Monrovia, CA 91016 - Health Notes

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 BIOTAB NUTRACEUTICAL 1009162 Alteril™:
I was VERY excited about this product as I have been having sleep problems for some time now. A friend who has had similar sleep issues gave me a few of these to try and they seemed to work! I went ahead and bought 2 boxes with the little money I have (currently unemployed) but for some reason they aren't working now. I have no idea why and needless to say I am VERY disappointed!

Comments about BIOTAB NUTRACEUTICAL 1009162 Alteril™:
After suffering with insomnia for many years, I consulted with a highly rated sleep specialist. He recommended a prescription drug (with many cautions and side effects). I do not want to become dependent and didn't want the side effects, so I researched other options. Alteril had the best ratings and most favorable natural ingredients. I ordered them and from the very first night got good to great results.
They take awhile to kick in, but they work. I get sleep, without waking up all night long, and get up feeling great, not groggy.Pros

Comments about BIOTAB NUTRACEUTICAL 1009162 Alteril™:
I dont have problems sleeping, but its hard for me to settle down at night and want to sleep. Also i require more sleep than the average person in order to feel rested. This product definitely keeps me sound asleep all night. I actually take half the normal dose because if i take 2 pills i feel groggy the next morning. The problem is, with a half dose it doesn't make me want to go to sleep enough. But thats just me. This product works well. I wake up feeling rested and refreshed. Im glad I bought it and will probably buy it again.

I followed the directions for taking this supplement as ordered. However, there was no effect on my system whatsoever. I tried taking it again the next night, doubling the dose with still no effects. I figured third time was the charm but even after tripling the dose, nothing happened. I feel like I wasted my money and time

Comments about BIOTAB NUTRACEUTICAL 1009162 Alteril™:
I have been on Ambien for years and then Lunesta. I hate the side effects (I was foraging at night and eating really unhealthy things - I would remember nothing). I started looking for alternatives. Tried Melatonin and a few other things - nothing even came close. I finally tried Alteril and it works for me! I am an elementary teacher, dancer, I take classes, and I am very active. I need regular restful sleep.
