Under FTC guidelines, testimonials must reflect the typical consumer experience, which may be difficult to substantiate for such a strong claim."}, { ext": "There was a base of 200mg of magnesium bisglycinate and gluconate and 200mg of L-theanine... 0.3 mg of a bioidentical phytomelatonin", "type": "nutrient_content", "risk": "low", "timestamp_approx": "0:27", "citation": "FDCA Section 403(r) (nutrient content claims)", "notes": "States the specific amounts and types of ingredients in the formula.
