Herbatonin® 0.3 mg – The First Plant-Based, Natural Melatonin Supplement (Phyto-Melatonin) - Low Dose Sleep Aid, Supports Circadian Rhythm & Cellular Health – 90 Capsules (90 Day Supply)USDA Organic

I've been using this for ~1.5 years, and I finally found a method with this stuff that works for me to sleep throu the entire night- even when I am stressed out! My main problem is that i sleep lightly, and if I wake up and start thinking, my mental processor reboots, and them I'm screwed for the night and know I will have a tired headache next day.1. I read a Dr. Weil book where he said that research showed doses of melatonin as low as .25 mcg were the best and safest for longterm use.2. The lowest dose I could find anywhere until I found Herbatonin was 1mcg. So thats what I used.3. problem is that with 1mcg, Id always fall asleep, but if i woke up and rebooted, i was scared to take another pill to fall asleep again because then the effect would keep me tired all morning at work.4. This stuff is so minimal that its enough to always get me asleep initially, but even after as low as 2 hrs of sleep, if I wake up, I am refreshed and not drowsy.5. I reason that 3 of these pills equals 1mcg, so I can take up to three doses through the night and not be worse than the former stuff I was taking before.6. I did think about time release, but I think this way is better because I use less, and only as needed- IF I wake up and reboot.7. Thus far, it is working really well for me. At most Ive taken 3 in one night. Most of th time I just need 1-2. I even woke up once by the alarm clock with no interruptions! That NEVER happens to me!8. With this new method, my next goal would be to go to sleep without taking one. I find that Im usually always tired enough to fall asleep initially. My original thinking was to always take a melatonin initially because it would have the highest probability of potentially sleeping through the night with minimal drowsiness in the morning. Now that I know I can even take one as late as 430 am and be good to go at 6:30 am, I can just fall asleep without even taking one. IF i wake up I can always take one....but just maybe Ill sleep one night all the way through naturally.So in summary, with Herbatonin, I not only get better sleep, but I also reduce the anxiety of waking up with insomnia, (which puts me even more at ease and makes me rest even better), and I have HOPE that I can actually hit a point where I can sleep theough e night naturally with no phamecetical aids! I LOVE THIS STUFF

I tried Melatonin from other sources with no success. This was recommended by a life long friend so I tried. Just received my second order and it is slowly and in a steady manner changing my sleep pattern!

I absolutely can not believe this product! I was taking the regular melatonin and there is no comparison. I have had fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue since 1990. Sleep has been extremely difficult usually waking feeling like a Mack truck not only hit me but drug me down the road! I used a prescription drug for many years but it would only keep me asleep for maybe 3 hours. Then a few years ago it started making me nauseous. I started taking melatonin about a year ago but again it mostly just kept me asleep for a few hours. And kept me drowsy all day.I have taken Herbatonin for three nights now and I have slept through the night all three nights. Only waking once nightly for the bathroom (I am 75 afterall). My husband took it last night also and actually slept completely through the night! He usually gets up several times for the bathroom, go figure. He usually naps a couple of hours after waking 10:00 am and no nap yet! I will never be without this wonderful product!!!

A good product, I think, I like that a small dose is sufficient and helps induce sleep. I’m taking it every evening. Per manufacturer it is identical to the human-made melatonin and not chemically synthesized like most melatonin on the market.

I came back to write a new review because I wanted to give herbatonin one more chance. Prior to trying herbatonin I was taking about .75mg of Naturemade melatonin (using a pill cutter).When I first tried the Herbatonin product I tried only taking .3mg and it didn't work. Then I tried taking .3mg and then would take another .3mg if I woke up. Didn't work. I tried taking .6mg at once and had better results falling asleep, but it did not keep me asleep. Then I tried taking .6mg and then .3mg if I woke up. Didn't help me fall back asleep.Going back on .75mg of the Naturemade melatonin, I could tell right away that my sleep was so much better. Maybe its just that .75mg is my number? Maybe not.Most recently I've been recording my sleep data because I stopped taking a creatine supplement as I wanted to see how my sleep would improve, which it actually did for a few weeks. Then I thought that because I've been sleeping so well I could go back on the herbatonin and try to have less melatonin and eventually get off of it. As soon as I started taking the herbatonin my sleep duration tanked!I don't know if it's just an absorption issue since it's plant based, or if it's just a placebo (as the product isn't tested by a certified testing agency). I can tell that it definitely tastes like a plant. But I really don't know. I tried to give it another go and it just seemed like it was not very effective.I know melatonin doesn't technically help you stay asleep, but it can improve quality of your sleep which in turn can lengthen the overall duration. So my guess is that it's just not the best form of melatonin.I'd love for the company to do some research on absorption to get a better idea of how much the body is actually absorbing from it and if there are ways to increase absorption.

I switched to this brand after listening to a podcast from a Naturopathic Dr. I usually take two at a time, as my previous brand was .5mg. I find that there is no morning carryover of sleepiness. Taking two of these with my magnesium and calcium work really well.
