Life ExtensionMelatonin, 300 mcg, gentle sleep support, healthy circadian rhythms, cellular defense, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegetarian, 100 capsules

The dosage is perfect to just trigger the process of producing melatonin. My doctor suggested to give this dose a try as the other ones we've were just too much and made us sleepy the next day or not work at all.

I was consuming 5 mg of melatonin every single day, but then I lowered my dose to this product. It did take me some time to get used to it, but after I did, I was extremely thankful. I never woke up groggy, I never woke up feeling like I could use some extra sleep. It was always the right amount. I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to try out, melatonin for the first time.

I didn't realize all these years that melatonin isn't supposed to be consumed so heavily. As soon as I found that out, looking for 500mcg pills were the next issue. I think 100mcg would work as well, but these work as intended for a couple of us who have a hard time shutting down for the night. Take 1 pill within 2 hours before head being on pillow. Sometimes it doesn't take that long for me.*Note: This review does not justify if the dosage really is 300mcg, as each manufacturer can vary.

I took one of these pills before my nightly shower. After getting into bed, I was asleep in record time. Roughly 15 minutes after getting into bed, according to my smartwatch. A dramatic improvement over the 2 hours that it normally takes me.But throughout the night, I experienced VIVID dreams. Nearly life-like. It started off with a nightmare where I was beating people up for no reason..? It got so intense that I woke up in the middle of the night, but then promptly fell back asleep upon realizing that it was just a dream.After falling asleep, I promptly slipped back into the land of dreams, where I had a much more pleasant dream; cuddling with a classmate. I woke up that morning in a state of bliss.Anyways, this product really does the job. It helped me to get my sleep schedule back on track, and I had some... Interesting dreams, in the process. Highly recommend, especially if you're a lucid dreamer.

Like the smaller dosage, however it did not enable me to sleep a full 6 hours without waking. Will keep it on hand though as a "fall back" when needed. Ordered the 500 mcg and will try that to see if it helps to keep me sleeping at least another 1-2 hours. I took this capsule 1 hour prior to going to bed, no tv, computer just reading. Cannot wait to try the 500 mcg.

Excelente para conciliar el sueño.

Melatonin has NEVER worked for me. I tried 5mg for a while and it always left me restless. I would toss endlessly to fall asleep just to find myself awake nearly every hour throughout the night just exhausted. I found some research articles suggesting that lower doses are more effective and decided to give 300mcg a try. Amazing. It doesn’t make me feel sleepy, but as soon as I close my eyes I’m 100% out. Literally within a few minutes. It has been a game changer for my sleep. Everyone’s sleep needs are different and there are many variables that can affect sleep, but I’d recommend at least giving it a try if the average 3-5mg never worked for you.

Highly recommended to try.I took one pill 2 hours before I wanted to go to bed and it worked gently like a subliminal suggestion. I wasn't too sleepy but gone were my normal bedtime urges to watch a favorite tv show from the DVR or part of a movie. Or, on my tablet I had no urge to read just one or two articles or play a game for a just few mintues. Any of these activites usually turns into an hour or more of screen time.With this pill I actually had the opposite urge to avoid screens which felt great. This urge was not a conscious decision but more like thinking of eating a food which is not appealing to eat at the moment. I fell asleep within a half an hour of going to bed.The reason for 3 stars is I did not stay asleep for more then 3-4 hours. I tried the pill again one more night to the same effect. My doctor recommended I double the dosage after chuckling at the small dosage. She was regularly taking 5mg of melatonin herself but two of these make me feel weird and didnt help me sleep any better. I recommend avoid taking more than one pill. I agree with the bottle - "Do not exceed recommended dose." I decided to stop after three tries because I was weary, and I still am, of taking melatonin.Normally before bed I will watch tv or on my tablet read or play games. I'll continue for a few hours until I start nodding off and waking up a few times. I'll stubbornly try to finish what I'm doing before eventually giving up and putting the tablet down or turning the tv off and falling asleep.My brain is usually very active in the early morning. Ideally, I would go to sleep at midnight, wake up at 8 am and work from 9 am to 7 pm. I'm late 40s and 225 lbs. Since my teens I have had trouble going to bed early (10 am), waking up early (6:30 am) and feeling refreshed enough to avoid 2+ hour afternoon naps. I have the option to work normal hours but usually I work noonish to midnight based on my wake up time. If I try to wake up earlier (7 am - 9 am) I will be yawning and dozing off in the early afternoon which perpetuates my late sleep cycle. When I wake up at noon or later I feel great and feel the endorphins but the problem is my day is starting at noon or later! I'm a light sleeper so sometimes I'm in the bed for 10 hours to get 7-8 hours of sleep. Noises and light wake me up easily.Right now it's 5:39 am and I've been typing this review for about an hour. I've been sleepy for the past 2 hours and dozed off once already with the tv on but I wanted to write this review! What lead me here was a sleep aid commercial on tv and looked at its reviews here on Amazon. This pill came to mind which I tried 3 years ago. I saw there was an slow release version so I ordered it. I had a strong urge to leave a review before going to bed so here's the review. I powered though which is a frustrating acquired skill.Yes, everything sleep is messed up for me. Another reason I'm trying the extended version is because last year I had insomnia for the first time based on lots of things going on at work and at home. One part of my brain would be wide awake after 3 hours of sleep but the rest of my brain was still off. As soon the issues passed I was back to my normal sleep late, broken sleep, wake late routine. I hope the extended version helps me fall asleep earlier and stay asleep.
