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.

What the label discloses

11listed rows
11separately quantified
0combined blend totals

The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 11 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.

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.

Melatonin dose matches the amounts used in studies

label claims 4 mg/serving — within 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.

Confirmed

Every ingredient amount is disclosed

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

Confirmed

Exact trademark owner identified

USPTO lists Armour, Kyle (INDIVIDUAL) in USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.

Confirmed

Found on the brand's own store

The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “The Night Before” (variant: 1 Pack) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

Confirmed

Documented concerns

What needs caution1

These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.

!

Reviews arrived in a burst, not gradually

The dated series runs from 365 written reviews on July 10, 2025 to 304 on August 1, 2026. Up to 158 written reviews were added within a single ~30-day window — 52% of the total. Sudden bursts are the usual fingerprint of incentivized or bought reviews; a steady climb is not.

Caution

Unresolved public record

What is still missing9

We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.

“Lab tested” claimed, but no lab or report named

The observed listing and the exact brand product page both claim third-party testing. Neither names the laboratory or links a product- or lot-specific report. Repeating the claim across two pages confirms the brand publishes it, not that testing occurred. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record.

No data

Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown

We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.

No data

Research context is available for the listed ingredients

Published sources describe how magnesium, 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 ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.

No data

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.

No data

No recall found — which is not the same as being tested

This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.

No data

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.

No data

180-day review-count history is on file

Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 354 on 2025-07-03 to 304 on 2026-08-01 (net -50). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.

No data

Package and trademark records name different responsible entitie

The package says distributed by: FORMULATION FACTORY LLC. USPTO names Armour, Kyle as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.

No data

UPC valid, no independent record

Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.

No data

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 198715330045.

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.
ClaimStatusWhat we found
Quality-testing claim
“…CLEANER SLEEP SUPPORT CAPSULES: Every bottle is made in the USA with imported ingredients in a GMP-compliant facility and every lot is third-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 repeats a testing claim but names no issuer. 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.
Manufacturing claim
“…CLEANER SLEEP SUPPORT CAPSULES: Every bottle is made in the USA with imported ingredients in a GMP-compliant facility and every lot is third-party tested.…”
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
“…CLEANER SLEEP SUPPORT CAPSULES: Every bottle is made in the USA with imported ingredients in a GMP-compliant facility and every lot is third-party tested.…”
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
“Formulation Factory The Night Before Magnesium Glycinate Sleep Aid, 10-in-1 Sleep Supplement with Melatonin 4mg, L-Theanine, Lemon Balm, Tart Cherry, Relaxation, Recovery”
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 4 mg/serving — within 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?’
IngredientWhere this label sitsReading
Magnesium
shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label
50 mg — below the studied range
Melatonin
shaded = doses used in studies (0.5 mg–5 mg) · bar = this label
4 mg — within 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.
