Melatonin Gummies
Convenient and palatable, but independent analyses have found gummy products deviate from their labeled dose more than tablets do. If you use gummies, pick a brand with third-party testing (USP or NSF).

How to take Melatonin Gummies
A typical dose of Melatonin: 0.3–1 mg to start; most people do not need more than 3 mg. Best timing: 30–60 minutes before bed; for jet lag, at your target bedtime in the new time zone. The form you choose mainly affects absorption and how easily it sits with your stomach, not the overall dose.
Where to buy Melatonin Gummies
Choose a third-party-tested brand; the label should name this form explicitly.
