4.0 out of 5 stars A Liquid Form of Melatonin from Natrol, September 5, 2005

By

Natrol's liquid melatonin is a hormone the body manufactures from the brain neurotranmitter serotonin. Serotonin gives the mind a peaceful satisfied feeling. The human body secretes melatonin from the pineal gland. The release of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and promotes sleep when the hormone levels are sufficient. 1 to 3 mg (1-3 drops) of Melatonin will work to promote a sleepy feeling and aids in sleep. This product instructs one to take 4 mg of Melatonin, which is the highest dose of Melatonin recommended by most sleeping aid products.

I have found that the occasional use of Melatonin has helped me to fall asleep easier. I don't believe this product should be used on a nightly basis, as regular daily use actually inhibits the natural production of Melatonin in one's body.

I have had no hang-over effect in using Melatonin. Some sleep aids have Diphenhydramine as the active ingredient and these give a noticable hang-over effect the following morning. For those with intractable insomnia, I suppose a Diphenhydramine product and a Melatonin product could be combined to give a turbo-charged sleeping pill. I have not tried this combination myself, but it should help anyone with chronic insomnia fall asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Improved sleep and behaviour on my Autistic son, June 16, 2008

After giving this to my autistic son, his behaviour, sleep and compliance started to improve. He actually looks more relaxed. He has just started to initiate conversation. Melatonin affects individuals differently, so start with a very low dose like 300mcg, then adjust from there. As for long term use, there have been studies that have shown that if you develop tolerance, you just need to stop taking it for a few days. Liquid melatonin is the only way I can give it to my son as he cannot swallow tablets. I add it to his soy milk. He takes it without a problem. Autistic individuals have low levels of melatonin so supplementation makes a lot of sense. He has been on it for 3 months now, with nothing but positive results. It is like the cloud in his brain is slowly lifting.

Update August 02, 2009:
My son has been taking this for more than a year now and he has made a lot of progress in Verbalization and behavior. He still has some meltdowns like any autistic child, but it doesnt happen as much now. He has been able to attend school, although he still has some issues this has clearly helped him. We give it to him on a 3 weeks on - 1 week off schedule so that he doesnt build tolerance to it. If you have an autistic child and would like to know more, just add a comment, and I can share some of our experiences and treatments with you.
