Your body likely produces enough melatonin for its general needs. However, evidence suggests that melatonin supplements promote sleep and are safe for short-term use.
People with insomnia, jet lag or other conditions that disrupt sleep can benefit from a supplement like this, increasing the melatonin present in their body.
Melatonin supplements add to the naturally occurring amount of melatonin in the body, helping to induce sleep onset.
Take 30-60 minutes before bed time.
~5mg is recommended as the starting amount, with most needing somewhere between 2-5mg to see the benefit; the maximum recommended is 10mg per night.
