Life Extension – Melatonin
Our melatonin supplements help support circadian rhythms, healthy and restful sleep, immune health and more while helping to inhibit oxidative stress.
Melatonin is a hormone derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Primarily synthesized in your pineal gland, melatonin is released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier. In addition to healthy sleep support, melatonin can help inhibit oxidative stress to promote healthy brain function, immune health and more.
Melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to quality of sleep. It also offers powerful protection against free radicals.

I started taking 1mg of melatonin about a year ago. After 1 month, I switched to Life Extension 500 mcg at bedtime and 300 mcg if I woke up at 2 am (every night) and was able to wean myself off to 300 mcg at bedtime. I stay asleep or can easily go back to sleep and on low dose I don’t feel groggy if I take a 2nd one at 2am.

You really don’t need a lot of melatonin to give you that extra sleepy mood to help you sleep better. I have found that between 300 and 500 mcg is perfect for me about an hour before I retire. I’ve tried 1mg, 3mg and 5mg capsules and got no added benefit from them, but everyone is different, so experiment with different strengths and see for yourself what works best.

It is a very useful quality product, especially in these difficult times. It comes in the form of very small tablets at an optimal dosage, which makes it easy to swallow. With certified non-GMO ingredients, it enjoys restful sleep. Melatonin has anti-inflammatory effects and boosts your immune system. Melatonin reduces tissue destruction during inflammatory reactions. Thus, melatonin can directly scavenge toxic free radicals and reduce macromolecular damage in all organs.

I’ve had trouble sleeping my whole life (over 60!), but her melatonin supplement was a game-changer. I now sleep better than ever. I alternate with this and glycine, which I also recommend. In my experience, this low dose (300 mcg) is best.

haven’t been well rested and recharged in the morning for a long time, I finally found a natural product that helps me relax and fall asleep after the intense days of work. In addition, in the morning, I wake up feeling full and rested, ready to face the day with energy. this brand is well known for its high quality products, no one should have a problem with the size of the capsule, for the dosage i only take one.

The size and quantity of this product is definitely worth the price. The benefit is to help me sleep well, the dosage should be right. Fortunately the taste is not so strong unlike the others. The quality is good and the ingredient. I also like the package. Great supplement.

was taking 5mg. melatonin gummies, then read that this is too high a dose to take physiologically. This 300 mcg dose is good. It (usually) helps me fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. It’s inexpensive, no added junk (like gummies and many other brands), and the capsules are nice and small. Will continue to buy.

ordered this product to see if it would help me improve my sleep. I have no problem falling asleep, but I wake up mostly tired. After taking one capsule, I felt lighter in the morning and even felt like my body hurt less. Thus, the minimum dose is enough to feel the effect. The capsute size and quality is so cute, it’s like a doll pill, I absolutely loved it. And the package contains so much, I feel like it would last me a long time!

This melatonin product is unique as the dosage is only 0.3mg which was perfect for my DSPS. Sleep doctors now recommend only 0.3 to 0.5 mg for DSPS. I took it 5-6 hours before bedtime and gradually advanced my sleep schedule. such a dose did not cause me excessive drowsiness. Higher doses caused me excessive sleepiness and even delayed my sleep cycle even more as it stayed in my system longer.

After reading an article that recommended a particular dose of melatonin, I was very happy to find exactly what I was looking for, listed at a reasonable cost on Ecosupplements. This has proven useful for myself as a migraine sufferer and for my grandson living with ADHD, who it has greatly helped with his insomnia. The delivery was very quick.
