The dose ladder, simplified. Every body is different, so we make melatonin in three strengths: 1mg gummies made for kids, classic 5mg for most adults, and 10mg sugar-free for those who need maximum support.* Each one is a fruit-flavored chew that makes the wind-down routine something to look forward to.
Melatonin Gummies FAQ
What does melatonin actually do?
Melatonin is a hormone your body produces as light fades — it signals that it's time to sleep. A melatonin gummy supports that natural signal when your schedule, screens, or travel get in the way.*
Is 5mg or 10mg right for me?
Most adults do well starting at 5mg. The 10mg sugar-free version is for experienced users who want stronger support — and it's our pick for anyone cutting sugar.
Can kids take melatonin gummies?
Our Kids' Melatonin is formulated at 1mg specifically for ages 3+. Always check with your pediatrician first.
Will I feel groggy the next morning?
Grogginess is more common at higher doses or when it's taken too late relative to your wake time — timing matters as much as amount.
Does melatonin interact with any medications?
It can interact with blood thinners, immunosuppressants, and some diabetes medications, among others — check with a healthcare professional if you take other medications regularly.
Is melatonin the right fix for ongoing insomnia?
It's strongest for sleep-timing problems — jet lag, shift work, a drifted schedule — and less reliable as a general insomnia treatment. Major sleep medicine guidelines point to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I), not melatonin, as the first-line option for chronic sleeplessness.*
Is melatonin regulated the same way as medication?
No — it's sold as a dietary supplement, so manufacturing oversight is lighter than for drugs, and independent testing has previously found gaps between labeled and actual content in some products on the market. It's part of why we're upfront about our own formulation and testing.
