Summary |
NutraSleep™ is a supplement promoted as a sleep aid. This product is manufactured by the company Source Naturals, which was founded in 1982. The company makes a number of dietary supplements that are advertised as sleep aids, many of which have quite similar formulas. We do find it confusing as to why this company feels the need to promote very similar products, and do suspect that is has less to do with customer service and more to do with making a profit.
It’s important that consumers find a sleep aid product that will work for them and their individual problems. This can be hard, due to the many products currently on the market. We always suggest researching a product before making a purchase, and we will assist in this process by taking a closer look at NutraSleep™’s ingredient list.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
NutraSleep™: Niacinamide, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Inositol, GABA, Taurine, Skullcap Aerial Parts, Passionflower Aerial Parts, Valerian Root and Chamomile Flower Extract. There are also other filler ingredients that are clearly listed on the company website.
Overall, this formula is hardly “unique”. It appears to include many of the trendy sleep aid ingredients currently available. Consumers who wish to take advantage of the latest in technological advances may prefer to use a product that offers patented ingredients, which may show the formula has been well researched and fully developed.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
The ingredient list for NutraSleep™ is almost identical to the one used in Night Rest™, which is a product also made by this company. Again, we are unsure as to why the manufacturer has made such similar formulas, and they do not explain the reason online. Consumers who desire an innovative and well-developed supplement may prefer to purchase from companies that stand behind the success of a single sleep aid formula.
The ingredients contained within Nutra Sleep™ are all natural and many are purported to ease tension and promote relaxation. This formula may create drowsiness to lull users into sleep, but some of the contained ingredients may cause this drowsiness to extend to the next day. Thus, consumers may not wake up feeling as refreshed as expected.

| Website |
|
The NutraSleep™ website promotes a number of Source Natural products. This may make it confusing for consumers who are searching for information on a specific supplement, and hard for them to choose which product will address their issue.
Furthermore, this website does not post any testimonials or cited research, both of which may indicate if a product performs as advertised. However, the complete ingredient list is displayed, as well as a very brief product description.
|
| Positives |
|
• Offers a source for various minerals and amino acids
• Can be found reduced in price online
• Complete ingredient list is posted on website
|
| Negatives |
|
• Does not contain melatonin
• Formula is very similar to another Source Natural Product
• No testimonials posted online at time of review
• Website lacks cited research
• No money-back guarantee presented by manufacturer
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
This product contains many popular sleep aid ingredients, but fails to provide the ones we find to be most effective. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates sleep cycles and is offered in some supplements. One of the most attractive features of Melatonin is that it’s not been shown to cause next-day after effects, unlike some of the herbs featured in Nutra Sleep™.
However, this product is moderately priced and currently reduced in price at some online stores. While interested consumers are not offered a money-back guarantee, they can spend as little as $11 to test NutraSleep™ out for its purported benefits.
