The active ingredients in a product with that name are melatonin, 5-htp, and magnesium. Was it that you are trying to put together a more affordable sleep aid for your Mom. Melatonin might be quite sufficient on its own. I don't think magnesium is particularly soporific by itself. 5-htp is a serotonin pre-cursor. It could be sleep inducing for some people, depends on one's serotonin levels and reaction to serotonin. For most people the essential ingredient of the mentioned product is likely melatonin. Its pretty inexpensive. I think it isn't an allowed/approved supplement in some areas of the world and requires a Rx in some but if the product I read about is available where you are, melatonin is likely available as well.
