How it works
Think of melatonin as a darkness signal for your body — it helps regulate your internal clock and tells your brain when it's time to sleep [NIH ODS]. Your body naturally produces it in response to darkness, and taking a supplement can support this process, especially if you have jet lag or shift work [NIH ODS].

Data not available for specific adverse event reports for this product. For general melatonin safety, side effects from FDA data are not provided for this specific supplement. Generally, melatonin is considered safe for short-term use, but long-term safety data is limited [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because no data is available for Vitamin World Extra Strength Melatonin 5 mg, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. For general use, start with a lower dose (0.5 to 3 mg) and take it 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Choose products that have been independently tested for quality [NIH ODS].
