The product is found useful for the following medical conditions

Melatonin attenuates affective disorders and cognitive deficits induced by perinatal exposure to a glyphosate-based herbicide via antioxidant pathway in adult male and female rats.

Most Relevant Research

Our research examined the effects of melatonin on anxiety and memory problems caused by exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH). We started with pregnant Wistar rats that were subjected to GBH during gestation and lactation. After weaning, the offspring were treated with melatonin to see if it could help mitigate the negative effects they experienced due to their early exposure.

We observed that exposure to GBH led to increased anxiety and depression-like behaviors in the rats. Additionally, it appeared to impair their memory function. In looking at oxidative stress markers in the brain regions associated with emotion and cognition, we found indications of increased stress—especially pronounced in the female offspring.

However, the inclusion of melatonin significantly reduced these anxiety levels and improved cognitive deficits. Interestingly, the benefits were notably greater in female rats compared to males, suggesting a potential sex-dependent response to melatonin treatment.

Calmer sleep for children

Most Useful Review

Calms my son's anxiety. I purchased these for my 7-year-old son who suffers from anxiety and nightmares. Giving him one gummy at night eases his anxiety, allowing him to sleep more peacefully. Previously, he would awaken numerous times; now he may wake only once, which is a remarkable improvement. He's become quite fond of them, asking for his gummy each night.

Melatonin delivery enhances sleep

Silk fibroin microneedles loaded with melatonin for circadian rhythm regulation.

Most Relevant Research

We developed a new way to deliver melatonin for those struggling with insomnia by creating microneedles made from silk fibroin. These tiny needles are designed to improve how the body absorbs melatonin, making it easier for people to get to sleep and stay asleep.

Our research shows that these microneedles can release melatonin steadily over a period of 11 hours. When we tested it on animals, we found that the microneedles maintained stable levels of drug in the bloodstream for up to 8 hours. This is promising news for individuals who may need help with their sleep cycles.

Additionally, the microneedles not only helped regulate sleep but also made a noticeable difference in anxiety levels in insomnia model rats. By improving the disrupted circadian rhythms, melatonin loaded into these microneedles could lead to significant therapeutic benefits.

We believe this innovative approach could enhance patient compliance and provide effective sleep aid for many in need. It’s an exciting development in the field of transdermal drug delivery for improving sleep quality and overcoming insomnia.

Effective for knee pain

Most Useful Review

I absolutely love these melatonin gummies. They work perfectly for me and have greatly improved my body health, including my knee pain. The product is of excellent quality, with fresh ingredients and a perfect composition. There are no issues with the packaging, and I enjoy the aspect of taking them like candy before bed. Though they contain some sugar, I find them better than liquid or pills. Highly recommend, and I appreciate the reusable jar once they’re finished.

Breast Cancer

Although this melatonin is intended for infants, I purchased the 1mg version for my elderly mother, who is a breast cancer patient trying melatonin for the first time. Initially, I was concerned about side effects, but it has proven effective for her. She has been able to sleep soundly without adverse symptoms, so I plan to buy it again and also get some for myself and a friend suffering from the same condition.

Cancer

Looks good. Although intended for infants, I purchased it for my mother, a cancer patient in her 80s, who is trying melatonin for the first time. I was concerned about side effects and opted for the 1mg version as a trial. It seems effective as she has been sleeping soundly, and there have been no negative symptoms. I plan to buy more for myself and a friend undergoing similar treatment.

Eczema

Very effective. These gummies help my child fall asleep easily and for longer periods. His severe eczema usually disrupts his sleep, but with these gummies, he settles down quickly. The taste is wonderful.

Whooping Cough

Nutritional supplement

Most Useful Review

Really excellent quality, ingredients, taste, size, and packaging. This nutritional supplement helps my daughter adjust her sleep but should not be used for an extended period. I only give it to her when needed, half an hour before bed. I will purchase again, even for myself. There are no complaints regarding its effect, especially in the context of whooping cough.

Autism

Improved sleep quality

Most Useful Review

This has significantly helped an autistic adult with insomnia. As someone with ADHD and autism, I struggle with severe sleep issues. I finally tried a minimal dose of children's melatonin and it worked beautifully. Within 40 minutes I was asleep, and now I can reliably fall asleep each night. This has been a tremendous relief for my situation.

Menopause

Improved sleep quality

Most Useful Review

I had difficulty falling asleep during menopause, so I purchased this melatonin supplement. It's a gummy, which is easy to take without water just before bed, and it tastes sweet like a candy gummy! I only use it when necessary to avoid regular usage.

Diarrhea

No reported diarrhoea

Most Useful Review

My sons' experience with melatonin has been positive. The quality and ingredients match the nutritional facts, and the taste is like candy, which my children enjoy. I’ve used it almost daily for a month, and it helps them sleep well without causing any stomach aches or diarrhoea. It's a suitable size for children and considered a safe nutritional supplement, although responses may vary among kids.

Allergies

I purchased this as my child occasionally wakes in the night and struggles to settle back. Initially, I was apprehensive about administering it, but when things became challenging, I opted to give it a try. To my surprise, there was a notable effect within 15 minutes, and my child did not experience allergies from the medication, even though they often did before. Their sleep significantly improved! I highly recommend it and urge others not to be afraid; it's an excellent product!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

This product works wonders for my boy with ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, and autism. I give him two each night, and they help him sleep perfectly. They are affordable and effective for managing his chronic fatigue syndrome.

Ear Infection

Tastes good and helps my son fall asleep quickly. However, I didn't give it 5 stars as the gummies seem to cause him to wake very early. In the three times he's taken a gummy, he's woken before 5am. I've used a liquid product before with no issue regarding waking early, so I wouldn't purchase these gummies again for my family.

Depression

Helps with depression

Most Useful Review

Sleep hormone stabilises insomnia, depression, and autonomic dysfunction, particularly in menopause and old age. The natural ingredients alleviate stress, boost brain function, enhance concentration, and improve mood. The medium-sized capsules contain GABA, a neurotransmitter that enhances sleep quality. During sleep, the highest levels of growth hormone are released, and GABA helps mitigate stress factors for deeper, more effective sleep. The dosage is optimal.

Leg Cramps

These are excellent for combating leg cramps when travelling. They're easy to take, and the children love the taste.

Bone Pain

Severe symptoms experienced

Most Useful Review

Headache, muscle pain, dizziness and stomach pain plagued my son after trying this treatment. I regretted using it as it was his first and last experience with it. I advise against administering anything without a doctor's prescription, as natural ingredients would not have such severe effects. The experience I witnessed was alarming. May God protect our children.

Pelvic Pain

The treatment caused my son severe headaches, muscle pain, dizziness, and stomach aches. I deeply regret trying it. This was my first experience, and it will certainly be my last. My advice is not to give anything without a doctor's prescription; if the ingredients were truly natural, it wouldn't have had such distressing effects. May God protect our children.

Chronic Cough

Knocks my ADHD kids out cold within minutes! Amazing! The texture is odd, but the flavour is tolerable, resembling cherry cough medicine.

Dizziness

Melatonin's impact on dizziness

Addressing Sleep Disorders in Psychiatry: Comparing the Use of Melatonin, Trazodone, and Doxepin.

Most Relevant Research

We assessed how melatonin affects dizziness in patients dealing with sleep disturbances tied to psychiatric conditions. In a study with 175 participants, we found that melatonin was slightly less effective than trazodone and doxepin in improving overall sleep quality. However, it stood out for having a low incidence of adverse effects. Specifically, the rates of dizziness associated with melatonin use were measured, showing a relatively low occurrence.

While it did not provide the most substantial improvement in sleep quality, melatonin showed promise in enhancing tolerability among users. Only 10% of participants reported dizziness, which indicates that melatonin might be a safer option for those worried about side effects from more potent medications. By choosing melatonin, patients can potentially find a balance between managing sleep disturbances while minimizing unwanted symptoms like dizziness.

Overall, we observed that for individuals focused on avoiding adverse effects, melatonin serves as a viable alternative within this treatment landscape. Its effectiveness in curbing dizziness contributes to discussions on how best to treat sleep disorders in psychiatric patients without compromising their comfort.

Children's sleep improved

Most Useful Review

Amazing product! After taking it, the children quickly become dizzy and go to bed on their own. It’s perfect for early bedtimes, especially when school resumes. One capsule works well; I will try half today.

Heart Attack

Dangerous to hormones. I gave it to my daughter, but then she started saying "mama is hot" and struggled to sleep due to the heat. I discovered it contains soy, which is known to disrupt hormones. Now, my daughter suffers from hot flashes. Parents should be cautious—it's not worth compromising their sleep and health.

Heart Disease

I gave this to my daughter, but she complained of being "hot" and struggled to sleep due to overheating. I later discovered it contains soy, which is notorious for disrupting hormones. 💔 Now, my daughter suffers from hot flashes. Please take care of your children; it's not worth compromising their sleep and health for something like this.

Autoimmune Disorder

Melatonin linked to nausea management

Melatonin Immunoreactivity in Malignant Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours.

Most Relevant Research

We explored how melatonin could affect nausea in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs). Our research involved studying tumor tissue from 26 patients, examining their primary tumors alongside metastases for the presence of melatonin and its receptors.

Interestingly, we found that higher melatonin levels in the body were linked to reported experiences of nausea. Specifically, patients with higher plasma melatonin levels at both time points indicated more frequent nausea occurrences. This underscores the potential role of melatonin in influencing nausea symptoms.

However, it's notable that in those cases where the disease was stable or improving, plasma levels of melatonin dropped after treatment, suggesting a complicated relationship between melatonin levels and treatment responses. These findings provide some valuable insights into the endocrine roles of melatonin in SI-NETs and signal a need for future studies to further dissect these relationships.

Headaches, nausea symptoms
