I used to use this melatonin and switched to other brands (whatever was cheapest at CVS) over the last few years. Then I came across labdoor.com which rated this one as the best melatonin in terms of quality, purity, and effectiveness so I switched back and I think I have been falling asleep easier/faster. I feel better knowing an independent lab tested this brand and found it to be pure.
I bought the Nature Made brand because I've used some of the other supplements they make before and have never had a problem. I chose 3mg because I'd never taken Melatonin before. It takes two of these to put me to sleep. I take it about an hour and a half before bed and they definitely work for me. I don't wake up in the middle of the night or feel drowsy in the morning. If I try to stay up because I get involved with some activity I get really cranky and have to go to bed. I don't take them every night only when I need them. My stomach is extremely sensitive and they do not bother me. I haven't come across any side effects so far.
I got a deal on another brand of melatonin a few months ago and figured they were all the same. I noticed that I was having more trouble sleeping on the other stuff but didn’t think much of it. I normally bite the 3mg NatureMades in half and tried that with the other brand but resorted to using full pills and still being restless.
I recently switched back to NatureMade and HOLY COW is this stuff better! I’m back to half a pill (1.5mg) each night and I fall asleep quickly and sleep like a rock! Never switching again.
Hold, hold up let me explain.
I am, as far as I know, quite healthy. I woke up after a dream in which I had stepped off to use the bathroom. I HAVE NEVER PISSED MYSELF BECAUSE OF A DREAM not since I was a child. I went to sleep at around 12:30 am (a little early for me), took a glass of water [I do that so I can wake up early when my body needs to use the bathroom (i always do this, and it always works)] and I woke up at 6:25 am with piss in my pants! Thankfully I didn't wet the bed but seriously too weird. I suggest not taking the full 3mg. I gave it 4 stars because I was able to go to sleep a little earlier than most times, I did have some dreams that I remembered even after the piss, and I was definitely drowsy when I woke up but as I'm writing this (ten minutes later) I am wide awake.
Our little dog, a purebred Toy Poodle, has Alopecia X. After some research, I read about melatonin therapy. I needed 3 mg tablets (1/2 tab 2 x a day) and knew I needed to brand that didn't have fillers in it. This has been wonderful. She's been on melatonin for 10 weeks. New fur is coming in. She is no longer naked and her new fur is soft and luxurious! She will be taking it for another 3 months

Description
Getting proper rest helps you function during the day. Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland that helps to reset the body’s natural biorhythm, or sleep/wake cycle. Supplemental melatonin taken one hour before bedtime may help to support sleep.†
this is amazing. wish i heard about it before. recommended by my pharmacist. works like a charm!!! ordered it on amazon cus it was cheaper. makes me sleep like a baby (i have insomnia). take it and go straight to bed without touching any electronics, you'll fall asleep in like 15 min.
I’ve had trouble sleeping all my life. I would stay awake for hours even when I was really tired. I used to hate that feeling of wanting to sleep but can’t quite get there. Ever since I’ve been taking these pills, I fall asleep and stay asleep all night. These have changed my life and sleep schedule dramatically. Honestly don’t know what would happen if I stopped taking these... but I guess I don’t really have to find out.
I use this almost nightly to sleep. I don't wake up groggy so I'm guessing it's a good dose. Melatonin can give some people really, really trippy dreams. I'm surprised it isn't illegal. It sells for more than twice the price at our local supermarket!
I have had issues with insomnia for as long as I can remember. I hate taking prescription pills every single day (Lunesta) so I take melatonin most days of the week and my prescription medication if I am still not able to fall asleep. I know that there are much larger dose pills out on the market but I usually am fine with a single 3 mg pill each night. They absolutely do help reset your body clock so that you can get tired enough to fall asleep.
I have been an insomnia sufferer from 20 years of night shifts. I was looking for something that would help me that would not have serious side effects or be addictive. At first, maybe a week, I felt dizzy just as I was sleepy enough to fall asleep. That did go away with time. I have sun sensitivity/allergy and rosacea plus overly sensitive eyes, so I am not a sun lover. I don't know if this works for me bc I am deficient in melatonin or if it will work for someone who gets lots of sunshine, but I am thrilled I found help. No smell or taste. Only complaint is it is a dry pill and although I have zero trouble swallowing pills, these tend to stick to my throat a bit. My nightly snack is a protein drink, so I just swallow the pill and follow with that. I would say it is worth a try.
