⚠️ The Danger With Sleep Supplements
We’ve been seeing more and more chat about sleep gummies lately, especially ones being marketed for kids.
And honestly? It’s made us stop and think.
This week a story came out about some supplements sold as “natural” sleep support for children. Turns out, they might’ve included melatonin without saying so clearly on the label.
No panic, no drama. Just something we think is worth talking about.
❌ “Natural” Doesn’t Always Mean Gentle
A lot of these products are sold with soft colours, calming names, and claims like “magnesium-based” or “great for neurodivergent kids.”
But if something feels more like a sedative than a supplement, it’s worth digging into.
Melatonin might sound simple, but in the UK it’s classed as a prescription-only medicine for a reason. It’s a hormone.
😴 Why We’re Talking About It
We’re not here to scare anyone or point fingers.
We just know what it’s like to be desperate for something, anything, that helps someone you love settle at night.
But when products are sold without clear info, it leaves parents guessing. And guessing shouldn’t be part of bedtime.
📉 The Bigger Picture
Families are tired. Support is confusing.
It’s no wonder people end up trying random things from Amazon with five-star reviews.
But when something “natural” ends up having a real medical effect, that’s not just marketing fluff. That’s something that needs talking about.
🧠 Why We Built Nesti
We didn’t make Nesti because we had a background in sleep. We made it because we couldn’t believe how little safe, calming support was out there.
We didn’t want tablets. Or labels. Or scary ingredients.
We just wanted something that felt good and actually helped people regulate.
No sedatives. No false promises. Just wearable calm that’s helped hundreds of people already.
💡 If You’re a Parent Reading This
You’re not overreacting.
You don’t need to wait for a label to trust your gut.
And you deserve options that feel good and safe.
This isn’t about one product. It’s about making calm more accessible and transparent for families who actually need it.
We’re always going to show up honestly, even if it’s a bit messy or unpolished.
Thanks for being here with us.
