> It decreases the score.

Yes DECREASE instead of INCREASE. What I was going for in my head was "improve" I guess. Thanks for pointing that out.

> B6 as P5P

Don't forget it's one of the few nutrients that accumulates and that you can get too much of. It causes nerve damage and mystery sores.

> melatonin 4 mg

That's probably too much:

The P5P form harms less if in excess. This is in contrast to the default form which is pyridoxine. I have found 20 mg of P5P twice daily to be quite useful for keeping stress spikes in check.

Regarding melatonin, newer data up to 2024 in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38888087/ confirms that 4 mg is an optimal dose for sleep. For a discussion, search for this article on r/FoodNerds.
