A Nebraska husband-and-wife team has launched a melatonin-free sleep gummy designed and manufactured right here in the state. Brik Sleep Gummies (BrikSleep.com), created by co-founders Scott Utech and Tessa Porter, a candy scientist and longtime pioneer in the gummy vitamin space, offer peptide-powered sleep support without the grogginess often associated with melatonin-heavy supplements.
Formulated with PeptiSleepTM, a plant-peptide ingredient engineered to support the body’s natural sleep cycle, Brik Sleep Gummies aim to help adults fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. Porter, a pioneer with over a decade of experience in the gummy vitamin space, was exploring peptide applications when PeptiSleepTM was brought to her attention.
“We weren’t trying to start a sleep gummy company, we just tried something that worked shockingly well,” said co-founder Scott Utech. “Once we experienced it for ourselves, we knew we could offer a melatonin-free option that supports rest naturally.”
The founders officially launched the brand in early September, just one week before their wedding. Nationally, melatonin has dominated headlines, with more than 10,000 melatonin-related news stories published since Nov. 1 and new research trends sparking consumer search surges and questions around long-term use.
Brik Sleep Gummies are dye-free, contain no artificial sweeteners, and are gluten-free, designed to fit within a nightly ritual rather than a quick-fix mentality. Brik Nutrition plans to expand its product offerings under its “Build Your Stack” approach, adding additional sleep and wellness solutions over time.
