Evening wind-down often starts with how the body times sleep and how comfortable that bedtime transition feels. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #104 GERD-Sleep—Country Health’s melatonin, 5-HTP, and methionine capsule for bedtime use—and what NCCIH and NIH sources report about these nutrients.
Full ingredient list (per 2 capsules): Calcium (as citrate) 50 mg; riboflavin 5′-phosphate (vitamin B2) 1.7 mg; vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) 0.748 mg; folate (as L-methylfolate) 62 mcg DFE; DL-methionine 500 mg; L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) 100 mg; betaine HCL 100 mg; taurine 50 mg; melatonin 6 mg. Other ingredients: silica, magnesium stearate, gelatin (capsule). Suggested use: two capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, or as directed. Supplied: 60 capsules.
Melatonin is a hormone the brain produces in response to darkness; it helps with the timing of circadian rhythms and with sleep. NCCIH notes that melatonin dietary supplements may help with jet lag, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, and anxiety before surgery, and that short-term use appears relatively safe for most adults. A 2022 review summarized by NCCIH suggested melatonin can improve how quickly a person falls asleep and daytime sleepiness in people with insomnia. CHF #104 provides 6 mg melatonin per serving, timed for the label’s bedtime window so adults can pair a labeled melatonin dose with a consistent evening routine.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate on the pathway toward serotonin and, further along, melatonin. NCCIH’s sleep overview explains that dietary supplements containing substances that can be converted toward melatonin—including 5-HTP—have sedative effects, and that extensive analyses of several 5-HTP sources have not shown the toxic contaminants historically linked to a past L-tryptophan safety event. CHF #104 includes 100 mg 5-HTP alongside melatonin, giving readers a single bedtime capsule that brings both the hormone form and a pathway nutrient into one Country Health formula.
DL-methionine (500 mg per serving) is a sulfur-containing amino acid the body uses in methylation and protein building. Folate, vitamin B6 as P-5-P, and riboflavin 5′-phosphate appear in smaller labeled amounts that support B-vitamin pathways involved in one-carbon metabolism—NIH ODS notes folate’s role in nucleic acid synthesis and amino acid metabolism, and vitamin B6 is a common cofactor in neurotransmitter pathways. Together with betaine HCL and taurine, these nutrients round out GERD-Sleep’s evening profile beyond melatonin alone.
CHF #104 centers melatonin for circadian timing, 5-HTP for serotonin-to-melatonin pathway support, and methionine with active B vitamins for complementary nutritional coverage at bedtime. The suggested use—two capsules 30 to 60 minutes before sleep—matches how many adults prefer to take melatonin ahead of lights-out.
Who might enjoy it: adults building a clinician-guided evening stack that includes melatonin and 5-HTP, travelers adjusting to new time zones with melatonin support, and anyone whose provider agrees a labeled Country Health bedtime formula fits their routine.
Please check with your clinician first if you:
No. Supplements are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. CHF #104 is a dietary supplement with melatonin, 5-HTP, and methionine, not a prescription sleep drug.
6 mg melatonin and 100 mg 5-HTP per two capsules, plus 500 mg DL-methionine and labeled B vitamins.
The label suggests two capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, or as directed by a qualified health professional.
Ask your clinician before combining melatonin or 5-HTP with other sleep or mood supplements so total doses stay appropriate for you.
