Natrol Fast Dissolve Melatonin 1 mg, Sleep Support for Adults

Fast dissolving. Good taste. Works well on helping to get to sleep.

I really like this melatonin because the 1 mg dose is gentle but still effective. The fast-dissolve tablets melt easily and start working pretty quickly, which helps me fall asleep without feeling groggy the next day. The flavor is pleasant, and it’s super convenient to take without water. Great option if you want a light, reliable sleep aid!

I'm 40, but have been dealing with sleep problems since I was about 14. I have a sleep disorder that means I struggle...a lot...with sleep. I've done multiple sleep studies, tried numerous RX sleep aids, OTC sleep aids, OTC antihistamines, RX antihistamines, muscle relaxants, beta blockers, alcohol, CBD, using RX stimulants in the morning...working with multiple therapists...walking my clock forward, walking my clock backward, strictly maintaining my sleep schedule, using sleep deprivation to try and reset my circadian rhythms (under the guidance of a sleep doctor), using bright light therapy, restricting blue light sources after 5pm, restricting ALL light sources after 5pm, using exercise and using meditation over the last 20+ years in various combinations to try and correct this problem. Compounding the situation is the fact that I sleep walk and sleep talk somewhat frequently. Sleeping is the bane of my existence. If someone told me they could wave a magic wand and give me 10 million dollars or fix my sleep issues, I would chose sleep over money. I've tried using melatonin in the past, but the sleep doctors at the time had me taking a larger dose (about 10mg) 60-90min before lights out. They have also had me try using time release melatonin - all to no avail. In fact the larger the dose of melatonin the WORSE my sleep usually got. Back in January 2023 I started seeing a new sleep specialist. He put me on a different combination of RXs, but on top of that, he asked me to use a very SMALL dose of melatonin (0.5 to 1.0mg) roughly 5 hours before bed. Over time, we've been walking back the time I take the melatonin by 15min every 1-2 weeks. For the first time EVER, I've gone 4.5 months with just 1 sleep walking episode, no car accidents, no oversleeping...just NORMAL sleep!!! Some of this is because of his guidance, but a LOT of it is due to this product. Everything else that I'm taking (the RX sleep meds) are things I've taken with very limited success in the past. Taste wise, this is a pretty delicious chewable strawberry flavored tablet. It's a little more tart than sweet. The consistency is reasonable and fairly soft. The taste is good enough that a number of times I've been tempted to have more than one - just because they ARE that tasty and enjoyable! So you combine a product that is VERY affordable, tastes really good, has a tolerable consistency AND WORKS WELL - there literally is no downside to this melatonin supplement. My advice is just to stick to the small dose size, take it 5-6 hours before you want to be asleep and give it a few weeks of consistent use to see if it works for you, too.

Melantonin has never been effective on me, but I have terrible sleep disorders that wreak havoc on my body so I’m willing to try anything to get to sleep. I decided to try a dissolving melatonin and this is what I ended up going with. MAGIC. It tastes fruity (if you have ever taken oral zofran, it’s almost exactly the same. I daresay pleasant to take) and works FAST. I always underestimate how fast—within five minutes, maybe less—it works, has me nodding off on the couch so I have a very small window of time to get to bed before I “lose the sleepiness”. For like $6 it’s a good thing to have on hand. I personally can’t take it every night or else I build a tolerance and it loses its effectiveness, so I rotate through two different regimens every three or so days. I’m dead serious, gummy melatonin and the normal pills aren’t nearly as effective as this. No stomach upset, a small amount (1mg) goes a LONG way. Less is more.

I'm an autistic adult that is sensitive to medication, who needs low-dose melatonin to sleep properly at night. I previously reviewed Natrol's gummies for children, and found the Natrol Kids Sleep+Calm (0.5 mg) works well and tastes good in strawberry, and the Natrol Kids Sleep gummy (1mg) works well and tastes only okay in berry. I decided to try these 1mg tablets since they're a far better bang for your buck. Unfortunately those sensitivities cropped up in the 1mg tablet formulation, unlike with the gummies. Perhaps something to do with how quickly the melatonin enters/lingers in your system? I could feel my body and especially my shoulders ache for some reason, and the next day I stayed extremely tired. I slept well, but too well, I didn't want to go in to work the next day, and it wasn't a comfortable sleep. But note that my reaction is very exaggerated and only found in someone with sensitivities, such as with autism, so I wouldn't expect this to happen to most people including young children. I would personally recommend if your child is neurodivergent to give them the Natrol gummies. That said, this tablet is easy to swallow with water and tastes sweet. I want to note the listing currently advertises "Strengthen Immune System" in the title, but on the bottle it says "Consult your healthcare professional before using if you have an autoimmune disorder." The bottle makes it seem as if autoimmune disorders disqualify you from being able to take melatonin safely; a quick google will show similar sentiment, but this is misleading. Melatonin has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties, but it heavily weighs in anti-inflammatory's favor, and is recommended for many patients with inflammation. It is thought to assist in protection against pathogens and can reduce dysfunctional inflammation in overactive immune systems as seen in autoimmune dysregulation.

These taste great and dissolve nicely--I like that they are made with xylitol instead of real sugar so I'm not too worried about getting cavities falling asleep after consuming these. Also great that it comes in 1 mg. in case you're wondering you should be careful with not overdoing it in your dosage as the average person only produces less than a milligram naturally per night. I take only one or two and fall asleep within 15 minutes in the dark. It helps me to stay asleep.

I've been taking this for over three months every night and I have not become immune to it. It works every time, it helps me to fall asleep.... one hundred percent better than all of the other ones that I have used. Great product!!!

So I have always suffered from a bit of anxiety induced insomnia. As I got to my mid 40s it got worse. Trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, waking up too early WIDE AWAKE, racing thoughts, restless legs. I had it all. I had tried Melatonin in the past in higher dosage but all it did for me was give me restless sleep with nightmares and/or only help me sleep until about 3 am when I would wake up wide awake. Then I read 1mg Melatonin was just as effective w/o side effects. It was a last ditch attempt for someone that did not want to have to drug myself up with OTC sleep aids every night that left me groggy the next day. I have been using this for two weeks now and WOW it is a life saver! I let one pill dissolve (tastes fine) and about 20-30 minutes later my body feels heavy, mind clears and I am ASLEEP! No trouble at all getting to sleep, no trouble staying asleep and I wake up BEFORE my alarm completely rested with ZERO grogginess! The value for the price of these pills is incredible! I will continue using these, it has saved my sanity for sure!
