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 GNC Melatonin 10:
I bought this product on the advice of the store sales clerk who told me that he takes the melatonin 5 and it worked for him. I knew that pills usually don't work on me (low doses) so I tried the melatonin 10 which had no effect on me. It did not make me drowsy or sleepy!

Comments about GNC Melatonin 10:
I am a pharmacy technician and I would recommend using this product if you have occassional sleeping problem. Melatonin is naturally produced in the brain by the pineal gland and it's light-sensitive, meaning the brain will not produce melatonin when one is in a brightly-lit enviornment. It works along with your circadian rhythm so it will take sometime for your body to adjust.
That being said, melatonin works best when you are relaxed and NOT being under the influence of sitmulants. Staying in dim light also helps melatonin to work more efficiently.
For people that experience lack of therapeutic effect from melatonin might be:
1. Overly exicted (exercise within 1-2 hours before taking melatonin will decrease its therapeutic effects)
2. Under the influence of stimulant (coffee, tea, etc.)
3. Insensitive to melatonin (seek medical help)
4. Being in brightly-lit enviornment.
As always, check with your doctor to see whether melatonin is right for you. Or else you will just be disappointed.Pros

Comments about GNC Melatonin 10:
This is the most effective Melatonin I have found. I have tried a different brand in a higher dose (20mg) and it did not work as well as taking two of these. Takes about 20mins to start working.
