Watch out
- Sedation-sensitive users should check how it affects alertness.
- Medication context still matters for calming supplements.
Label traps
- Focus blends may include caffeine even when the front label emphasizes calm.
- Relaxation claims may not say whether the product is meant for daytime or night use.
