Best-Rest Complex
This is the most comprehensive multi-ingredient sleep formula that maintains pharmaceutical-grade purity. It combines Melatonin, L-Theanine, and Valerian without the 'kitchen sink' approach of lower-quality brands.
Quality & Materials
Features Suntheanine (the high-purity L-theanine isomer) and 1mg of melatonin, which is the clinically recommended low-dose starting point.
Evidence & Testing
The ingredients (Valerian, Passionflower, Lemon Balm) all have individual RCTs supporting their use for sleep quality and anxiety reduction.
Brand Transparency
Pure Encapsulations is a practitioner-trusted brand. While they don't publicize every COA on the site, they adhere to USP standards and rigorous internal testing.
Value Assessment
Higher cost per serving, but it replaces the need for 3-4 separate supplements, making it efficient for those with complex sleep issues.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike many 'sleep gummies' or drugstore brands, Pure Encapsulations uses standardized herbal extracts (ensuring consistent active compounds) and avoids artificial colors and titanium dioxide.
