Composition reference

What is actually in it, and at what dose.

For prescribers, neurologists, psychiatrists, pharmacists and therapists whose patients ask about supplements. A consumer asks whether a supplement works. You ask what is in it, how much, what it interacts with, and whether the label can be trusted.

The disclosure position

Stated plainly

One Proco product discloses every active at its individual amount: Sleep Formula. That is the only one that qualifies, and we won't claim otherwise about the range.

Two more have nothing to hide because they are effectively single-ingredient: Omega-3 and Magnesium Glycinate.

Two do not: Cognitive Support and Sleep Support. Both carry proprietary blends. In September 2026 our manufacturer confirmed that the individual amounts inside those blends cannot be published. There is no timeline for that changing, and we have stopped saying there is one. If you need to know the dose of a specific active in either of those two products, we cannot tell you, and neither can anyone else.

We think you should know that before you consider suggesting either.

Product by product

What is in each one

Sleep Formula

Fully disclosed
ActiveAmount
Valerian extract (root)150 mg
Chamomile extract (flower)100 mg
GABA100 mg
L-Tryptophan100 mg
Lemon balm extract (Melissa officinalis)100 mg
Passion flower extract100 mg
Melatonin2 mg

Gelatin capsule with brown rice flour — not vegan. 60 capsules; the amounts above are per two-capsule daily serving. No proprietary blend — every number is on the panel.

Disclosure is not dose adequacy

This product shows the difference plainly: chamomile is 100 mg against the 800 mg/day used in the trial we cite, and lemon balm is 100 mg against the 1,600 mg at which its clearest acute effects appeared. The point of publishing every number is that you can see that for yourself.

Omega-3

Fully disclosed
ActivePer softgelTwo softgels
Fish oil1,000 mg2,000 mg
EPA180 mg360 mg
DHA120 mg240 mg

Also contains vitamin E. Softgel is gelatin, glycerin and water — not vegan. 100 softgels, one softgel twice daily.

Allergen

The label declares Contains: Fish (sardines, anchovies). Two species, not one — worth knowing for a patient with a species-specific fish allergy.

Magnesium Glycinate

Fully disclosed
ActiveAmount
Elemental magnesium (65% DV)275 mg
from magnesium glycinate2,500 mg

Per three-capsule serving. 90 capsules, so 30 servings. One active.

Hypromellose capsule; other excipients are magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and rice flour. We do not claim vegan status: the magnesium stearate source is not stated on the label, so we can't stand behind it.

Cognitive Support

8 of 10 undisclosed
ComponentAmount
Niacin (as niacinamide)8 mg NE
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl)5 mg (290% DV)
Proprietary blend — 8 actives255 mg total

The blend contains eight actives: GABA, L-tyrosine, caffeine, Bacopa monnieri, phosphatidylserine, alpha-GPC, L-theanine and huperzine A. Ten actives in total, two disclosed individually, eight not.

Gelatin capsule with brown rice flour — not vegan. 30 capsules, one capsule daily. Two sourcing details that come up: the phosphatidylserine is 20% from sunflower, not soy, which matters for a soy-allergic patient; the huperzine A is a 1% Huperzia serrata extract.

The blend arithmetic settles the dose question

The Bacopa meta-analysis used standardised extract at 300–450 mg/day. The alpha-GPC trial used 315 mg or 630 mg. The L-theanine and caffeine trial used 100 mg + 50 mg. Every one of those figures is at or above the entire 255 mg blend, which holds eight ingredients. So whatever the individual amounts are, several of these actives are necessarily present well below the doses that were studied. We can't tell you the numbers, but we can tell you that much from the label, and a prescriber can reason from it.

Three further things a prescriber should note. First, the blend contains caffeine at an undisclosed amount — we cannot tell you how much, and we won't characterise it as small or large, because we don't get to describe a number we won't print. Second, it contains huperzine A, a cholinesterase inhibitor, also at an undisclosed amount. Third, 5 mg of B6 is 290% of the US Daily Value.

Sleep Support

14 in blend
ComponentAmount
Vitamin B61.8 mg
Calcium17 mg
Magnesium (3% DV)13 mg
Melatonin10 mg
Proprietary blend — 14 ingredients905 mg total

Hypromellose capsule. Contains magnesium stearate of unstated source, so as with Magnesium Glycinate we do not claim vegan status.

All 14 blend ingredients are named on the label, even though none carries an individual amount: L-tryptophan, lycium, chamomile, lemon balm, passion flower, L-taurine, hops, St John's Wort, GABA, Chinese skullcap, L-theanine, ashwagandha, inositol and 5-HTP.

Read the interactions section before suggesting this one

The two that matter most clinically are St John's Wort and 5-HTP, and they are the reason this product needs a prescriber's attention rather than a patient's judgement.

Three further things. The magnesium is 13 mg, three percent of the Daily Value and a token amount; if a patient wants magnesium this is the wrong product and our Magnesium Glycinate delivers 275 mg elemental. The melatonin is 10 mg, five times Sleep Formula's 2 mg and above the roughly 4 mg where pooled trial data puts the peak effect on sleep onset. And a naming trap worth knowing: the blend is printed on the label as the "Sleep Formula Proprietary Blend", which is an internal label name and has nothing to do with our separate Sleep Formula product. The two are different formulas with different ingredients.

Vitamin B6 across the range

If a patient is stacking

EFSA reduced the tolerable upper intake for vitamin B6 to 12 mg/day in 2023, down from 25 mg. The US Food and Nutrition Board upper limit remains 100 mg.

A patient taking both Cognitive Support (5 mg) and Sleep Support (1.8 mg) reaches 6.8 mg/day — about 57% of the EFSA limit from these products alone, before diet or any other supplement. Inside the limit, but not roomy, and worth knowing if a patient is stacking.

Interactions and cautions

The most important section on this page

These are the label-level cautions we think matter most in practice. They are not a substitute for your own reference sources.

Read this before anything else — Sleep Support

It contains St John's Wort and 5-HTP, both at undisclosed amounts inside the blend.

St John's Wort induces CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein and reduces plasma levels of a long list of drugs. The label specifically names hormonal contraceptives, anticoagulants, antidepressants, anti-rejection medication — ciclosporin and tacrolimus, where the documented outcome has been acute rejection of a transplanted organ — HIV medication, anticonvulsants used in epilepsy: carbamazepine, phenobarbitone and phenytoin, with a stated risk of breakthrough seizures — and triptans taken for migraine, sumatriptan and naratriptan.

5-HTP carries serotonergic interaction risk with antidepressants, triptans and other serotonin-affecting agents.

A patient on an SSRI, an anticonvulsant, a triptan, a transplant regimen, warfarin or a combined oral contraceptive should not be taking Sleep Support without your input. The product page carries this warning, but a patient browsing for a sleep aid may not read it as a contraindication, and the amounts are not published so there is no way to reason about dose.

The rest, in rough order of how often they come up:

  • Omega-3 and anticoagulants or antiplatelets. The antiplatelet effect is real. Worth a conversation before combination, and before surgery.
  • Huperzine A in Cognitive Support. Cholinergic activity, undisclosed dose. Relevant if a patient is on a cholinesterase inhibitor or an anticholinergic.
  • Caffeine in Cognitive Support. Undisclosed dose, so it cannot be added to a daily caffeine total. Relevant to anyone on a stimulant, anyone with an arrhythmia, and anyone taking it later in the day.
  • Ashwagandha and GABA in Sleep Support. Both undisclosed amounts. Relevant alongside sedating agents and, for ashwagandha, thyroid medication.
  • Melatonin 10 mg in Sleep Support. Relevant alongside any other sedating agent, and the two sleep products should never be combined — 12 mg of melatonin in one night.
  • Magnesium and drug absorption. Magnesium can affect the absorption of some medicines; separation in time is the usual approach.
  • Patients on psychiatric medication. We say the same thing to every patient who asks: talk to the prescriber first. We would rather lose the sale.
What we don't have

Stated so you don't have to ask

No published certificates of analysis. None. If anyone cites batch COAs for Proco, they are wrong.

No named testing laboratory, no accreditation scope, no NSF, USP or Informed Sport enrolment. We do not describe our products as third-party tested, because we cannot point you at a certificate.

No gluten-free statement on any Supplement Facts panel. Two product pages — Omega-3 and Magnesium Glycinate — display gluten-free, lactose-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, non-GMO and corn-free badges, and Omega-3 additionally a "no fillers" badge. Cognitive Support and Sleep Formula show only non-GMO; Sleep Support shows none. Those badges are not backed by a published certificate or a named accreditation, and we would rather tell you that than let them stand as certifications.

Two of five products are vegan — Sleep Support and, on the capsule alone, Magnesium Glycinate.

No Rx products, no diagnostics, no clinical services. These are food supplements. Nothing we sell diagnoses, treats, prevents or cures any condition, and nothing we sell is a substitute for assessment or treatment.

What we don't claim

And why we are telling you this

We don't make disease-treatment or diagnostic claims for any of these products, and we won't, regardless of what a patient has read elsewhere.

Where the evidence for an ingredient is weak, mixed or confined to populations unlike your patient, we say so in our writing rather than leaving it out — including when that argues against buying from us. We have published corrections on 82 of our own posts after auditing them, and we would rather you found that out from us than from the posts.

Two reasons for this page, and the second is self-interested. The first is that a prescriber asked a dose question we couldn't answer, and the honest response was to publish the gap rather than describe around it. The second is that we would like clinicians to feel able to point patients at us without worrying what they will find. That is only possible if the composition is on the table — including the two products where it isn't complete.

If you want something here we haven't published, ask. If the answer is that we don't know, that is what you'll get.
