Vitafusion Melatonin Gummy Vitamins, 140 ct gummies

Help you sleep and encourage your teenager to read!

I bought these (on pediatric suggestion)to occassionally give my toddler when she had trouble sleeping. I buy gummi vitamins for the kids sometimes. My teenaged son mistook these for those and gave himself and my two little girls (6 and 3) one each. I found the 3 year old asleep on the couch, toys still in hand, the teen excused himself for a nap, and the usually hyper 6 year old calmly sat and watched an entire movie without getting up to play. They certainly help you feel more sleepy. Teenager has learned to read labels before consuming

Tastes great and promotes healthy sleep on a schedule

This helped get my kids' on a routine sleep schedule. I would give 2 gummies 30 minutes before their scheduled bedtime, and they would get tired by then. Before, one of my kids would play around in secret for hours until he tired himself out. He'd wake up exhausted for school the next day. It works well for adults, too. It doesn't make you feel dead tired, but a couple of yawns will sneak up on you. These tastes great. I like these so much, I've just placed it on subscribe and save. Did you find my review helpful. If so, please let me know and vote "yes" below or thumbs up. Thank yo

Great for kids on autism specrum, ADHD, anyone!

A miracle for our household. We've always dimmed the lights, quieted the house, removed screens before bedtime, do a routine with books, etc but have one 14 year old with autism who has always struggled falling asleep. He'll lay in his bed for over an hour and it was affecting him the next day for school. The past couple years he's been on add meds to help him concentrate better which has only exacerbated his sleep issues. ONE melatonin gummy and he falls right asleep. My 6 year old is ADHD, he just flops and flops for an hour too, even dead tired and yawning he can't find sleep. ONE gummy before bedtime books and he's out like a light when his head hits the pillow. On occasion I've taken two when I can't sleep and they work great, no side effects. Glad these gummies come in the small dose, it works perfectly for our family we are all getting the sleep we need

Get these now

My kids get more hyper the more tired they are. Bedtime used to be a nightmare. My pediatrician suggested trying melatonin so I ordered these. These puppies are hand made by the angels in heaven. Bedtime is now like a fairytale. We calmly snuggle and read books and there's yawning and, “Mom I'm tired.” Bedtime has improved 1000% If you, like me, find yourself hiding from your children after the 652nd time they get out of bed, do yourself a favor and order these bad boys. They have greatly increased my quality of life

The Gummies arrived in perfect condition, and were not melted at all

I bought these Gummies using Prime and had them delivered using 2-Day Shipping. The Gummies arrived in perfect condition, and were not melted at all. The Gummies left a waxy residue on the inside of the bottle, but this has no affected the Gummies themselves. Taste-wise, these Gummies have a peach-like flavour. They are similar in taste to the peach Vitafusion Multivites Gummies. Personally, I'm a fan! I am taking Melatonin as I suffer from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) and I naturally fall asleep around 3am and wake up by 12pm. I am trying to shift my circadian rhythm so that I fall asleep by 12am. As this was my first experience with Melatonin, I ate a single Gummy (1.5mg Melatonin) before bedtime (10pm). This made me sleepy within 15 minutes of taking it. This sleepiness did not feel natural, it was more of a drugged feeling, and my mind and body felt sluggish. I fell asleep and awoke the next day at 1.30pm, still feeling drugged (the Melatonin 'hangover'). This meant 1.5mg was too high of a dose and I needed to reduce the amount. The next night, I cut a single Gummy (~0.4mg) into quarters, and ate 1 of those quarters before bedtime. I began feeling sleepy 15-20 minutes later, and went to bed. However, my brain did not go into sleep-mode, and I was conscious of being sleepy but unable to fall asleep. I also woke up frequently throughout the night and had trouble going back to sleep. I will continue experimenting with this until I figure out the Goldilocks amount of Melatonin that I need, or until I give up. My process is to take half of a Gummy (~0.7mg) next, and either increase or reduce the amount by 1/8. If this does not work, I may switch to the extended release 300mcg tablets, or the liquid Melatonin (0.25mg per drop). If you suffer from DSPS like I do, then taking a higher dosage of Melatonin will likely not have the desired effect we need to shift the circadian rhythm. In fact, the body may become unresponsive to the higher dosage or Melatonin, so that it will no longer have any effect. Research tends to suggest that DSPS sufferers benefit from very low doses of extended-release Melatonin (between 0.3mg and 1 mg), meaning that 1.5mg, 3mg, 2.5mg, and 5mg are all possibly far too high for us. However, even though we are trying to alert the body that it is time to sleep using Melatonin, the body itself may reject it as according to its circadian rhythm (and the time the body begins releasing its own Melatonin), it is not time to sleep as yet. In such cases, the external Melatonin may not have any effect. The main points to come away with are: Melatonin may work for DSPS sufferers, or it may not. It depends on how the body reacts to it. Melatonin should not be taken as a 'sleeping pill', as it is a hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm. If your circadian rhythm is fine and in sync with society's norms (i.e. you fall asleep at a 'normal' hour and wake up at a 'normal' hour in time for a 9-5 job), then you should NOT take Melatonin. Even though these Gummies are delicious, you should only give them to children under medical supervision, as it is a HORMONE and can have an impact on puberty. People have reportedly felt depressed while taking Melatonin, so use your discretion. If you realize your mood is being altered, stop taking Melatonin and speak to a medical practitioner. If you feel drugged or lethargic, reduce the amount of Melatonin that you are taking. There are more side effects that you may experience while taking Melatonin, so please take some time to read these before taking this Gummy. I will continue to update this review from time to time to share my ongoing experiences with these Melatonin Gummies in hopes that it will help other DSPS sufferers out there. Update: February 14th, 2019. A little over 1 year later. These gummies are effective for me, in terms of making me sleepy. Initially, I only needed a small amount, but then I needed 1 whole gummy, then a bit more than 1 whole gummy, and now I'm onto needing two whole gummies. I'm very sad to say that the melatonin did not actually work in terms of helping me adjust my circadian rhythm. Instead, they do act like a sleeping aid, where they make me drowsy, and I would have a very restful, undisturbed, almost drugged sleep. Even people being noisy didn't wake me up. I don't feel drugged when I wake up though, I feel very refreshed. I've now stopped using these unless I need to wake up early. At this point I'm using it like a sleeping aid, which wasn't what I had initially planned. I sincerely hope it helps you in regulating your circadian rhythm. It just doesn't seem like it'll work out that way for me

A miracle

I'm averse to medications of all kinds, including supplements. But when menopause took away my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, I was desperate. My daughter shared some of her melatonin with me, and I couldn't believe that something so safe could be that effective. I googled like crazy, trying to find something awful about melatonin, but it turns out they are safe, effective, and no animal had to be mistreated to produce it, at least not the brands, like Vitafusion, that are made in a lab. I just take one each night and, after 2-3 years of getting maybe one to two good nights of sleep a week, I get a good night's sleep every night. It's non-addictive, which I think also means that you don't build up a resistance to it (at least I hope). Five stars

Works Great!

This product is awesome! It has been such a blessing to my husband and I who have an autistic son. Every night was a battle to get him to go to sleep with at least an hour of banging doors, him throwing things out of his room, him screaming and banging his head. It was such a disheartening and frustrating way to end the day. Now we just give him two of these, and he loves the flavor by the way, and now there's no drama at the end of the day. We give him two 30 minutes before his bedtime and it's such an easy transition now. What a blessing! Highly recommend!!

LOVE

I am a terribly restless sleeper prone to insomnia, made even worse by developing hyperthyroidism in the last few years. Two or three of these gummies and 20-30 minutes later, I am OUT. If I'm having a particularly rough night, I may need another one or two if I wake up later in the night, but they always work - better than some prescription medications I have tried, which kinda blows my mind. They taste is great, too! I will definitely keep these on hand

It's like a miracle–and the boys love it too

My little boys fought sleep, which made me a zombie. With my Pediatrician's blessing (I'm also a physician assistant so I do my research) I started them on melatonin. It's like a miracle--and the boys love it too. They request their "nightime vitamin" so they can start winding down. It doesn't knock them out, it just lets them relax naturally into sleep. A lifesaver in my house, and a staple we don't ever go without. You can adjust dosages per child, just do your research
