are the pills safe melatonin

I believe the pills are safe. I have used them; they just don't help me with my insomnia. I have not found a melatonin that does though so I would not let that deter you from trying this. It was recommended to me by a co-worker who swears by its effectiveness.

My general practitioner - who is very anti- supplement - has ok'd melatonin. So I think it's generally considered safe. I find in higher doses it does not help me as much as say 3mg, in a time release format. Good luck, nothing like a good night's sleep. I find these Schiff's help me for about 6 hours.

melatonin, up to 10-20mg (not a typo--if you use anything smaller than the 3mg pills, it becomes a slightly absurd quantity of pills to swallow at once). After a few nights you'll find that the intense dreams leave you looking forward to having regular sleep again instead, but as a once in a while thing it's stunningly awesome.

They are not chewable, the pills are made of cellulose and water, but drink them with a glass of water, and you should be ok. The results are well worth the little difficulty swallowing the pills.

GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin. Label dosage did nothing for me, needed more, then was drowsy the next day. Better to eat dried cherries.

My wife says no. She continues to take them even after she gave birth. She loves them and is super excited that she doesn't have to take a pill.

They are solid pills thankfully not capsules. Hope this helps. Please if we can help we will

That's disturbing info about natural melatonin. But of the 3 brands I have onhand here (Now, Natrol, and Natural Factors), none state what the sources are, or whether they're natural or synthetic.

I've tried melatonin over the counter and it worked better than lunar sleep plus the price is ridiculous. I think it's nothing but a ripoff.

It is 2mg of Chammomile and .5 mg of Melatonin. It really helps my almost 4 year old on night she is just really hyped up- No need for everyday but it works!!

Says on the back: Proprietary Blend 253mg GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin You can ask them directly at questions@lunarsleep.com, I use 1/2 a tablet when I awake in the middle of the night to fall back asleep. Works fine for that and no after effect in the morning.

The nature made multi vitamans for her are hard pills. Don't know about any gelcaps. I have taken these daily for a few years now. No problems for me.

A serving is 2 tablets. A serving contains 3 mg of melatonin. I suppose 1 tablet would be 1 1/2 mg of melatonin. A serving also contains 30 mg of 5HTP and 200 mg of Suntheanin L-Theanine.

Depending upon the brand and the individual taking melatonin, the effects can last up to 12 hours. Most people will do best if they take melatonin an hour or two before they intend to go to bed. Everyone is different so it may be wise to try this on a weekend night to see how you respond.

Pretty sure it is safe. The active ingredient that makes you sleepy is the same one used in Nyquil, and if there was something wrong with Nyquil I think we would have all heard about it. I've experienced no side effects except that sometimes I am still groggy the next morning.

The pills are not that big. I would say they are the size of a normal antibiotic capsule. They are nowhere as big as a fish oil gel capsule. I think you would be safe.

I would say yes. My husband takes them at different times of the day when he needs his sleep. He does take two each time due to his weight and wanting to sleep.

I'm pretty sure the box says its for ages 2 and up. My son is 14 months and I feel safe using it occasionally for him because the dose of melatonin is so low though.
