Hi Nico. The first few answerer's are incorrect. mcg is micrograms (one millionth of a gram). mg is milligrams (one thousandth of a gram). Therefore, 300 mcg equals 0.3 mg.
3 mg is too much to start with. It is best with hormones such as melatonin to use the smallest dose that works for you. Generally, a 1 mg pill (1000 mcg) is adequate dosage for most people.
So, get the 300 mcg pills and take one or two pills one hour before bedtime. If this does not seem to work for you, then add one or two more for a total dose of 0.9 to 1.2 mg.
Best wishes and good luck.

No difference
Melatonin has been studied and is thought to be safe even up to 20mg a day. Some people only use 1mg, some use 3mg. I take 9-12 mg at a time. It does make people dream extensively.
