Spring Valley Extra Strength Melatonin Tablets Sleep Support Dietary Supplement, 10 mg, 120 Count

Works great for no/limited side effects as a sleep aide without drugs. Melatonin is a natural hormone your body makes. 10mg is pretty strong and may cause grogginess when you wake up. A good Gauge is how much melanin you have naturally. I am caucasian, with a dark, olive skin tone and tan deeply, I take 1 -2 10mg depending on how awake I am. My wife is a "Ginger," with red hair and pale skin, and can get a sunburn on a cloudy day. She takes half of one. Take two, and she can't wake up without a double shot of espresso. Start with less, I am not a pharmacist, and this is only my experience. You are on your own.

Spring Valley’s Extra Strength Melatonin from Walmart has been my go-to when my brain won’t clock out. This value-size bottle has 240 vegetarian tablets at 10mg each, plus 1,000 mcg lemon balm for extra calm. One tablet about 30 minutes before bed and I’m out without the tossing. Pros: • Strong but not scary — 10mg knocks me out without that heavy “melatonin hangover” next morning • Lemon balm bonus — helps me stay asleep, not just fall asleep • 240 tablets = 8 months — best price-per-dose I’ve found at Walmart • Small tablet, no taste — easy to swallow, unlike some chalky ones Cons: • 10mg is extra strength, so start with half a tablet if you’re new to melatonin • Takes 30–45 mins to kick in, so don’t take it right when your head hits the pillow Rating: 4.8/5 For the price and how well it works, I keep this stocked. It’s helped me reset my sleep schedule after night shifts and travel.
