CINCINNATI--()--Getting a good night’s sleep is hard to come by these days, especially when the daily stresses of life keep you up. In fact, a survey by Harris Poll on behalf of Vicks® ZzzQuilfound that two-thirds of Americans say they have trouble falling asleep at least once a month. Additionally, only 9% report that they always feel well rested when they wake up1.

As America’s #1 selling sleep-aid2, Vicks ZzzQuil is providing new options people can feel good about taking to get those much-needed Zzzs. Vicks is introducing four innovations – Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Liquid, Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs De-Stress & Sleep, Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Beauty Sleep and Vicks PURE Zzzs Kidz Melatonin Gummies – to the PURE Zzzs product line-up.

These unique innovations give individuals access to drug-free, non-habit forming products that help people fall asleep naturally*. Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs products contain no artificial flavors and are drug-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, and gelatin-free.

While consumers have had an overwhelmingly positive response to ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs, “we’ve also been working hard behind the scenes to deliver more innovations specifically tailored to their needs,” said Phil McWaters, Brand Franchise Director, North America Vicks. “We know there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to sleep, but believe these extensions to the PURE Zzzs portfolio will help.”

  • Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Melatonin Liquid: The new, non-habit forming liquid that helps you fall asleep naturally and wake with no next-day grogginess*. The fast-acting formula also includes the same unique botanical blend and the great-tasting Wildberry Vanilla flavor as the Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies. The new liquid is free of high-fructose corn syrup, lactose, artificial flavors and alcohol.
  • Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs De-Stress & Sleep: The new, non-habit forming blend of melatonin to help you fall asleep naturally, plus Ashwagandha to help your body manage occasional stress and calm your mind*. This product is mindfully formulated with the ancient power of Ashwagandha, a popular adaptogenic herb from 5,000 years of Ayurvedic tradition. The product is available in Blackberry Vanilla flavored gummies or tablets.
  • Vicks ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Beauty Sleep: The new, non-habit forming product that helps you fall asleep naturally and fight oxidative stress at night*.
