Melatonin 5mg

5mg is more melatonin than most people need. Research shows 0.5-3mg often works better. Break these in half. At $4 for 120 tablets (or 240 half-doses), this is absurdly good value. Just remember: more melatonin doesn't mean more sleep.

6.5/10
GOOD

5mg melatonin is higher than most people need (0.5-3mg is effective). Studies show lower doses often work better. But at $4 for 120 tablets, you can break them in half. Walmart's sleep bestseller.
