Melatonin is a hormone involved in the timing of the body's sleep-wake cycle. This dietary supplement provides the strength and dosage form identified below.
Product details
Product and pack: Natrol Melatonin 3 mg Fast Dissolve, Strawberry, 90 Tablets.
Choosing this formula
Compare the amount of melatonin per serving and the format. A 3 mg quick-dissolve tablet, a 5 mg softgel, and a 10 mg capsule have different strengths and handling directions. A higher strength is not automatically a better choice.
How to use
Follow the exact bottle's directions for amount, timing, and whether the product is swallowed or dissolved. Do not add extra doses during the night or combine sleep products without reviewing the ingredients with a healthcare professional.
Before use
Melatonin can cause daytime sleepiness, dizziness, headache, or nausea. Ask a clinician before use with medicines, particularly blood thinners or seizure treatment. Consult a child's clinician before giving melatonin to a child; pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data are limited.
Can I rely on melatonin for ongoing insomnia?
Evidence and long-term safety information are limited. Persistent sleep difficulty deserves assessment of its causes and a broader sleep plan rather than repeated increases in supplement strength.
Keep the bottle closed, follow its storage directions, and keep out of children's reach. Check complete ingredients and expiry before use. Read NIH's ingredient background and safety information. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
