap. Fall asleep faster, Stay asleep longer, 100$ Drug Free 1 Tablet 20 minutes before bedtime. Manufactured by N”. FDA recorded the reason as “One lot of ALA 300 mg Cap-50 were labeled at Melatonin 3 mg Tab-60”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
Public label filing not saved
We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 62 on 2025-07-01 to 113 on 2026-07-20 (net +51). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
2
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
3
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 047469081737.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…3rd Party Tested…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. The exact brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Speed-of-results claim “…#1 DRUG FREE SLEEPING AID BRAND IN AMERICA(2): As the #1 drug free sleep aid brand, we have formulas to help you fall asleep faster, and fast-acting and effective sleep ” | No evidence located We looked for: a study measuring the stated outcome over the stated time | We found no study of this product measuring the stated outcome over the stated timeframe. |
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP CERTIFIED…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check. |
| Origin claim “…Manufactured in USA” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…NATROL SLEEP SUPPORT THROUGH THE NIGHT: Experience better sleep with Natrol melatonin 10mg gummies for adults, formulated as a time release melatonin supplement to help ” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 10 mg/serving — above the range commonly used in research (sleep trials commonly use 0.5–5 mg; higher doses are not shown to work better and gummy products have repeatedly been found to differ from their labels). |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Melatonin | shaded = doses used in studies (0.5 mg–5 mg) · bar = this label | 10 mg — above the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
