Natrol Dietary Supplements Melatonin Time Release 1 mg Tablet 90ct

I tried a bunch of melatonin products. This one is among those that make the most sense. 1mg is more than enough for healthy adults and the 0.5/0.5 split makes a lot of sense for falling asleep and staying asleep (or falling asleep again quickly). It also seems to work well in both regards. I also took medical slow-acting melatonin in the past, but 2mg simply made me too groggy the next day. This one works well. However, it took a few other side effects to emerge to make me read the label again. I didn't mind a bit added vitamin b6, but didn't realise it wasn't just a bit. It's actually a megadose of 10mg. For perspective: recommended daily intake is around 1.3mg out of all food sources (deficiency is rare). Upper intake limit by the EU has been set to 12mg, some national UIL are as low as 3mg. But even taking 10mg out of 12mg every night is ridiculous overkill. With this formula, it's really a drug against vitamin b6 deficiency with a bit of added melatonin. And sadly, b6 doesn't work as b12 or c where your body can get rid of it easily. Don't get me wrong, I get why it's in there, but 1mg would've been more than enough. And I wish it would just contain this much or maybe even just the melatonin, as I could easily take the b6 myself if I deemed it helpful. But in this shape, I can neither continue to take it myself nor recommend it to anyone else. Will definitely buy again (and write a positive review) if there is a time-release 1mg product with 0–1mg of vitamin b6. :)

Exactly what I needed. I'm not tired the next day like with the higher dose.

I thought that taking a 1 mg tablet , the lowest I’ve seen , would help with the groggy feeling in the morning but it didn’t. Quite possibly I just can’t take melatonin tablets. I did sleep well for the first two hours after taking it and the was in and out of a sound sleep until morning.

It took a few weeks for the Natrol to really start working. Once it did, I am sleeping longer at night and feeling more rested in the morning. I have a few strange dreams, but fewer and fewer of them. I believe it is the time release aspect that has made the difference for me.

The perfect amount, not too much, of melatonin to give a good night's sleep with time release.

It was for my 16 yr old autistic son. Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has never been a good sleeper and this product is a game changer for him and our whole family. No more sleepless nights for us with his constant up and down when he takes this Natrol Melatonin each night! Highly recommend for hours of sound sleeping!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never taken Melatonin before, so wasn't sure what to expect. These time release tablets helped me fall asleep faster. The best thing is that it helps me stay asleep -- no more waking up in the middle of the night. In the morning I feel rested. No sluggish feeling like with some sleep aides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I don't like taking medicines often or rely on them, sometimes you need a little something. Melatonin is natural so I feel comfortable taking it when needed. There are some nights that I just can't fall asleep and take these as needed. It doesn't take long for it to kick in for me and I have also noticed it helps me stay asleep throughout the night without waking which does happen to me often when I am not taking it. Overall, I recommend it if you are having trouble falling asleep at night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After taking these for two weeks I checked my sleep patterns on my FitBit for the two weeks prior. On average, I had less time awake each night and more time in deep sleep. It might not be scientifically accurate, but about 15 minutes less on awake and 12 minutes more in deep sleep. I think they help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep due to anxiety issues with all that's going on in the world. Usually I use melatonin to fall asleep but I don't necessarily stay asleep after taking it so I thought I would give this time release variety a try. I've been using these for a little over a week now and they seem to be working! There's no drowsy feeling in the morning either. I definitely recommend giving these a try if you need a little help in the sleep department.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] after taking for a couple weeks I've started to feel not so groggy the next morning...really love how quick it kicks in, definitely need bed within 20 minutes like it says...but definitely be cautious with first few days and the groggyness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had difficulty staying asleep or waking very early. I tried this melatonin because it was time released. Yeah! It has helped me stay asleep and wake up at a decent time. I have had no groggy or sluggish feelings in the morning. I feel like I am getting a good nights rest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These melatonin time release tablets work well. I work nights sometimes and it can be hard to adjust to sleeping during the day but these help a lot. I told my sister about them because she also flip n flops from night shift to day shift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pleasantly surprised. Usually I need 5-10mgs of Melatonin to feel tired, but with these I take one or two and feel the same effect. They must be high quality, if I'm getting the same effect with these, but taking less than I have previously with other brands. These work quickly and effectively, and keep me asleep for about a full night of rest, usually about 6.5 hours for me. I recommend these because they are small, but effective, and I like that they're natural.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to help me sleep through the night and it works great! I have been using this for about a week now and it really does help me make it through the night. I have issues with restless sleep but after taking this I am getting a full nights rest and feel much better in the mornings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this specific dosage for both myself and my children. It is the perfect amount to help us fall asleep. I sometimes need 2 mg, and it's nice to be able to use as much or as little of a dose as I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't want to need to take the 10mg doses like my husband to get to sleep, but 1mg doesn't always work for me. I tried this time-release and LOVED it! You could even see the difference in my sleep on my body tracker watch. I only have to use it once and a while to fall asleep, and it helps me stay asleep, without me feeling like I had to take a huge dose. I also felt a lot less groggy in the AM.

This works. It also helps to prepare for a good sleep beforehand. Best to take this at least 1/2 hour before sleep so it can help prepare you for a good sleep.

As I have gotten older, I find that I wake up too early. I take this time release melatonin along with lemon balm.
