About This Product

  • Provides sleep support

Sweet dreams are made of Zzzs, but if you're having trouble catching your recommended eight hours, melatonin can help. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It's involved in the regulation of a variety of diverse bodily functions—most notably sleep.

To support your sleep cycle, take a single The Vitamin Shoppe® brand Melatonin tablet before bedtime.

These are not validated
I read more on Melatonin substitutes for the hormone our bodies make. These do not offer the proper validation so I dumped mine in an empty cheez it box. I think eating the Cheez Its made me sleepier

Helps me get to sleep on EAST Coast AMs
I'm a Flight Attendant with changing Time Zones every day of a trip. So trying to get to sleep when it is 4 in the afternoon my time is no picnic. This simple product helps me fall asleep without the usual stress of clockwatching.

PETER T

Great Product

TOMMY E

trying melatonin

Vincent S

Helps me sleep…

Jeanine G
Is this the slow release form as opposed to the quick release? I need the form to help me stay asleep.
Beth C

Best Answer:  I think you're asking about "timed release". The lable will tell you if it is. You can also find the information under the Supplement Facts tab. Otherwise, you can assume it is the one that immediately releases the product into your system.

Sharon S
Is this a safe method for sleep? Any side effects?
Cassandra S.

Best Answer:  My doc says there are no side effects unless one takes too much, then you can be groggy in the morning. The older we get, the less melatonin our body produces, so older people take a higher dose. For me at 67, I take a 10 mg. regular tablet and a 5mg. sustained release tablet right before I lie down. Works great, and I awake refreshed at my regular time.

Sharon S
Do I chew it or just swallow it?
matt m

Best Answer:  This is meant to be swallowed only since this is not chewable.

Kevin V.staff
Can these be halfed or crushed? I have the 5 mg but sometimes i wish i could
half it.
A shopper

Best Answer:  Yes, absolutely they can be halved and or crushed. I hope this helped.
Best regards.

Gerard E
