Natrol Melatonin 3 mg Time Release, Dietary Supplement to Minimize Wake Ups, Nighttime Sleep Aid, 100 Tablets, Up to a 100 Day Supply

I purchased this melatonin here because I had a hard time finding the specifics of what I needed in the store for a while. The taste was fine to non existent. It did what it needed to do for me. The shipping and package quality of this was good. It didn’t arrive in a dented box or with a broken seal.

LOVE these. Used to use regular 5mg (1-2 tabs per night), which would let me sleep pretty well but would be drowsy/sluggish the next morning and day. Decided to try the lower dosage slow release and it is SO MUCH BETTER than higher dosage and I don't wake up feeling groggy in the morning. Good night's sleep with them too.

My absolute favorite melatonin product. I have used several different ones, but the time release quality helps me go to sleep, stay asleep, and not awaken groggy. Highly recommend

Work as they should

Muchas gracias, buen producto, creo que luego necesitaré uno de larga absorción. Desde Costa Rica, PURA VIDA

This has been my new go-to sleep medicine. I tried using regular 1mg melatonin, but woke up after 4 hours. The extended release of this medicine keeps me asleep for a good 7-8 hours. A bonus when ADHD brain and postmenopausal hot flashes keep trying to wake me up!

No idea what is going on with the quality control on this product. Two years ago the product tasted and looked very different. The second bottle i got seemed like something changed as the texture and taste was slightly different, and now a third bottle the texture and taste is VERY different. Now it was a lot more chalky .The ingredients on the labels looked identical so no idea why it is so different. The first two bottles at least the sleep felt the same. Sleep has been much worse on this third bottle.So i don't know how much i trust this product with such big changes to the product and nothing being reflected on the packaging.You're milage may vary

I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. The best solution I had found before trying this product was the prescription medication Zolpidem (Ambien). However, I had been advised by my doctor that it can be addictive and often requires an increased dosage to continue to be effective. I also tried Sleep Aid, which you can get here on Amazon Kirkland Signature Nighttime Sleep Aid (Doxylamine Succinate 25 mg), 96-Count Tablets (Pack of 2) or you can get directly from Costco. I also wrote a review on these, in which I explain that I found them to be surprisingly effective, but almost too powerful. They caused me to feel very groggy when it was time to get up and face the day.I tried this option at my doctor's suggestion (he suggested melatonin, not this particular brand, by the way). He told me that melatonin is something that the body produces naturally, but as we get older it tends to produce less of it, therefore making sleep more difficult. He suggested that I start out with one 3mg tablet, and if that didn't work, to increase it to two, and then if that didn't work, to try three, and if that didn't work, to forget it. Well, I never had to go past one 3mg tablet.I take one pill 30 minutes to an hour before I go to sleep. They do not "knock you cold" into a deep sleep, so if that is what you are after you'll be disappointed. But, for me, they do make me drowsy and make it easy for me to fall asleep. I am not so sure about the time released feature that this particular brand boasts, but they do tend to keep me asleep at just the right level. What I mean by this is if, for example, I had to break out of my sleep for whatever reason, it would be easy for me to do so. I suppose the best way to describe its effect is that it pushes you into a "normal" sleep pattern.Lastly, as other reviewers have written, taking them also makes me dream much more, thus it puts me into a deeper realm of sleep, thus allowing me to get a deeper state of rest. I do feel more rested after taking these than I do after taking Ambien.Keep in mind that this product, like most medications or supplements, will affect different people in different ways, so how they affected me may be quite different than how they affect you. But, nevertheless, I wanted to share my own experience in case it might help you make a purchasing decision. Good luck and I hope this helped!
