Benevolent Liquid Melatonin Drops for Adults and Kids 3mg – 2 Fl Oz | Fast-Acting Sleep Drops to Fall Asleep Faster & Longer - Non-GMO & Made in USA – Berry Vanilla Flavor, 2 Month Supply

I've now been using this brand of liquid melatonin for about six months; this is my third purchase. I was trying to transition from a comfy 8 AM wakeup time to 5 AM, and having trouble going to sleep early enough for a 5 AM wakeup. I also had trouble waking in the night and not being able to go to sleep. Melatonin tablets didn't seem to help, and of course it's hard to adjust tablet dosage even if a good pill splitter. I had used liquid melatonin to help an older person with sleep issues, and it had helped her a lot. I remembered that she had liked the raspberry flavor, so I gave the Benevolent melatonin a try. It seemed expensive, but wow! It's been wonderful. Because it's sublingual, it acts rapidly, and because it's liquid, I can adjust the number of drops so my dosage gets me to sleep easily, but doesn't make me drowsy at wakeup time. I confess I tried a less expensive brand recently, but immediately ordered this one again because the flavor is just right for me. Just tasting it at bedtime helps me start to feel sleepy. I suppose not everyone would appeciate the sweetness and subtley of the flavor, but I love it. One bottle lasts me about 3 months, so it's well worth the price.

Until now I've been using Maxi-Health's Melatonin drops (before which I was using their Mellow-Chew Tablets), and although I really liked the product (it helped me go to sleep really easily) I was feeling the bite of the price. As I keep kosher, I basically assumed that I had no other options, until I came across this, which was about two dollars cheaper. The drops seem to be just as effective, and I'm able to sleep easily after taking this. The only differences that I noticed are the fact that this dropper doesn't fill up all of the way, no matter how much you squeeze the rubber part on top. This doesn't affect me too much; I just use the dropper twice instead of once, and I get the same amount. This (very slight) limitation brings to focus another slight concern that I have had with both brands- they state the dosage as "30 drops", when there is no way that I'm going to hold my head up while I patiently drip out thirty drops. Instead I just guesstimated it to be one dropper full, which has worked for me, but your mileage may vary. The other difference between the Benevolent Nourishment drops and the Maxi-Health drops is the fact that while Maxi-Health's dropper is plastic, Benvolent's dropper is glass, which makes me a little queasy about the dropper breaking and me not noticing in the dark room, and cutting my tongue on it. This hasn't happened, though (you can be sure I'll update this if it ever does), so I'm going to consider that a minor ding, and I'm still going to leave this at five stars.

There are the best M. drops we tried so far. they do cost more but they actually work. But you do have a 'window of opportunity'. They kick in after 20-30 mins and if you dont go to sleep within about half an hour then you will be back to wide awake.

Worked good, was looking for more natural

Of all of the liquid melatonin products that I have tried, the Benevolent brand is the best, not only in effectiveness, but also in taste. I have a CLOCK gene mutation that causes delayed sleep, meaning it takes several hours to fall asleep. I had been taking melatonin in pill form for a while and that wasn't helping, so a naturopathic doctor that I was seeing suggested taking it in liquid form. Surprisingly it did make a difference but I still had to do some tweaking with the timing of taking it. I learned that for someone who has a sleep delayed disorder, it's best to take melatonin a few hours earlier than indicated, so that it has time to work. It's worth experimenting to find what time taking it works best for you. I highly recommend Benevolent company products because they're high quality, and they're very effective, The bonus is they taste good too, which is especially helpful in getting children & picky adults to use the product.

The best tasting melatonin!

I bought this for my ADHD family. Particularly my 10 year old son and I have trouble falling asleep at night. I also have PTSD so my sleep difficulties can seem a bit immense. I wanted something safe and alcohol free for my children. This melatonin really works but only if I take it and go right to bed. I notice several minutes after taking a dose of this I begin to yawn and feel sleepy, I fall asleep if I go right in to bed, if I am still up to do anything else it passes and I have to take it again when I lay down for the night. My son took it one night and then edited a few pictures on his phone, he was not able to fall asleep afterwards. To me the flavor is extremely sweet but tolerable, my son likes the flavor. I like that it is safe for my family! My main concern is that we have gone through roughly half the bottle already! That’s approximately $1 a day for two of us to get sleepy at bedtime if taking only 3mg per day! I know there are other more cost effective brands out there but the alcohol free melatonin tends to be a bit pricey! The small window of time the product is effective is also a bit of a hassle. I am a single mom of two and I have to lay down in that few minute time period for this to be helpful. This might be due to the liquid form verses pills so I plan to do some research for future use. The flavor is a highly personal taste. This is a sweet raspberry flavor, I do not taste any vanilla. It doesn’t leave an aftertaste and goes away in a few minutes. I place the drops under the tongue for best absorption, the dropper fills up about halfway and apparently two of those is approximately 3mg, I have not found a need for more unless I was unable to go right to bed after taking a dose, in which case a whole new dose is necessary! Due to the price I will be looking for another melatonin for my family but this does work without any negative effects so we may choose to use it in the future.

Best working melatonin for me and my son. We’ve Used it for years. When we try others they don’t work as well. Pills don’t work at all. My son and I have pretty bad ADHD so staying on schedule and winding down was an issue. I started him on this when he was 7 or 8. Very low dose (6 or 7 drops). Most people give their kids way too much which causes the body to make less melatonin. The idea instead is to remind your body to make it. A little bit causes your body to make more. My son sleeps on time every night thanks to this stuff. I give him 7 drops (under a milligram) after dinner under the tongue. An hour later he’s tired and almost out. Now he’s 14 and doesn’t need them because he has a schedule that works for him, After so many years of melatonin. Good thing since the dr says to back off when teenagers start making hormones so as not to mess with biology. Now if he needs anything he takes 50 to 100 msg of magnesium Glycinate and sometimes some chamomile tea and he says it works fine.
