Melatonin
Melatonin- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about Natrol® Melatonin TR:
I used to get so frustrated by my inability to sleep through the night. I usually don't have a problem falling asleep but staying asleep was impossible. Someone told me about melatonin so I tried it. What a difference! I rarely ever have a problem since I started taking these. A couple of nights I actually thought maybe I didn't need it anymore, so I decided not to take it. Well, I was wrong! I can't sleep without it. It definitely works and I don't feel any after effects in the morning.

Comments about Natrol® Melatonin TR:
I've had severe sleep disorders for years. Insomnia, apnea. I've been taking this product for a few months. I checked to find out about any side effects and found some possibles, like headaches upon waking, sluggish throughout the day. I have on occasion had headaches when I wake up, but I've had these for years with sleep disorders. And I have far fewer of them since taking melatonin.
The product doesn't knock me out, I take it the same time every night even if I don't get to bed on time. I sleep much better and throughout the night. I still wake up sometimes at night, but readily fall back to sleep. I am much more awake upon rising, and not nearly as tired throughout the day. (I used to fall asleep during the day, every day.)
I've even actually quit using it for a while to make sure there were no withdrawal symptoms and have not noticed any.
One thing I have noticed since taking this, is I have very vivid dreams and actually remember most. Not sure if this is the product or not, I suspect it is. But it's nice to dream. Before, it was always nightmares (because of low oxygen, etc.).
Another thing I was concerned with was depression - I've suffered from it with sleep disorders. I have not had a problem. I also take several other vitamins, and that may have helped too.
It hasn't completely 'cured' sleep disorders, but it has definitely improved my sleep. And I like the fact that this is all natural with no animal products.- My Beauty Routine Takes:
