Nature Made Melatonin 3mg (240 Tablets)
by Nature Made
"240 USP-verified melatonin tablets at 3mg — the #1 pharmacist-recommended sleep aid at under $12 for 8 months of better sleep"
Overview
Nature Made Melatonin 3mg provides the standard dose of melatonin in 240 USP-verified tablets. Melatonin is the hormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). The 3mg dose is considered the optimal starting dose — research shows that 0.5-3mg is effective for most people, and higher doses don't necessarily improve sleep onset. Nature Made's USP verification ensures the tablets contain exactly 3mg (important because independent testing has found melatonin supplements can vary by -83% to +478% from label claims).
