We buy 1mg. Once we couldn’t find any so we bought 3mg and cut them in half. I found it interesting that OP used actual dosage for caffeine but not for melatonin. Three pills could be 3mg or 60+.
That’s great! I really do think 1-1.5mg is the upper limit anyone should use, although it’s still higher than free melatonin concentration in your brain it’s a much more reasonable dose in comparison.
And I think most people who don’t understand melatonin go straight for the 20mg, so we’re probably talking 60+.
It really blows my mind that in this day and age there are no regulations or at the very least warnings or guidelines regarding melatonin supplements.
The gap in FDA policy for prescription drugs vs supplements is vast. Supplements have very few regulations and restrictions that create a lot of potential issues for the uninformed consumer.
