The 3 mg dosage is common, but we cannot confirm the exact formulation or inactive ingredients for Sundown Naturalist Melatonin as brand-specific data is not available.
How it works
Melatonin is a hormone that your body naturally produces to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Think of it as a natural signal that tells your brain it is time to rest. While the specific mechanism for this product is not detailed, standard melatonin supplements work by mimicking this natural process to help you fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects and report counts for this product. FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but no specific data is provided for melatonin. For reference, calcium supplements can cause side effects like constipation and nausea at high levels [NIH ODS], but this does not apply to melatonin.
