Plant People expanded its range of gummies for kids with Wonder Sleep Kids, a formula designed to help children ages four and up wind down naturally before bed. The melatonin-free, sugar-free, pediatrician-approved formula is positioned as a solution where calm happens first, then sleep follows, and it's made possible by studied soothing ingredients like L-theanine, chamomile, lemon balm and glycine.
Equally important as the result it's designed to deliver, these plant-powered sleep gummies for kids share a chef-crafted organic wild elderberry flavor that sweetens bedtime routines. Optimally, these gummies are taken 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime to support a physical-wind down and natural onset of sleep without disrupting the body's own sleep rhythms or causing grogginess the next morning.
