How melatonin 3 mg timed release works*
Melatonin is a hormone your brain releases in response to darkness. It helps signal that it is time to sleep and supports the timing of your internal clock.*
A timed release capsule releases melatonin gradually. That means support not only when you are falling asleep, but also as the night goes on.*
This formula is for adults who want a steady three milligram dose rather than very high one time servings. It fits the range most experts describe as a typical adult amount.*
Why choose timed release melatonin instead of regular pills or gummies*
Built for sleep maintenance*
Fast acting melatonin helps you fall asleep. Timed release melatonin aims to support sleep through the night for healthy adults who wake too early.*
No sugar or candy format
Many melatonin products are gummies with sugar, dyes, and flavors. This capsule is sugar free and uses a clean label approach that fits most routines.
Designed to stack with other sleep tools*
Use timed release melatonin with calming magnesium, herbal formulas, and better sleep habits. It is a tool, not a stand alone cure for insomnia.*
What research says about melatonin dose and timing*
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that melatonin helps regulate sleep timing and may help with jet lag, shift work, and some insomnia cases. It also states that melatonin is usually safe for short term adult use at typical doses. See their overview here .
The Sleep Foundation explains that most adults start with 0.5 to 1 milligram. Many use one to three milligrams about thirty minutes before bed, with little benefit above five milligrams. Their dosage guide is here .
Harvard Health reports that melatonin can help some people fall asleep faster, especially older adults. It notes that melatonin does not replace treatment for chronic insomnia and that lower doses are usually preferable. You can read that article here .
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises that melatonin works best for circadian timing issues such as jet lag or shift work, and that persistent insomnia should be evaluated by a sleep professional. Their patient resources are available here .
Timed release melatonin adds a longer release curve. It is meant for adults who already focus on sleep hygiene and want extra support under professional guidance.*

How to use Melatonin 3 mg Timed Release*
Adults usually take one capsule thirty to sixty minutes before bed, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Start with the lowest serving that helps you. Do not increase intake above what your clinician recommends, especially if you use other melatonin products.
Do not take melatonin during the day or before driving. Avoid combining it with alcohol or other sedating supplements or drugs.
Melatonin is not usually recommended in pregnancy, while nursing, or in young children unless a healthcare professional is supervising use. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises parents to talk with a clinician before giving melatonin to children.

Melatonin 3 mg Timed Release frequently asked questions
Who is this melatonin for?
This formula is for healthy adults who want support for both falling asleep and staying asleep, and who already work on good sleep habits.*
How is it different from Wake/Sleep Dots?
Wake/Sleep Dots are one milligram fast acting dots that help with sleep onset. Melatonin 3 mg Timed Release is a three milligram capsule designed to release more gradually overnight.*
Can I take this every night?
Short term melatonin use at low to moderate doses appears safe for many adults. Long term nightly use, especially with other medications, should be reviewed with a qualified clinician who knows your history.
Will this fix chronic insomnia?
Melatonin helps with timing of sleep and can support some cases of sleeplessness. It does not replace a full workup for chronic insomnia, sleep apnea, or mood issues. For persistent problems, see a sleep professional.
