Shoppers comparing sleep gummies are usually deciding between two approaches: a precise melatonin micro-dose, or a larger conventional dose. Hush is built for the first approach — exactly 0.35 mg of melatonin per gummy, paired with L-theanine, reishi and passion flower, in a cream tin of 20 gummies where one gummy is one serving.
It is third-party tested, made in the USA, $40 a tin, and backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you want a nightly wind-down that leans on botanicals and uses melatonin as a timing cue rather than a blunt instrument, that is the design Hush was built around.
Melatonin is a timing signal, not a sedative
The single most useful thing to understand before you buy any sleep gummy is what melatonin actually does. It is a hormone your body releases as light fades, and its job is to tell your system that night has arrived. It is a message, not a knockout. Once that message has been delivered, adding more of it does not make the message louder — it just leaves more circulating hormone in your system than the signal required.
That is why the melatonin number matters more than anything printed on the front of a pack, and why it ranges so widely across the category. Some sleep gummies are formulated around a large melatonin dose as the headline feature. Hush takes the other route entirely and treats melatonin as one precise input inside a wider formula. The amount per serving appears on every compliant supplement facts panel, and it is the one line worth finding first.
If you want the longer version of this argument, we wrote it up in how much melatonin you actually need.
What 0.35 mg is doing in Hush
Hush contains 0.35 mg of melatonin per gummy. That number was chosen deliberately, not rounded down for marketing. It sits in the micro-dose range — enough to act as a clear evening cue, small enough that you are not flooding your system with hormone every single night for months on end.
Precision matters here in a way it does not in most supplement categories. With a vitamin, being generous is usually harmless. With a hormone signal, more is simply a different thing, not a stronger version of the same thing. A tightly specified micro-dose is what lets a sleep gummy make sense as a nightly habit rather than an occasional rescue.
It also changes what the rest of the formula has to do. If melatonin is not carrying the whole product, the other ingredients cannot be decorative.
The three ingredients doing the rest of the work
L-theanine
An amino acid found naturally in green tea, L-theanine is the calm-without-drowsiness ingredient. It is what people reach for when the problem is not tiredness but a mind that will not stop narrating. In a sleep formula it does the job melatonin cannot: quieting the mental noise that keeps you awake even when your body is ready.
Reishi
Reishi is the mushroom most associated with evening use in traditional practice, and it is one of the six mushroom extracts we also use in Eternity, our mushroom gummy standardized to 40% beta-glucans. In Hush it anchors the formula on the adaptogenic side — supporting the transition out of a stressful day rather than acting on sleep directly.
Passion flower
Passion flower is one of the oldest botanicals in the Western calming tradition, and it remains a staple of nighttime teas and tinctures for a reason. It rounds out the formula with a gentle, familiar relaxation profile that pairs naturally with the other two.
Four disclosed actives. No proprietary blend hiding the amounts, no filler list padded out to look impressive on a shelf.
Format and serving: what a tin of Hush actually is
Hush comes in a cream tin of 20 gummies. One gummy is one serving, so a tin is 20 servings — the math is deliberately simple, and it is the same math whether you are checking your supply on a Sunday night or deciding how many tins to order.
That one-to-one structure is not an accident. When a serving is one gummy, the number on the panel is the number you take, and the cost per night is a fixed $2 that cannot be quietly restated by a two- or three-piece serving. It is the least ambiguous way to sell a gummy, so it is the way we sell ours.
The tin itself is a practical choice too. It lives on a nightstand without looking like a pharmacy bottle, keeps light out, and travels without cracking in a bag.
Testing, sourcing, and what you are entitled to know
Every Hermetica formula is third-party tested and made in the USA. Third-party testing means an independent lab — not us — verifies what is in the product, which is the only version of that claim worth anything to a shopper.
Hush answers the three questions that actually decide whether a supplement claim means anything. We publish the amount of every active ingredient. We say where the product is made. And an outside lab checks the batch before it ships. All three answers are on the tin, not buried in a footnote.
A note on expectations. Supplements support a routine; they do not override one. Screens, late caffeine, alcohol, and an irregular bedtime will outmuscle any gummy on the shelf. Give any sleep product a consistent week before you judge it, and talk to a healthcare professional if sleep problems persist.

Price, and the honest way to think about cost
A tin of Hush is $40 for 20 servings — $2 a night if you take one gummy every night. That is a premium price in a category that spans a wide range, and we would rather explain it than dodge it. You are paying for a specified micro-dose, three supporting actives at disclosed amounts, and independent testing on every batch.
Two things soften the arithmetic. Shipping is free on orders over $60, so adding a second tin or a pairing product carries the order past that line. And subscribe and save lowers the per-tin price, with cancel anytime. If a nightly routine is the goal, subscribing is simply the cheaper way to run it.
How to run your first week
Take one gummy about 30 to 45 minutes before you intend to be asleep, at roughly the same time each night. Consistency is what makes a timing signal useful; a dose taken at 10 p.m. one night and 1 a.m. the next is sending contradictory information.
Dim the room while it works. Melatonin is a light-driven signal, so a bright screen fifteen minutes later is actively arguing with the gummy you just took. If your evenings need more structure than that, our bedtime routine guide is a practical place to start, and a cup of caffeine-free Cozy adaptogenic chai makes a decent ritual to hang the habit on.
After seven nights you will know whether the formula suits you. If it does not, the 30-day money-back guarantee is there for exactly that, and our wider 2026 sleep gummy guide covers what else is worth considering.
