Carbamide Forte Melatonin vs NOW Foods Melatonin 5mg

# Verdict NOW Foods Melatonin wins with a 9.5/10 versus Carbamide Forte's 7.9/10, despite costing ₹3.29 more per serving. The scoring gap comes down to **dosing precision**. NOW Foods provides 5mg of pure melatonin—the clinically optimal dose for most adults. Carbamide Forte delivers 10mg, which scores lower (7.3 vs 10.0 in Dosing) because research shows doses above 5mg increase next-day grogginess without improving sleep quality. This explains NOW's perfect 10.0 Formula score versus Carbamide Forte's 6.7. Carbamide Forte adds Tagar (250mg) and Vitamin B6 (1.9mg) to create an Ayurvedic-Western hybrid, but this combination hasn't been studied together, reducing its Formula rating. The addition does give it superior value at ₹9.98 per serving (8.4 Value score). **Choose NOW Foods** if you want evidence-based dosing and are willing to pay 33% more. **Choose Carbamide Forte** if budget is priority and you prefer Ayurvedic ingredients alongside melatonin, accepting that 10mg may cause morning drowsiness. Both brands score perfect 10.0 for transparency in labeling.
