Natural Factors Melatonin 10 mg is a peppermint sublingual tablet with 10 mg of melatonin in every tablet. Helps to increase the total sleep time in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule (e.g. shift-work and jet lag).
What does melatonin do in the body?
The body produces melatonin on its own. Output from the pineal gland rises after dark and falls again toward morning, which is how the hormone marks night and day for the internal clock. Supplemental melatonin, made here from a non-animal source, is the same molecule.

This product works well for me. I’m able to fall back to sleep when I wake in the middle of the night.

Cost effective aid to a good night's sleep
I have been using this product for about 3 weeks and generally find that my quality of sleep has improved. there have been occasions though where I struggle to get to sleep, so that is why my rating is a 3.

It really works
I've suffered from insomnia for decades, and the 3 0r 4 hours a night sleep I did get was usually interrupted.
The only upside was that I read hundreds of books a year. Not that I could remember much of them.
I've tried melatonin before, but only for 6 weeks at a time. It worked fine, but the effects always wore off.
Now that my doctor said it's safe to take melatonin indefinitely, I'm sleeping so much better. Long term.
This Natural Factors version is so easy to take - just dissolve it under my tongue about 15 mins before bedtime. It tastes pleasant. Books take a lot longer to get through now, but I'm remembering more about them!

Melatonin
I take it as a preventative for breast cancer. I am unable to tell if it is effective. I do not like the mint flavour, having bought the sublingual due to lack of choice.
