Greetings, this is Rick with Brilliant Dreams. I saw this thread in our website referrer logs and wanted to reply regarding the question of ingredients.
First, regarding the question of B6 and melatonin. Yes, if you search the forums here or google these factors, you will find that many people believe they help with lucid dreaming. They can be found online or are usually available at your local nutrition store or pharmacy. I have heard that melatonin can be difficult to acquire in Canada.
Regarding Brilliant Dreams:
Brilliant Dreams should not be considered a miracle 'lucid dreaming pill'. In fact lucid dreamers are a relatively rare group, most people are not even aware of how incredible very vivid/ memorable dreams can be, much less lucidity. Brilliant Dreams is targeted at that wider audience of individuals that we feel are missing out on wonderful dream experiences because they rarely have very vivid dreams or do not often remember their dreams. Our goal is to help change that.
Here are my notes on the ingredients of Brilliant Dreams Dream Enhancement:
Lycoris Radiata nutrient extract - galantamine (4mg): This is an FDA approved natural herbal extract from the bulb of the red spider lily plant. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (see our science page for details) and the known medicinal properties date to the time of the Greek poet Homer, roughly 3000 years ago. It is approved to treat Alzheimer's Disease since it has been clinically shown to improve memory and recall, in this case, dream recall. It is also clinically shown to have an amazing side effect... very vivid dreams in many of those taking it, versus those taking a placebo.
Choline and Vitamin B5 (100mg, 50mg): These nutrients are the precursor and cofactor to the body's production of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a beneficial neurotransmitter; acetylcholinesterase is the breakdown mechanism for acetylcholine. This combination of encouraging acetylcholine production (choline + B5) while inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (galantamine) is what improves dream recall and promotes more vivid dreams.
Melatonin (0.5mg): Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that promotes restful sleep and REM sleep. In this way, it has been shown to lead to greater dream frequency and longer dream duration. This may include increased REM sleep just prior to waking, a time when it is easier to remember dreams.
Our science page includes the cited references to medical journals and publications.

Best regards and may all your dreams be Brilliant,
Rick
