Stasis Kids Nighttime comes in a melatonin-free option and a low-dose 1 mg melatonin option, so parents can choose based on their child's needs, their own comfort level, and their pediatrician's guidance. Both share the same nutrient base, so the real decision is whether to include melatonin at all.
The options differ by format and by whether melatonin is included. The nutrient foundation stays the same across all of them.
| Option | Format | Melatonin |
|---|---|---|
| Melatonin-free gummy | Gummy (strawberry and tropical) | None |
| Melatonin-free capsule | Capsule | None |
| With-melatonin capsule | Capsule | 1 mg |
Every option is built on magnesium glycinate, zinc glycinate, vitamin B6 as P5P, and vitamin C. The melatonin, when included, is an addition on top of that base, not the base itself.
Melatonin is the body's own sleep-onset signal, a messenger the brain releases as it gets dark to say it is time for sleep. Low doses have been studied in children, including children on stimulants whose natural sleep timing tends to run late. In one open-label pediatric trial, a 1 mg dose taken before bedtime supported longer total sleep time over four weeks (open-label trial in children and adolescents, Children, 2023). Stasis Kids Nighttime uses 1 mg specifically because the research in children supports a low dose that works with the body's own biology rather than overriding it.
Parents land in different places on melatonin, and both instincts are reasonable. Some prefer to avoid it entirely, or to start with the nutrient base and see how their child does. Others are comfortable with a low dose to help with sleep timing. Because the melatonin-free options carry the same magnesium, zinc, B6, and vitamin C base, a family can support their child's wind-down without melatonin if that is their preference.
This is a good question to bring to your child's pediatrician, especially for a child on a stimulant. It helps to weigh your own comfort with melatonin, your child's specific sleep pattern, and whether you would rather begin with the nutrient base alone. Whichever you choose, take it 30 to 60 minutes before bed as part of a consistent routine.
Which option is melatonin-free? The gummies are melatonin-free, and there is also a melatonin-free capsule. The 1 mg melatonin option is a capsule.
Do both options have the same other ingredients? Yes. Magnesium glycinate, zinc glycinate, vitamin B6, and vitamin C form the shared base across the options.
Can I switch between them? Many families start with one and reassess with their pediatrician. Keep any changes consistent and give a routine time to settle.
