Which is the best brand of melatonin to buy?

Question

And does it work?

Answer 1

My husband uses a swansons brand that is 10 mg and works great! Take it 1 hour before bed. Go to Swansonsvitamins.com and order online.

Answer 2

Yes. I also use Swanson's whenever I travel. 10 mg as mentioend about is a lot. I'd try a smaller dose like 3 mg at first. If you take too high a dose you could end up sleeping through your alarm or having a wicked active dream life. I've even had nighmares when taking too high a dose.
If you'd like to control your dosage more precisely you can get a spray or liquid version. (Source Naturals, Natrol and Innovative Products all make a liquid.)
I'd say it works on about 80% of the people who try it. It all depends of course on the cause of the insomnia but melatonin is actually the same chemical your body produces to enable you to sleep. You can also get small amounts of it in cherries or cherry juice.
