We’ve tried and tested nearly all of Medterra’s products and have yet to find something we didn’t like.
Even with high expectations, these capsules didn’t let us down. They combine a simple synergistic blend of CBD and the sleep hormone, melatonin, to support the process of falling asleep and staying asleep through the night. Medterra got this one just right.
At 25 mg of CBD, and 10 mg melatonin, this is one of the stronger sleeping supplements we’ve seen in the CBD category. Some of us even find it only takes about half a tablet to produce the effects we were looking for.
Long story short, this is one of our top-rated supplements for supporting sleep. We recommend keeping a bottle of this stuff around for those nights spent tossing and turning or taking it along on international trips where jetlag is likely to be a problem.
These tablets come at an incredible value overall. One of the best metrics to compare the price of different CBD supplements is the cost for every milligram of CBD included in the formula. For this particular product, this cost is around $0.07. For comparison, most CBD capsules of this quality are closer to $0.12 per mg of CBD.
At 25 milligrams of CBD per tablet, these are on the high-end of the spectrum.
Additionally, these tablets are designed for sublingual absorption, which both improves the onset of effects and the amount of CBD and melatonin absorbed by the body — making them even stronger than comparable products in their category.
Medterra is one of the few companies that grows its own hemp. This gives the company the ability to exert strict control over the way its hemp is grown, stored, and processed.
The brand prefers to use organic farming practices and test each batch after harvest and after it’s converted into the final product. Medterra uses unbiased third-party labs to conduct this testing fairly and post the results publicly on its website.
The only way Medterra could score higher in this category is by achieving USDA certified organic status — something we hope to see in the near future.
This product has one specific purpose in mind and provides both the dose and formula to back it up.
At 25 mg of CBD, and 10 mg of melatonin, along with a rapidly absorbing tablet this product is perfectly suited as a sleeping supplement.
This product only comes in one variation — a 30 capsule bottle with 25 mg CBD and 10 mg melatonin per tablet.
Although we’d love to see larger bottle sizes, it may not be necessary. The price of these tablets are already below average, so there’s no need to offer larger bottle sizes to cut costs. If you want more than a month supply, you can simply order a few bottles.
The formula used to make these products is the best selling point of this product. As you’ll find from reading this review, we truly love the formula Medterra put together to make this product. It combines the delicate and complex synergy of CBD and melatonin with a rapidly dissolving tablet base to provide the effects of these compounds as quickly as possible.
Medterra CBD, LLC is a privately-held company based out of Laguna Hills, California. It was founded in 2017 and has quickly become one of the premier CBD manufacturers operating out of the United States.
Medterra makes a number of CBD products in different categories — including topicals, capsules, tablets, tinctures, and gels. Some of its products contain simple CBD extracts, while others (like these Liposomal CBD+ Good Night Capsules) are formulated for a specific purpose.
All Medterra products are made using its proprietary blend of broad-spectrum CBD. It’s made by isolating each cannabinoid from hemp and recombining them in specific ratios along with other compounds such as aromatic terpenes.
This allows the company to produce products that act like a full-spectrum extract, but it allows the company to guarantee these products to be free of the psychoactive cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
These capsules are specifically designed to help people get to sleep. It may be useful for people with irregular sleeping patterns, travelers experiencing jet lag, and people experiencing chronic stress keeping them up at night.
For best results, we recommend taking these capsules along with some simple lifestyle changes as well:
One of the best points about this supplement is the cost. Medterra is a large company and therefore has the ability to buy its hemp in massive quantities — ultimately reducing the cost to manufacture its products.
A bottle of these capsules costs $54.99 and includes about 30 capsules. These capsules are designed to be taken in increments of either half a capsule or 1 full capsule per day — which means that each bottle will last about 1–2 months.
This brings the cost per capsule to around $1.83 — about the cost of a cup of tea.
CBD supplements are expensive, especially if you want something of any real quality. This formula is impressive, so the cost of CBD is going to be slightly higher than average. However, the value is incredibly high.
If you were to go out and buy sleeping capsules, you’re going to spend the same or more whether you buy pharmaceutical sleeping pills or other herbal supplements.
Melatonin alone is much cheaper, but it isn’t going to be nearly as effective as this CBD and melatonin combination.
These capsules are also cheaper than a lot of other CBD tablets or capsules on the market.
One metric we like to use to compare products is determining the cost per milligram of CBD. These capsules clock in at around $0.07 per mg of CBD, which is well below the industry average of about $0.12. Some capsules on the market cost as much as $0.18 per mg of CBD.
Overall, these capsules come at an incredible value.

One of the main questions you need to ask when buying CBD capsules (or any CBD products for that matter) is the potency of the CBD in the formula.
These capsules come with 25 mg of CBD per capsule — which is on the high end of average when it comes to CBD products.

The other active ingredient to be aware of is, of course, melatonin. In this particular formula, the dose of melatonin is 10 mg per capsule — which is definitely on the high end.
Some people find lower doses of melatonin work better for promoting sleep compared to higher doses — so you may need to play around with the dose to see what works for you.

One of the best factors that make Medterra stand out above the competition is its hemp source.
Medterra plays a big role in the cultivation of the hemp used in its products by owning and operating a series of farms in Kentucky, USA. This allows them to be a true “seed to bottle” manufacturer — It can oversee the entire process from growing, to extraction, to bottling.
This allows the company to keep tight control over the quality of its products.
This is contrasted by most of the other CBD manufacturers on the market that buys their hemp from outside farms. This works fine in most cases but makes it difficult for the company to control what happens to the hemp before it ends up in their labs.
The only area we believe Medterra could improve its hemp source even further is through obtaining USDA certified organic status — something that’s only recently become a real possibility thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill.
We can’t give the company too much flack for this because almost nobody in the United States has actually achieved certified organic status to date — but we hope to see Medterra achieve this in the near future to make its hemp truly bulletproof in terms of quality in our books.
These Liposomal CBD+ Good Night Capsules earn full points in this category.
They’re designed with a specific purpose in mind and have been specially formulated to excel at sleep support.
We love seeing products that have been formulated with synergistic ingredients to do the job to the fullest extent possible.
Of course, CBD is a good sleep supplement, but on its own, it lacks depth. Combining the supplement with other ingredients that support this focus makes the results significantly more pronounced.
Well done on this one, Medterra.
Medterra ships internationally — at a cost. Depending on where you are in the world, you’ll likely have to pay an additional shipping fee to have these products shipped from the United States.
However, these supplements are small, and the rates are seldom more than $15 per order.
Keep in mind that this formula contains melatonin, which is considered prescription-only in countries like Australia and New Zealand. We don’t recommend ordering these products if you live in either of these countries, as Medterra won’t provide a refund for orders confiscated at the border.
Additionally, if you live in Canada, you won’t be able to order anything from this company either. The Canadian government recently legalized cannabis but keeps tight control over the sale of oral supplements. These laws are scheduled to change at the end of 2019, but no specific information on what these changes involve has been released.
These capsules have a relatively simple formula of CBD and melatonin — two compounds that work together to support both the onset and maintenance of sleep.
At 25 mg of CBD and 10 mg of melatonin, you’ll likely only need one or half of one capsule to get the job done.
These capsules are unique in that they’re designed to dissolve beneath the tongue — releasing the active ingredients along with a pleasant spearmint flavor. Under the tongue, they’re absorbed by thousands of tiny capillaries into the bloodstream — producing significantly faster onset of effects (5-15 minutes compared to 30-45 minutes when swallowed).
For best results, we recommend combining this supplement with other lifestyle changes to support a healthy night’s sleep. The best solution to sleeping problems is a multifaceted approach — focus on winding down before bed, avoid screens or electronics in the evening, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and practice regular sleeping patterns.
