ALLERGY WARNING FOR ASTHMA!!! I was excited to start taking melatonin because I've had trouble sleeping my entire life. I took this, and in about 20 minutes I started to feel a tingle in my throat and started coughing. I haven't had an asthma attack in years. So I did some research: Apparently asthmatics(which I am) have increased levels of melatonin naturally(61-67 picograms/milliliter compared to 53 pcg/ml in non-asthmatics) in them all the time. Melatonin causes anti-inflammatory properties generally, but is inflammatory in certain auto-immune disorders(like the reactive airway disease asthma). This explains why I have trouble waking up in the mornings(excess melatonin), why I have trouble falling asleep(melatonin receptors proportionally overwhelmed(think like insulin resistance in diabetes), and why I enjoy reading from a computer screen instead of books(blue light suppresses melatonin release increasing alertness.) Something to consider before taking this supplement.<br /><br />Outside of that, I love that this was pure melatonin and a veggie capsule though! This product probably deserves 5 stars, but I need this review to stand out a little so others don't make the same mistake I did and potentially have a worse reaction.

I've been using this product for about five years to get a better night's sleep. I find that within an hour of taking a capsule, I feel sleepy, and sleep through the night (for me, about six to eight hours). Before using this product, my sleep cycle was broken: I would wake up multiple times during the night, and then have to nap---fall dead asleep is more like it---during the day. On weekends, I would sleep for 12 hours at a stretch, trying to catch up with the lost sleep during the week. I had been using drug store melatonin without much difference in my scattered sleep pattern. Once I switched, on a doctor's recommendation, to Pure Encapsulations' brand of Melatonin, I experienced a drastic change: literally overnight to sleeping through the night. Of course, everyone may react differently. For me, one capsule per night changed my life though a better night's sleep, one night at a time. Highly recommended.

I suffer from massive insomnia. Within a 1/2 hour of taking one tablet of Melatonin 3 mg, I'm fast asleep (for the whole night). I also like that it is free of additives- I'm allergic to everything. LOL!

I only buy supplements from PE. In this case, I know I'm getting high-grade melatonin and nothing else. Personally, I take two capsules about 30 minutes before bedtime. Works well and allows me to wake up refreshed. Much better than any prescription alternative, where issues of dependency crop up. (That said, I don't know if you can develop a dependency to melatonin, or if larger doses are needed over time. Maybe the vendor can weigh in on this.)

Bought these to go along with HMR lignans for symptoms of Cushings Disease in my dog. It has seemed to help with the thirst & also accidents. I also give 12 drops of hemp oil, 1 tsp of cod liver oil & cushex drops-s. Hopefully will keep symptoms at bay.

I had not been able to sleep more that 2 1/2 hours at a time. I would be awake for 4hoyrs and most times I was unable to fall back to sleep.<br />My doctor recommended this and 3mg works great for me!<br />If I wake up to go to the bathroom I am able to fall right back to sleep and awake with no grogginess. Amazing product!
