NOW Foods Supplements, Melatonin 5 mg, Sustained Release, Formulated for a 4-Hour Release Period, 120 Tablets

I trust the Now brand’s product quality and they are affordable. I’ve been using their products for many years. I take melatonin every once in a while, when I can’t fall asleep or when I know I have to get up earlier than normal and I have to go to sleep. It starts working 30 or 40 minutes after I take it and it allows me to rest and relax. These really work for me.

These are amazing. I stay asleep all night and don't feel groggy the best day!

These work well. I will keep buying this brand going forward. The price was good too.

NOW has good products. The only problem is their tops, which they must think are a wonderful advance over traditional screw on bottle tops. After a while they dont close properly. Also, fishing out one tablet when your other hand may be holding a couple of other supplements can be challenging due to the top design. I buy NOW products more than any other and this top thing is always a problem.

Every brand or size of Melatonin always helped me to get to sleep more quickly. I am almost 83, and have read that old folks often need more melatonin than theire bodies produce. But my problem wasn't getting to sleep but staying asleep. The time-release version means more hours of uninrupted sleep (aside from bathroom breaks) and I have been getting up 30-60 minutes later than I used to. Some 3 mg time-release pills are also available, and a lower dose could be preferable for some people. This one does not leave me drowsy in the morning, but my wife preferes a lower dose.

Pills are physically small -- that's good. Advertises that time-release is for 4 hours; that's good -- most time-release brands don't state duration. 5 mg is a good starter dose for new consumers, and remains good for many longer-term users. I like that it carries Intertek certification -- Intertek is a well-trusted certifier, though more widely known in Europe than in the U.S. Too many supplements that are uncertified have contents not matching the label. I've bought more than once, and each time there was a substantial "discount" that made the price extremely competitive.

nice

These are small enough for me to swallow without any issues, and I don't like swallowing pills! I appreciate that Now Foods has a solid melatonin supplement I can use daily without any issues.
