Vicks ZzzQuil now offers a range of different drug-fre sleep options that contain no artificial flavors, gelatin, lactose or gluten. Some of the innovative new products to support falling asleep naturally include solutions that address adjacent issues to sleep like next-day grogginess, stress and beauty sleep.

While consumers may have become familiar with the Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs [Melatonin Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtime-gummies), they can now enjoy the same Wildberry Vanilla flavor in the Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs [Melatonin Liquid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeevanaa), which is free from high fructose corn syrup. The Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Beauty Sleep is a non-habit forming solution that combats oxidative stress and fights free radials, and the Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs De-Stress & Sleep calms the mind and body with adaptogens like the [stress-regulating herb ashwagandha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bionaturehealth-speed-sleep).
