Melatonin gummies aren't one-size-fits-all — doses across the category range from 1mg to 10mg, and the right one depends on what you're actually looking for. Here's how the brands people search alongside "melatonin gummies" compare.

Quick answer: How does Vita Globe's melatonin dose compare to Natrol, Olly & CVS Health?
Vita Globe's standard gummy is 5mg. Natrol's flagship is commonly sold at 10mg time-release (3mg and 5mg also exist); Olly's original Sleep gummy is 3mg plus L-theanine and botanicals, with 5mg and 10mg strength tiers also available; CVS Health sells multiple doses (5mg, 10mg, 12mg) depending on the specific SKU.
Caveat: competitor doses and formulas reflect publicly listed labels at the time of writing and can vary by specific SKU — always check the current label before buying.

Dose isn't the only variable
Higher isn't automatically better with melatonin — some people do better starting lower and adjusting. Olly's original formula pairs a lower melatonin dose with L-theanine, aiming for a calmer wind-down rather than a hard dose. Natrol's flagship product leans into time-release at a higher dose. Ours sits in the middle at 5mg, straightforward and without added botanicals.
The honest takeaway
If you want the highest melatonin dose, Natrol's and Olly's Maximum Strength lines both go up to 10mg. If you want a lower, gentler dose, Olly's original 3mg or our Kids' 1mg (for children) are the lighter options. Our 5mg gummy sits as a straightforward middle ground.
Our option
Our Melatonin 5mg Gummies keep it simple — no proprietary blends to decode, just a clear 5mg dose per serving.

Should I start with the highest melatonin dose I can find?
Not necessarily — many people respond just as well to a lower dose with less next-day grogginess. Starting low and adjusting is generally the more cautious approach.
Does Olly's added L-theanine make a real difference?
It's a different approach — pairing a lower melatonin dose with L-theanine aims for a calmer wind-down rather than relying on melatonin dose alone. Whether that fits you is a matter of preference, not a settled "better."
