Understanding Melatonin

What is Melatonin?

Who should take these supplements?

What are they good for?

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in your brain that helps regulate your sleep/wake cycle. When the sun sets and it gets dark outside, your levels of Melatonin rise, signaling to your body that it’s time to go to sleep. However, exposure to light, especially blue light from TV and mobile devices, might hinder your body’s production of Melatonin.+

If you experience occasional sleeplessness, you might consider a Melatonin supplement, as it’s a drug-free way to help support your rest. Melatonin can be especially helpful for anyone navigating sudden changes in sleep/wake cycles due to jetlag or nightshift work.+

When taken an hour before bedtime, Melatonin supplements may help you fall asleep faster. If you want to wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, occasionally supplementing Melatonin can help you get those restful ZZZs.+

USP Verified Melatonin
It’s silly to comment on the efficacy of melatonin in a product review—to the extent this supplement has been researched, controlled studies do not support supplementation for the most common sleep issues (at best, you may find that you fall asleep a few minutes faster than you would).That being said, this is a fairly harmless supplement, but (as with any supplements) talk to your doctor. And sleep is complicated so, if it’s subjectively helpful, it’s a no-brainer.…I like this Nature Made 3mg tablet version because, at this price point, I know I will get a bottle that has a paper seal on it and, more importantly, is USP VERIFIED (see attached photo for the USP label).Since we don’t regulate OTC supplements in the US (at least not as we do with other medications), it’s essential to have at least SOME independent third-party evaluate the product.I’m not saying it solves all the problems, but it’s better than taking a manufacturer’s word alone, so I greatly appreciate that the 3mg Nature Made Melatonin has this seal.Also note: if you’re new to Melatonin, you can try splitting the pills in half as the average person probably doesn’t need 3mg.But, again, that’s just a suggestion—not medical advice. Sleep well!

I occasionally get jet lag and stay up all night working and can't get back to my normal sleep cycle. I previously just drank enough alcohol to force myself to sleep normal hours again, when I wasn't tired. This, unfortunately is not very healthy and sometimes gives me a headache. My daughter, who is a pharmacist, told me about melatonin so I tried some of hers and it worked wonderfully. I bought this product because it was the most reasonably priced and was in a small 3mg tablet size so I could try small doses and work up in does by small increments if I needed it. So far 3mg puts me to sleep really well.

We asked our pediatrician if it melatonin was safe for our son, who was unable to sleep through the night. He said there doesn't seem to be any long term harm and its fully metabolized (so, out of the system) after about 4 hours. I got the lowest dosage pills I could find - these - and used a pill cutter to give my then 6 year old son 1.5mg at bedtime. It was like magic - he started sleeping through the night, and we didn't see any bad effects (including addiction - he can still sleep without them, though it can take longer.)

After a while I added them to my nighttime routine too, also cut in half, and they worked for me too. These days, a few years later, we don't cut them in half so my teenage son and I take the full 3mg. If I wake up at 2 AM and work/politics/finances/family is keeping me up, I take another if there are still 4 hours before I need to wake up. It always helps.

This is not meant to replace a medical consultation - if you have a real problem sleeping and these don't help, see a professional. But as a gentle aid to healthy sleep, these seem safe and effective.

This melatonin sleep aid is a game-changer! As someone who struggles with sleep, I've tried countless remedies, but nothing compares to this. It's gentle yet effective, helping me fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night. I wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, without any grogginess. Plus, it's non-habit forming, so I can use it whenever I need without worry. Thank you for finally giving me the restful nights I've been craving!

Size: 240 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
The human body naturally produces Melatonin as part of the processes leading to sleep. An area of the brain called the superchiasmatic nucleus detects falling light levels, leading to an increase of Melatonin in the brain, and sleepiness. This can be thrown off through the use of artificial lights, by shift work, jet lag, staying up later on weekends, etc. For those who are having regular difficulty falling asleep, lowering the lights an hour before bedtime may help to raise Melatonin enough to overcome that problem. At other times, it might be helpful to take a Melatonin supplement like this one.
As always, it is important to communicate with your physician. It is also possible to check for interactions using apps like epocrates. I have never come across interactions with Melatonin. Researchers keep working, though, so what is true today could be a little different tomorrow. Currently, Melatonin is being investigated as potentially helpful across a wide variety of disorders, may of which are associated with age. Those who are interested might wish to look that up. A very conservative starting place is the NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Disorders. That website will not jump ahead on anything too quickly, so if you are interested in the very latest developments then keep going through the scientific literature.
What to expect with Melatonin: This dose of 3 mg is convenient as it is going to work quite well for most people These are solid tablets. If you have never taken Melatonin before, then you could use a pill splitter to try out a 1.5 mg dose or so, and see how that goes. Most people will go on to the 3 mg dose. However, there are some people who may find that they do not seem to clear the Melatonin easily, and then using this may leave them sleepy in the morning. That is not the usual response; those who have morning drowsiness are few and far between. If it happens to you, and you have allowed for a good long sleep ("normal" is 8 or 9 hours per night), then do cut back or stop use and figure out why it is affecting you in that way, because that should not be the case. If you tried to get away with a short sleep, well, you are part of the human race so for your own better health it's best to figure out how you can get those 8 or 9 hours. Many people who have told me that they have too much to do so that is impossible, find that they function so much better that once they are getting enough sleep regularly, they are still able to get everything done. If you are allowing those 8 - 9 hours to sleep and still find that Melatonin leaves you groggy in the morning, then it may take the help of medical professionals to figure out if there is some interaction, genetic anomaly, or... ?
Using Melatonin is by far much safer than taking pharmaceutical sleep medicines. There is no comparison! For example, the genetic zolpidem that is sold under Am_bien and other names has been found to substantially raise the risk of multiple cancers (risks begin to increase after only 3 doses), it only adds about 20 minutes of sleep, and it interferes with memory so what actually happens is that patients do not remember the sleeplessness, and think that it works better than it does. The memory problems often extend to other things, too. An internet search of the generic name already given here will take you to that research; add the word "cancer" if you want to know more about that unfortunate effect from pharmaceutical sleep medication. It should be included in the inserts that patients receive; sadly, it is not! Melatonin is not a pharmaceutical; it is what your body produces in order to sleep, so it is great that we can have it on hand to boost the levels when that is needed.
Finally, down to the particulars of this brand. I've tried it, and find that it is a good quality product. It arrives with a clear seal over the cap that comes off with no difficulty (just twist the cap and it will go). Do watch for that safety seal, though. So far, mine have also arrived with an inner removable flat seal and some cotton. It does take Melatonin a while to work. It will vary depending on whether your stomach is empty, etc., and with use you'll learn how much leeway to allow. I find that I should take it about 45 - 60 minutes before I would like to sleep. Then it will provide me with a "sleep window" of about an hour during which I can fall asleep. If I get busy and work past it, then I can miss that window. I tend to get busy, so it is helpful to me to set a timer or a reminder on my phone to go to bed. I've had this on subscription for a while; that has allowed for extra savings. I am needing to take this less and less often, though, so when I realized that I can change my subscription I thought that I might provide this information in case it will be helpful to someone else. Take care, and sweet dreams!

Tried melatonin a few times before, had trouble with really bad dreams, tossed the stuff out. Thought I would give it one more try, this time at a lower dose, ordered NatureMade 3 mg . Worked wonderfully last night, went to bed early, slept 7 hours straight, had a vivid dream, only this time it was one I would like to have again. LOL. Not groggy at all this AM. I'll take it again tonight and see how it goes . Am going to try the 4 milligrams extended-release melatonin ( NatureMade ) , would like it to last a little longer before waking up . Have been using Costco sleep aid, Doxy Succanate , good product, but am out of it when get out of bed, only lasts 4-5 hours , some nights it just doesn't work. Can order it at Amazon if you want to give it a try , it may work well for you . UPDATE: This NatureMade 3mg does put me to sleep , lasts maybe 51/2 hours , 6 hours max , tried extended release 4mg , same thing . Last night I woke up at about 330 AM , took second 3 mg , slept until 9 AM . No more groggy this morning than I usually am . I'm old ( er ) now , nothing works like it used to .

night shift worker that needs some sleep help. I use intermittently so my body won't start to rely on this supplementation. This was not designed to be flavorful- it's easy to swallow and serves it's purpose. Could not find locally (sold out I think) but it shipped quickly and I was able to use when needed.

Yes, this 3mg melatonin really helps me sleep. I've been taking Tylenol PM for probably 20 years. I'm up to one and a half Tylenol pills every night. That is 3/4 of a dose. I wanted to stop taking it so I tried this Melatonin. I've been taking 3mg Melatonin and half of one Tylenol PM for 4 nights. I'm sleeping just fine. I will next stop taking the Tylenol and just take the Melatonin. I'm hopeful that I can stop the Tylenol completely. Note: I tried Melatonin 10mg a few years ago and I felt just awful the next day. Apparently that was just too much for me.
