Some people may be getting more than they bargained for when taking melatonin gummies to help them sleep. A new study found that melatonin gummies may contain up to three times more melatonin than advertised due to little FDA oversight.
Here & Now's Scott Tong speaks with STAT reporter Nicholas Florko about why this is concerning.

SGT (Join to see) PO1 William "Chip" Nagel there’s not enough melatonin to get my brain to shut off. So gummies aren’t an option for me.

Maj Kim Patterson Don't think it will make Your Brain Shut down but Once or Twice I Know I had too much Melatonin in My System. It wasn't a "Bad Trip" but I was "Tripping". While I Have a High Tolerance, Over 15 MG I Don't Recommend.

My doc & I talked about it, so I bought a bottle of 3mg. Tried it, I didn't feel like it was a sleep aid. Dumped it into the med-disposal bin at the pharmacy.

SGT (Join to see) It is a "Drug" the Human Sleep Hormone or More Correctly the "Dream" Hormone, a Little Too Much and You May be "Daydreaming" a Lot to Much Strong Dream while you're awake? There is a Name for that it is Called Hallucinations! Yes I've Exceeded the Appropriate Dosage before, Don't recommend doing that! Poor Mans LSD.
