Why did you pick this product vs others?:Repeat buyer for years. It works better if I don’t take it every night. Not sure if it builds up in my body and then possibly not as effective? Overall, it will always be my go to.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Finally Getting Some Good Sleep!I can’t say enough good things about Natrol Fast Dissolve Melatonin 5 mg. I’ve tried other melatonin brands before, but this one really works for me. The tablets dissolve super quickly, which is great because I don’t always feel like grabbing water before bed. Plus, the taste is actually pretty nice—no weird chalky flavor.The best part? It helps me fall asleep fast and stay asleep. I used to toss and turn a lot, but now I’m out within 20 minutes of taking one. And the mornings? No groggy feeling! I just feel refreshed and ready to take on the day.If you’ve been struggling with sleep, I’d 100% recommend giving this a try. It’s been such a lifesaver for me, and I think it’ll help you too! 😊

These guys seem to work well enough. Everyone's body is different and reacts differently to meds, so your experience may be different.I take one of the 5mg ones about an hour before bed, and if you're in bed at the right time, they help you fall asleep/gently knock you out. If I'm not ready for bed and stay awake through that 45-90minute window of time, it's very hard to fall asleep.These do give me the melatonin "morning hang over" the next day, where I only seem to sleep for 4-5 hours, wake up, become really really lethargic and lazy/sleepy, and don't want to get up. I get stuck in that "can't get up, can't fall asleep" limbo too often. I've also experienced a resistance to these (not this brand but melatonin in general) if you take them every night for a month or more.These do help get you to fall asleep pretty well. They dissolve fully in about 5-10 minutes, and the strawberry flavor isn't bad at all. I'd rather take these or the gummy ones than another pill, they all seem to work the same.

For me that is.20 years ago I tried melatonin and it didn't work. Discouraged, I went on to other things like hot milk. That didn't work either.It turns out melatonin is synthesized from serotonin. And if you are low on serotonin then of course your melatonin levels will be even lower . For those who may be depressed, low serotonin levels is almost a given. Is it coincidence, that my sleep became much much worse when I became very depressed? So if you're not sleeping well because your serotonin levels are low and you're not producing melatonin. Then using melatonin in pills may help. I had to fix my depression first before the melatonin would really work. There's no research to back this up, but I believe you need both serotonin and melatonin to sleep well . Melatonin to set your circadian rhythm, and serotonin to get you relaxed enough that you can go to sleep. I managed to raise my serotonin levels by taking inositol or vitamin B8. However, tinkering with your serotonin levels is not without danger. You may want to try chamomile tea or lemon balm tea . Dr. Low Dog lectured on these herbs as well . They are excellent for anxiety , the trick is to drink 3 to 4 cups per day every day until they start working. They are safe. There is no record of any safety issue with these in the history of US herbal safety or more importantly European herbal safety . The Europeans used herbs more extensively and have kept better records for much longerBut wait, I'm not done yet. There are many other causes of insomnia.I got scientific about it. I attended a lecture by Dr. Low Dog who is an herbalist and an MD, which was aimed at medical doctors who wanted to incorporate herbs in their clinical practice. She explained that night owls have an upside down cortisol pattern. Night owls have low cortisol in the morning and cannot wake up, are groggy and grumpy. Later in the day their cortisol levels rise and continue to rise as the night advances into the wee hours. They are literally too stimulated to sleep. An upside down cortisol pattern, would explain why my body temperature rises as the night advances until by midnight I'm sweating like a pig. Every body else, their body temperature drops as the night advances. So I tried her advice, take 1500 mg of Ashwagandha root powder three or four times a day for four weeks solid. It took me close to seven or eight weeks, but finally I started getting sleepy at night.Since I was still going to bed at 2 AM in the morning, I decided I better try the melatonin again and see if it would work now that the cortisol pattern had been corrected. And it did !But the melatonin I purchased initially, which was a 10 mg pill, was way too strong. Quite a change from 20 years ago, when swallowing abnormal numbers of pills failed.Took the pill two hours before bedtime.Day one slept 12 hoursDays two through four. Slept a short number of hours about sixDay five slept closed to 12 hours.Repeat the cycle.After two weeks of trying , I became rather afraid of taking the pill because I might sleep 12 hours. However, the cycles were getting shorter with fewer nights of short sleep. And it was abundantly clear the melatonin was keeping me asleep.I ordered more melatonin in smaller doses, and this is the one that finally worked the best for me. 5 mg quick dissolve will put me to sleep for 12 hours. but I can cut the pill in half and I will sleep only eight hours. Since I have health issues, I like having the larger pill which I can cut to a reasonable size and tune my hours of sleep.The next time, someone says to me "Just go to sleep" I have an awful lot of scalding hot milk that I will suddenly know what to do with. They better like biochemistry. Phooey!

I love this product . It has been the only thing to work that has made me feel like I’m getting enough rest. I used to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or because my kiddos would wake me up and I just could not go back to sleep and having taken melatonin in able to fall right back to sleep . You do have to TRY to shut your brain off , it’s not gonna like make you feel drowsy but the second you succeed at saying “ok I needa sleep” you’re out . Oh and it doesn’t taste bad at all .. 10/10 !!
