OLLY has positioned itself as a lifestyle wellness brand with premium packaging and added ingredients. We tested their sleep gummies to see if they justify the higher price point.
OLLY Sleep gummies offer a pleasant experience with added botanicals that some users find helpful for relaxation. However, the higher price, lack of third-party testing certification, and high sugar content make them less appealing than competitors like Natrol. Best for those who value taste and branding over pure value.
Unlike basic melatonin supplements, OLLY includes L-theanine and a "proprietary botanical blend" designed to enhance relaxation and create a more comprehensive sleep support formula. The question is whether these additions justify the 2x price premium over competitors.
OLLY's 3mg melatonin dose combined with L-theanine does help most users fall asleep faster. The L-theanine adds a relaxation element that pure melatonin products lack. However, some users report it's less effective than higher-dose alternatives for severe insomnia.
User feedback: "Works well for occasional use" is a common review theme.
This is where OLLY excels. The Blackberry Zen flavor is consistently praised as one of the best-tasting melatonin gummies on the market. The texture is soft and easy to chew, without the chalkiness some competitors have. If taste is your top priority, OLLY wins.
OLLY includes beneficial ingredients like L-theanine and botanicals. However, they lack visible third-party testing certification (no NSF or USP seal), which is concerning for a premium-priced product. The high sugar content (4g per serving) is also a downside.
Note: Without third-party testing, we can't verify the melatonin content is accurate. Studies show many supplements contain wildly different amounts than labeled.
At $0.34 per serving, OLLY costs roughly 2x more than Natrol ($0.17 per serving) for the same melatonin dose. You're paying a premium for the botanicals, branding, and taste. For budget-conscious consumers, this is hard to justify.
| Brand | Price | Per Serving | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLLY | $16.99 | $0.34 | Lower |
| Natrol | $12.99 | $0.17 | Higher |
OLLY's millennial-focused branding is excellent. The bright, colorful bottles and friendly messaging make supplements feel less clinical and more lifestyle-oriented. If aesthetics matter to you, OLLY delivers.
