Life Extension Melatonin IR/XR 120 Capsules - Immediate & 7 Hour Extended-Release - Night Time Supplement - Supports Staying Asleep - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free

Trying the Bredesen protocol for my dad with dementia. Dr told me to use an extended release Melatonin to help him stay asleep. We were using regular melatonin before which would get him to bed but then he would wake up. This has helped let him sleep through the night. Love the dose as well. Been very hard to find lower doses of melatonin. Your body naturally only makes about ~0.3mg of melatonin. Happy with this product so far.

I’ve used a lot of different brands of melatonin. For many years, I used Remfresh because it was the longest lasting melatonin I’d found. But Nestlé bought Remfresh and stopped making it. After about a year of searching for a replacement I finally found this. I think it is better than Remfresh actually. The combination of fast acting and time release is nice. But the best part is it works a full 7 hrs or even a little more. It works so well that I’ll use regular time release melatonin instead if I can only get 6 or less hrs of sleep. I highly recommend this melatonin if you have trouble going back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night.

I have tried different supplements to aid sleeping. I find that I enter into a deeper sleep and if I have to get up in the middle of the night I go right back to sleep.

I like the combination of the extended and quick release, and it does help me sleep, but not as well as I'd like. I have intermittent insomnia and this has not eliminated it. To be fair, I take two other prescription meds and magnesium. So, I can't blame it all on the Melatonin.

Amazing mixture (the MicroActive). Also available in 3mg from Pure Encapsulations. Great science: 0.6mg in first hour 0.75mg for hours 2-6 0.15mg for hour 7 Magical for sleep

This is hands down the best melatonin product I have tried and trust me when I say I have tried many different versions from different manufacturers and a wide gamut of dosages and delivery methods. Despite it’s modest dosage compared to many other products, this melatonin is so much more stable throughout the night compared to other extended release products and causes no hangover effect as many high dosage melatonin capsules often cause. It’s more expensive per milligram than many other products, but it just works the best.

Quite simply, it didn't work for me! I don't have trouble falling asleep, I have trouble staying asleep and I had zero results with this product. Believe me, I wanted it to work.

I can finally sleep through the night! I took this for the first time last night, along with a 200mg L-Theanine capsule and magnesium glycinate. That combo really worked for me, whereas when I tried the supplements without the melatonin, they didn't work. I would fall asleep easily, as always, but wake up at 2 or 2:30am with my mind unable to stop thinking. Last night I took them, along with the 1.5 mg of timed-release melatonin a half hour or so before bedtime and even though I did wake up a time or two, including getting up to write something down and talking for awhile with my husband, I was able to easily and quickly fall back asleep and stay asleep until 8am. This never happens, so I am very grateful!
