Pure EncapsulationsMelatonin 0.5 mg - Natural Sleep Helper for Bedtime - Regulates Sleep-Wake Cycle - 0.5 mg Melatonin - Vegan & Non-GMO - 60 Capsules

Great product. I love the smaller dose and the fact it's not loaded / filled with unnecessary ingredients that are deleterious to your health. Every company should make their products PURE, but they don't, and won't. The Pure brand is fantastic. As for the effectiveness, this dosage works very well for me. I'm a longtime insomniac. The normal meds (lunesta, ambien, etc.) don't work at all for me. The only thing that's ever worked is Temazepam. The docs don't like giving that one out, and it's not good to take it often. Since using this product, I've had to reach for the Temazepam far less often, which is wonderful. 0.5mg really helps me nod off to sleep. I found taking more will help knock me out, but I would find myself waking up more often in the middle of the night. The 0.5mg is just right for me. Everyone is different, so use your own judgment. I def recommend going for this brand over any other, whether it's the 0.5mg or the 3mg delayed release, it's far better, safer, and more effective than the 5-10mg pills out there.

Tried the higher doses and always woke up 4 or so hours after going to sleep OR it would work for a few days and stop being effective. Got this and worked like a DREAM, literally. Sure the price is a bit higher but what price do you put on a good nights sleep? Plus, I’m a firm believer, you get what you pay for. Cheaper ones are higher dosage and lower quality and less effective. This one is the lowest dose and high quality and super effective. No brainer to me!!

I started using Pure Encapsulations Melatonin 0.5 mg on my doctor's recommendation, as this formulation has been used in clinical studies. I have delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, and I take it about 5.5 hours before bedtime to help regulate my circadian rhythm.While it doesn't make me feel sleepy right away, I've found that it really helps me maintain a more "appropriate" bedtime. It's been a useful tool in adjusting my sleep schedule gradually. One of the best parts is that I haven't experienced any side effects, which is always a concern with supplements.Overall, if you're looking for a melatonin supplement that's been clinically studied and can aid in managing sleep disorders like mine, this one is worth considering. Just keep in mind that it might not make you drowsy immediately, but it can help in setting a consistent sleep routine.

We started using Pure Encapsulations Melatonin 0.5mg when our grandson, who is on the autism spectrum, was around 8 ears old. He had always had a hard time falling asleep and would wake frequently in the night due to various fears. Melatonin was recommended by his naturopathic doctor and one 0.5 mg supplement each night was all it took to really help his sleep issues. As he got older (and having just turned 13!), we found that 1mg per night was needed. We never wanted to give more than necessary, so we tried two each night to equal 1mg. It worked wonderfully! On a night he doesn't have the melatonin, it takes him much longer to fall asleep due to the anxiety from fear, just as it was before the melatonin. Fortuitously, because melatonin is naturally produced by our bodies, it is not the same as someone taking a sleeping pill. He does not suffer any drowsiness upon waking. He just gets a good night's sleep! I would like to add that though there are many companies that sell melatonin, Pure Encapsulations earns it's name. It is truly pharmaceutical grade, not stuffed with unnecessary fillers AND the pills are veggie caps! This is very important to us, as our family is vegetarian. We didn't want to purchase products where the capsules are animal derived; yet, that is the case with capsules from many different companies. To my knowledge, Pure Encapsulations always uses veggie caps for its supplements and it is greatly appreciated. I would say that anyone looking for a melatonin supplement should definitely try Pure Encapsulations. I wholeheartedly recommend this product!!

I used so many Melatonin from different companies and I read about using a small amount to get you to sleep. It has worked wonders for me since I have problems going to sleep. I will buy again once I'm out.

I have tried other melatonin and I have to this stuff work great. Within 45 min I start relaxing and eyes start getting very heavy. I am at a stage in life were my hormones are out of sorts and started not been able to sleep about little over 2 months ago, as my sleep pattern would range from 2 hours to the most 5 with out sleep aid with this I been sleeping more than 7 hours. for the last 2 nights and each time I take it as well. It knocked me out where I fall asleep wake up with my light on in my room lol. The only down fall is fell groggy in the morning and have a hard time getting out of bed and I wake up with a slight headache. so I'm going to go without tonight and see if it helps. I know the last melatonin I took made me groggy in the morning as I hated the feeling, but it was not this brand. Maybe I just have a hard time with all melatonin I don't know so I'm going to try a few things. putting me asleep it does wonders for me!! 5 stars! that's why I did 4 starts because I'm not sure of the reaction I get with this in the mornings. I also know everyone is different too with responding to things. If melatonin work for you I would recommend this product to you as it works great.

It’s hard to find good quality supplements at such a low dose, especially for melatonin. But for me, more is definitely not better (it actually interferes with my sleep). So I was really happy to find this low dose pill from a trusted quality brand.

I was nervous buying this after it was suggested by my son’s Psychiatrist. He was taking 5 mg chewable melatonin and we wanted to try to use as little melatonin as possible. It’s amazing, this product really works and is pure as compared to other brands. It also works with your body to release natural melatonin. If we take one capsule around 6:30, we are ready for bed between 8:30/9.
