Vital Nightfall — Advanced Nighttime Sleep Support | 10 mg Melatonin + Botanical Blend
Vital Nightfall — Advanced Nighttime Sleep Support Complex
10 mg Melatonin • 905 mg Proprietary Sleep Blend • 2-Capsule Serving
A more advanced nighttime formula combining melatonin with amino acids, calming botanicals, adaptogens, and neurotransmitter-related ingredients for adults looking for a comprehensive capsule-based sleep-support option.
What Is Vital Nightfall?
Vital Nightfall is the more complex capsule-based sleep formula in the ProofMode lineup.
Each two-capsule serving provides:
- 10 mg melatonin
- 1.8 mg vitamin B6
- 17 mg calcium
- 13 mg magnesium
- 905 mg proprietary nighttime blend
That proprietary blend contains 14 additional ingredients spanning amino acids, botanicals, adaptogens, and neurotransmitter-related compounds.
This is not a minimalist sleep product.
It is a broad nighttime formula — and should be treated like one.
We Know the Total Blend Dose. We Do Not Know Each Ingredient's Individual Dose.
The label discloses a 905 mg proprietary blend, but it does not disclose how many milligrams of L-tryptophan, 5-HTP, GABA, L-theanine, ashwagandha, St. John's wort, or the individual botanicals are present.
That means we will not claim that any individual ingredient reaches a clinically studied dose.
What's Inside the 905 mg Nighttime Blend?
Melatonin — 10 mg
Melatonin is a hormone involved in circadian timing and the body's response to darkness. Vital Nightfall provides a clearly disclosed 10 mg serving — substantially more than the body's normal physiologic secretion — which is one reason this formula deserves thoughtful use rather than automatic nightly stacking.
L-Tryptophan + 5-HTP
L-tryptophan and 5-HTP both participate in biochemical pathways related to serotonin and melatonin. Their presence does not mean the formula simply “replenishes serotonin,” and it increases the importance of reviewing serotonergic medications before use.
GABA + L-Theanine
GABA and L-theanine are commonly used in relaxation-oriented formulas. L-theanine has some human research involving attention, stress, and relaxation, while questions remain about the extent to which orally administered GABA consistently influences central nervous system activity.
Chamomile + Lemon Balm + Passion Flower + Hops + Chinese Skullcap
These botanicals have traditional use in relaxation and nighttime formulas, but clinical evidence varies by ingredient, preparation, dose, and outcome. Because their individual amounts are not disclosed, Vital Nightfall should not be marketed as though each botanical reaches a specific evidence-based dose.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha has been studied for stress and sleep-related outcomes in selected human trials. Results depend on the extract and dose, so its presence here should be viewed as part of the broader blend rather than a guaranteed cortisol-lowering or sleep-inducing dose.
The Rest of the Blend
L-Taurine: an amino-sulfonic compound involved in numerous physiologic processes.
Inositol: a naturally occurring compound involved in cellular signaling.
Lycium barbarum: goji fruit included as part of the botanical blend.
Vital Nightfall Contains St. John's Wort.
St. John's wort has one of the most important drug-interaction profiles among commonly used herbal supplements.
It can alter drug-metabolizing enzymes and transport proteins, potentially reducing the effectiveness of certain prescription medicines. It can also contribute to excessive serotonin-related effects when combined with serotonergic drugs.
Do Not Treat St. John's Wort Like an Inert Herb
St. John's wort has documented or potentially important interactions with medications including:
- many antidepressants
- hormonal birth control
- warfarin and other anticoagulant therapy
- cyclosporine and transplant medications
- some anti-seizure medications
- digoxin and selected heart medications
- certain HIV medications
- some cancer therapies
- certain statins
- many other CYP3A-metabolized drugs
Taking Prescription Medication?
Because Vital Nightfall contains St. John's wort, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, melatonin, and several calming botanicals in the same formula, medication review matters substantially more here than with a simple melatonin product.
Using Hormonal Birth Control? Do Not Skip This Warning.
St. John's wort can reduce the effectiveness of some hormonal contraceptives through enzyme induction. Anyone relying on hormonal birth control should review this product with an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
What About Antidepressants and Serotonin?
This formula contains:
- St. John's wort
- 5-HTP
- L-tryptophan
Those ingredients make casual combination with serotonergic medication a poor idea.
Additional professional review is appropriate with:
- SSRIs
- SNRIs
- MAO inhibitors
- tricyclic antidepressants
- serotonergic pain medicines
- other drugs or supplements that substantially affect serotonin
Advanced Formula Means Advanced Responsibility.
Ten milligrams of melatonin plus a 14-ingredient proprietary blend is not the same thing as drinking chamomile tea before bed. Know the medication list. Know the formula. Then decide whether it belongs in the routine.
Is 10 mg of Melatonin “Better” Than a Lower Dose?
Not automatically.
Melatonin does not follow a simple:
more dose = more sleep
relationship.
The goal of melatonin supplementation is often related to circadian signaling and sleep timing rather than simply producing stronger sedation.
Vital Nightfall clearly contains 10 mg per serving, so buyers should know they are choosing a higher-dose melatonin formula rather than a minimalist low-dose option.
More Isn't Automatically Better.
Some people may experience next-day drowsiness, headache, dizziness, vivid dreams, or other unwanted effects from melatonin. If a lower-intensity sleep-support approach is sufficient, there is no prize for choosing the strongest-looking bottle.
What About the Vitamin B6 and Magnesium?
Each serving provides:
- Vitamin B6 — 1.8 mg / 106% DV
- Magnesium — 13 mg / 3% DV
- Calcium — 17 mg / 1% DV
Vitamin B6 provides meaningful Daily Value coverage.
But the magnesium amount is small.
Vital Nightfall should not be marketed as a magnesium supplement.
What We Are Not Going to Tell You
Vital Nightfall does not:
- cure insomnia
- guarantee deep sleep
- guarantee more REM sleep
- guarantee eight uninterrupted hours
- “reset” neurotransmitters
- automatically increase serotonin safely
- replace CBT-I for chronic insomnia
- replace evaluation for sleep apnea
- guarantee that you wake up refreshed
Don't Chase Sleep. Build the Conditions for It.
A sophisticated nighttime formula cannot permanently overcome late-night stimulants, irregular sleep schedules, untreated sleep apnea, alcohol-heavy evenings, a bright screen in bed, or too little time allocated for sleep.
Who Is Vital Nightfall For?
Vital Nightfall may fit adults who:
- want a comprehensive multi-ingredient nighttime formula
- specifically want a 10 mg melatonin serving
- prefer capsules over strips, gummies, or powders
- understand the formula contains St. John's wort
- have reviewed the formula against their medications
- want a more advanced option than a minimalist sleep-support product
Vital Nightfall May Not Be the Right Starting Point If...
You have never used melatonin, take multiple prescription medications, use antidepressants, rely on hormonal birth control, already take other sedating products, or simply want mild nighttime support. A more complex formula is not automatically a better first step.
Suggested Use
Adults: Take two (2) capsules once daily, approximately 20–30 minutes before bedtime, with 8 oz of water, or as directed by an appropriate healthcare professional.
Use only when you have adequate opportunity for a full night's sleep.
Do not exceed the recommended serving.
Safety Matters
Review this formula with an appropriate healthcare professional before use if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- are under 18
- take antidepressants
- use hormonal birth control
- take warfarin or another blood thinner
- take transplant medication
- take seizure medication
- take prescription sleep or sedative medications
- take HIV or cancer medications
- take multiple prescription drugs
- have bipolar disorder
- have liver or kidney disease
- have epilepsy
- are preparing for surgery
Don't Stack Sedation Blindly.
Avoid combining Vital Nightfall casually with alcohol, antihistamine sleep aids, prescription sedatives, or other heavily sedating nighttime products. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel impaired.

Which ProofMode Sleep Option Fits?
The simpler multi-ingredient capsule option when you do not need the broader Vital Nightfall formula.
10 mg melatonin + a 905 mg 14-ingredient proprietary nighttime blend. More complex formula, more interaction considerations.
Dissolvable sleep-support strips when portability and convenience are the priority.

Explore Sleep Pack →The Strongest-Looking Sleep Product Is Not Automatically the Right One.
Trouble winding down, circadian disruption, medication-related insomnia, sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs, and simply not allocating enough hours for sleep are different problems.
Explore Sleep + Recovery →Frequently Asked Questions
How much melatonin is in Vital Nightfall?
Each two-capsule serving contains 10 mg of melatonin.
How large is the proprietary sleep blend?
The proprietary blend totals 905 mg per serving. Individual ingredient amounts within that blend are not disclosed on the Supplement Facts panel.
Does Vital Nightfall contain St. John's wort?
Yes. Because St. John's wort has a significant drug-interaction profile, medication review is particularly important before using this formula.
Can Vital Nightfall interfere with birth control?
Potentially. St. John's wort can increase drug-metabolizing enzyme activity and may reduce the effectiveness of some hormonal contraceptives. Anyone relying on hormonal birth control should discuss use with an appropriate healthcare professional.
Can Vital Nightfall be taken with antidepressants?
This combination deserves professional review. Vital Nightfall contains St. John's wort, 5-HTP, and L-tryptophan, all of which make serotonergic drug interactions more relevant.
Is 10 mg of melatonin better than 1–3 mg?
Not necessarily. Melatonin does not have a simple dose-response relationship where more automatically produces better sleep. Individual response, timing, indication, and side effects matter.
Is Vital Nightfall a magnesium sleep supplement?
No. It contains only 13 mg of magnesium per serving, equivalent to 3% of the Daily Value. Magnesium is not the primary nutritional feature of this formula.
Can Vital Nightfall cause next-day grogginess?
It may. Melatonin and several calming ingredients can contribute to drowsiness in some people. Use the formula only when adequate sleep time is available and avoid driving or operating machinery if impaired.
Does Vital Nightfall treat chronic insomnia?
No. Vital Nightfall is a dietary supplement intended for nighttime support. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia — CBT-I — remains the best-supported first-line treatment for chronic insomnia.
Evidence + Safety Notes
NCCIH — Melatonin.
Melatonin is involved in circadian timing. Evidence supports selected circadian-related uses, but major clinical guidelines have not found enough evidence to recommend melatonin as treatment for chronic insomnia. Long-term safety information is also limited.
Review Melatonin Guidance →
NCCIH — St. John's Wort.
St. John's wort has a high interaction burden and can reduce the effectiveness of medications including hormonal contraceptives, cyclosporine, warfarin, selected seizure drugs, HIV medications, cancer therapies, and certain statins. It may also increase serious serotonin-related effects when combined with antidepressants.
Review St. John's Wort Safety →
FDA — Drug Interaction Reference.
FDA identifies St. John's wort as a strong CYP3A inducer, which helps explain why it can reduce exposure to multiple prescription medications.
Review FDA Interaction Reference →
NCCIH — Sleep Disorders + Complementary Approaches.
Evidence for L-tryptophan and 5-HTP in insomnia remains limited. Current sleep guidelines strongly favor CBT-I for chronic insomnia.
Review Sleep Evidence →
Advanced Formula. Clear Label. Serious Interaction Awareness.
