Why I Don’t Recommend Melatonin Supplements

Why I Don’t Recommend Melatonin Supplements

October 1, 2022 By Paul

Historically speaking, physicians and specialists have recommended melatonin supplements for simple scenarios like jet lag, and for more serious situations like chronic insomnia. Unfortunately, some research has pointed to these over-the-counter supplements as being quite ineffective. For instance, researchers pulled a large number of common melatonin brands off the shelves to evaluate their makeup. Most of them showed to have much less of the amount of melatonin in each capsule as they originally indicated. They also found impurities in most brands that they couldn’t fully identify.

Key Takeaways:

  • Although higher doses of melatonin may aid users in falling asleep more quickly, this effect seems to hit a plateau at five milligrams.
  • Over 31 brands of melatonin were analyzed in terms of their ingredients, and the majority of them did not contain the dosage that they claimed.
  • Many over-the-counter brand of melatonin were also shown to include various impurities that could not even be identified upon further research.
