Pure Encapsulations Melatonin 0.5 mg - Natural Sleep Helper for Bedtime - Regulates Sleep-Wake Cycle - 0.5 mg Melatonin - Vegan & Non-GMO - 180 Capsules

Lower dose definitely works better for me.

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.

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.

I like this product because it does what it says it does. I have trouble going to sleep but too much melatonin makes me groggy the next day. I tried taking one (.5) before bed and it worked but when I added a second one, I had a better sense of what I really needed. I wanted to go to sleep within an hour or two of taking Melatonin but needed 1 mg for that. Since I am trying to get back to reasonable sleeping hours and more normal sleep, I needed a little more to speed up my schedule and my goal for a stronger sleep regimen hoping for more REM sleep which seems to make me feel really good when I get up the next day.

One of the few places I could find the .5mg dosage. Anything higher is just too much for me. It helps me fall asleep and I wake up rested.

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 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.
