Natrol Fast Dissolve Melatonin 1 mg, Sleep Support for Adults

We call these "Sleepy Vitamins" in our home:) The kids ask for them because of how calm they feel as they prepare for bed. We use the 1 mg fast dissolve melatonin almost nightly to help our kids fall asleep gently and stay asleep through the night. They are sugar free which allows us to give them to them after they've already brushed their teech. They taste "really good" per our children, and smell like candy, so keep them in a safe place, or get the bottles that have child proof lids. The 1 mg strength is perfect for children (ours are 4,4,5,8,10 years old) but you can stack the mg if you feel that more is needed. We have used these for years because of the efficacy and ease of use. If you want your big kids to continue sleeping like babies, this is the trick! And, melatonin is a natural hormone, so I feel good giving it to my kids knowing it's supporting their own melatonin hormone production.

Fast dissolving. Good taste. Works well on helping to get to sleep.

I'm 40, but have been dealing with sleep problems since I was about 14. I have a sleep disorder that means I struggle...a lot...with sleep. I've done multiple sleep studies, tried numerous RX sleep aids, OTC sleep aids, OTC antihistamines, RX antihistamines, muscle relaxants, beta blockers, alcohol, CBD, using RX stimulants in the morning...working with multiple therapists...walking my clock forward, walking my clock backward, strictly maintaining my sleep schedule, using sleep deprivation to try and reset my circadian rhythms (under the guidance of a sleep doctor), using bright light therapy, restricting blue light sources after 5pm, restricting ALL light sources after 5pm, using exercise and using meditation over the last 20+ years in various combinations to try and correct this problem. Compounding the situation is the fact that I sleep walk and sleep talk somewhat frequently. Sleeping is the bane of my existence. If someone told me they could wave a magic wand and give me 10 million dollars or fix my sleep issues, I would chose sleep over money. I've tried using melatonin in the past, but the sleep doctors at the time had me taking a larger dose (about 10mg) 60-90min before lights out. They have also had me try using time release melatonin - all to no avail. In fact the larger the dose of melatonin the WORSE my sleep usually got. Back in January 2023 I started seeing a new sleep specialist. He put me on a different combination of RXs, but on top of that, he asked me to use a very SMALL dose of melatonin (0.5 to 1.0mg) roughly 5 hours before bed. Over time, we've been walking back the time I take the melatonin by 15min every 1-2 weeks. For the first time EVER, I've gone 4.5 months with just 1 sleep walking episode, no car accidents, no oversleeping...just NORMAL sleep!!! Some of this is because of his guidance, but a LOT of it is due to this product. Everything else that I'm taking (the RX sleep meds) are things I've taken with very limited success in the past. Taste wise, this is a pretty delicious chewable strawberry flavored tablet. It's a little more tart than sweet. The consistency is reasonable and fairly soft. The taste is good enough that a number of times I've been tempted to have more than one - just because they ARE that tasty and enjoyable! So you combine a product that is VERY affordable, tastes really good, has a tolerable consistency AND WORKS WELL - there literally is no downside to this melatonin supplement. My advice is just to stick to the small dose size, take it 5-6 hours before you want to be asleep and give it a few weeks of consistent use to see if it works for you, too.

I really like this melatonin because the 1 mg dose is gentle but still effective. The fast-dissolve tablets melt easily and start working pretty quickly, which helps me fall asleep without feeling groggy the next day. The flavor is pleasant, and it’s super convenient to take without water. Great option if you want a light, reliable sleep aid!

Melantonin has never been effective on me, but I have terrible sleep disorders that wreak havoc on my body so I’m willing to try anything to get to sleep. I decided to try a dissolving melatonin and this is what I ended up going with. MAGIC. It tastes fruity (if you have ever taken oral zofran, it’s almost exactly the same. I daresay pleasant to take) and works FAST. I always underestimate how fast—within five minutes, maybe less—it works, has me nodding off on the couch so I have a very small window of time to get to bed before I “lose the sleepiness”. For like $6 it’s a good thing to have on hand. I personally can’t take it every night or else I build a tolerance and it loses its effectiveness, so I rotate through two different regimens every three or so days. I’m dead serious, gummy melatonin and the normal pills aren’t nearly as effective as this. No stomach upset, a small amount (1mg) goes a LONG way. Less is more.

Excellent Product. It works well

I’ve taken the pills of the same dosage before this n find them to be more effective. These just don’t seem to be working for me.

Not the first time i order! But ….. this time i ordered 2 and both bottles came with crushed bills!!! Most of them are just powder!!! Really horrible! Wonder if it is shipping or this is a second grade production which is sold like this with lower price! Never again!
