Life Extension Melatonin 6 Hour Timed Release, 300 mcg, Extended-Release Formula for Gentle Sleep Support, Healthy circadian Rhythms, Cellular Defense, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 100 Tablets

I have used melatonin for years. I would always wake in the middle of the night, usually after 4 hours, and have trouble getting back to sleep. (I took half of a 5 mg tablet or dissolving lozenge.) The combination of extended release, which actually works, and a tiny, close to physiologic dose, appears special. I was skeptical of the tiny dose but perhaps this contributes to not experiencing the “this is morning” effect when I do wake in the night. And I do still frequently wake, but with this preparation I go back to sleep easily. For me, the effectiveness of this preparation is qualitatively different.

I read tons of reviews before I bought this, you all were SO RIGHT! I was taking higher dose's of melatonin 3-9mg.... it only put me to sleep but it gave me nightmares, I'd wake up between 2-3am and not be able to go back to sleep, and worst of all I was feeling depressed after taking it which is really out of character for me. After reading many of these reviews and studying melatonin dosing some more I realized that a smaller dose is way better! With this extended release no longer wake up at 2am...I fall asleep peacefully within a half hour of taking them & have positive dreams. I have zero depression from them and I'm beyond grateful to not be taking a dose so high that it's causing me harm. I will never go back to taking full strength melatonin. In this case more milligrams did not equal better or longer sleep. I'm beyond satisfied with this company and I will have these tablets on subscription. Grateful for all the people who took the time to review, yall saved my sanity and sleep cycle

Sometimes less is more, and that seems to be the case with Melatonin. Apparently you can overload your body with too much Melatonin, leading to poor sleep results. My wife and I have both had good results with this dosing over a period of a couple of months.

I've tried many forms of melatonin before but never experienced any improvement with my middle insomnia. I haven't taken this product very long but it seems there is some improvement...time will tell

I think I will take these the rest of my life. Just bought 2nd bottle. Am sleeping much more deeply. Wake more rested feeling than I have been in years. Fall back to sleep easier if I do wake up during the night. Highly recommend.

Didn’t work for me put I am use to taking 10mg of melatonin

I have felt for a long time like the lower dose melatonin works better and doesn’t give me a sleep. Hangover or vivid dreams in the morning, but I especially like the slow release.

I’ve tried just about every kind of melatonin over the years—fast dissolve, gummies, sprays, even teas—and while most helped me *fall* asleep, none could help me *stay* asleep. I’d wake up at 3 a.m. staring at the ceiling, wide awake, wishing I’d never taken anything at all. Then I found this 6-hour time-release melatonin from Life Extension, and it’s honestly been a quiet miracle in my nightly routine. The first night, I noticed the difference. I didn’t feel that “melatonin hangover” or grogginess that some formulas give you. Instead, it felt like my body just… naturally drifted off and stayed there. The best part? When I woke up in the morning, it wasn’t with that heavy, foggy feeling—just calm, rested energy. Here’s what really impressed me: it eases you into sleep gently and then *keeps you there*, thanks to the time-release formula. It’s like having a quiet sleep assistant working in the background all night, releasing just enough melatonin to keep your brain from hitting that “wake up too early” button. I take one about 30 minutes before bed, do my usual wind-down routine, and by the time I hit the pillow, my mind is calm and my body feels ready. I’ve had some of the best, most consistent sleep of my adult life using this—especially after struggling with pain and restless nights post-surgery. If you’re tired of products that work for an hour and then leave you tossing and turning at 2 a.m., this is the one to try. It doesn’t feel like a pill—it feels like finally remembering what real sleep is supposed to be like.
