Life Extension Melatonin IR/XR, 60 Capsules

I got this product because a have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Directions say to take 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. I did but couldn’t go to sleep. Stated the product didn’t work and Amazon refunded my money but didn’t want me to send product back. I had opened it, of course. I saw in my drawer one evening early, like 7 pm. and I took one. At 10pm I felt sleepy, went to bed snd slept through the night. Have been doing this regularly with consistent results. Even after the 2:30am bathroom trip, which always resulted in staying awake the rest of the night, I can go back to bed and fall asleep AGAIN! I would gladly pay for that bottle, if there was any way that I could snd plan on buying again. Try it. I don’t think you’ll be sorry. It just might not work for you as quickly, or it might. Good luck.

I've tried lots of different brands of melatonin. Life Extension melatonin works much better for me than any others. I was a big fan of their extended release, but this XR/IR is even better. I had chronic insomnia for probably 10 years, but since taking this I've slept well most nights. It has been a miracle.Melatonin won't work for all sleep problems, but if your sleep problems are due to circadian rhythm issues like delayed sleep phase syndrome, it's probably the best, most effective long term option, and doctors say it's safe for long term use. My doctor also confirmed it's not habit forming. If your choice is taking melatonin every night or dealing with chronic sleep deprivation, melatonin is probably the healthier option for sure.

I had problems sleeping through every night so I decided to try Melatonin from a brand name company and it did nothing for me. Then I went to a local health food store and they recommended this Life Extension IR/xr and told me it had an immediate effect on falling asleep and then an extended release to keep you sleeping through the night and it really worked. I decided to see if Amazon sold these and they did at a lower cost, so I decided to go with them and have them automatically sent to me. It works for me. Give it a try if you have trouble sleeping. It's not a pill that makes you feel as if you were drugged when you woke up. It's very natural.

I usually take 0.5mg of immediate release melatonin with either 0.3mg or .75mg of controlled release melatonin before sleep. This capsule incorporates 0.75 each of immediate and controlled release melatonin and works well for a refreshing night of sleep. I have had sleep issues for years and had taken Ambien for a few years, which did work, but I was concerned about the problems that were publicized-mainly people doing things while sleeping so I used melatonin to easily stop the Ambien.

The concept of an immediate release to start the night off, followed by an extended relief through the night makes great sense in theory, and in practice it turns out to work nicely. I've tried 3mg regular melatonin without much success, as has my wife. But this formula does make a difference. She has significant sleep issues, and this is not the only remedy for that, but it has made a very nice difference in both length of uninterrupted sleep as well as quality. I don't have problems getting to sleep, but often don't sleep long enough - this actually makes a difference. And the idea of only 1.5 mg is much more comfortable for me since melatonin is a hormone, and even 3mg is actually far higher than the body produces at any one point. So the initial dose followed by extended release makes a lot of sense and works nicely in practice. We've already recommended it to others when we've become aware of sleep issues. It's now in an Amazon subscription since we expect to continue using it.
