What is the melatonin in this derived from? Is it synthetic.. The description is very vague. I wish companies would explain their product better..

The label only says melatonin. However, there is a website address AdvantaSupplements.com where you can contact them to ask your question.

Originally melatonin was derived from animal pineal tissue, such as bovine. ALL melatonin is now synthetic (unless stated otherwise) and does not carry a risk of contamination or the means of transmitting viral material.

I don't really know -- the bottle doesn't say. But it does say that it is manufactured in a facility which also may process milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, etc -- so sounds like natural. The melatonin works well for me.

GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin. Label dosage did nothing for me, needed more, then was drowsy the next day. Better to eat dried cherries.

They're the same size as an aspirin. Super tiny. Also, I've never been able to tell if melatonin truly works, or if it's a placebo effect, but it "works" every time. So placebo or not, within 20 minutes of taking melatonin (assuming I'm in bed thinking about the pleasure of sleeping), I always fall asleep.

Glad to clear up the misread. The product description indicates the list of ingredients it does NOT have which is Oxybenzone. whew! I would not use a product that contained Oxybenzone! Have used Sunology products for years! Amazing products!

Melatonin and Valarian and tastes like orange Gatorade. They are quite expensive so I decided to just get the 5mg tablets at grocery store or drug store. CVS has the 10mg.

According to the back of my bottle: Other Ingredients: Di-Calcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, croscermellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Ethylcellulose, Methoxylcellulose. Contains no: artificial flavor or sweetener, preservatives, sugar, starch, milk, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, or sodium.For what it's worth, I personally have never had any problems with this brand of melatonin. I have a very sensitive stomach, and this has never irritated it. Hope that helps!

I have no idea. As far as I know it's chemically synthesized in a lab. There must have been something organic as a raw material; but I don't know what that was.

I believe the pills are safe. I have used them; they just don't help me with my insomnia. I have not found a melatonin that does though so I would not let that deter you from trying this. It was recommended to me by a co-worker who swears by its effectiveness.

This supplement was prescribed by my neurosurgeon for treatment of my neuropathy. It has help eased the pain on my foot, but I have to ask my doctor if the said pills are natural or synthetic. My suggestion is the to ask the manufacturer of this said supplement. Sorry I can answer your question at this point.

I think that there is nothing but melatonin and Vitamin B-6 inside. Melatonin is created in your body and also exists in some food like beef so I don't think melatonin caused the sweats. Maybe your body reacted to the Vitamin B-6!?

So one answer was, "This particular mink oil is natural." Saying that it's natural could mean that this is 5% mink oil, and 95% other animal fats or vegetable oil etc. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I'd really like to know what the breakdown is.

I only purchase natural products that are natural. When I read ingredients and do not understand them I than look up info for it or continue to look for something I know that is safe. This is an item I will not purchase.

It's natural, known herbal ingredients like, melatonin, black cohosh root, calcium, and soy isoflavones. Before I started taking Estroven Night, I was going crazy with night sweats! Throwing off covers when I was hot, pulling them back up when I got cold, ALL night long! Now I take one, at least an hour before bedtime, along with a handful of walnuts, and I sleep like the dead! I was very happy to find it at a price LOWER than my local Walmart's price! Even with shipping, it's lower! I buy 4 at a time, so I only have to do it a couple of times a year. I highly recommend it if you are having night sweats. It's natural, known herbal ingredients like, melatonin, black cohosh root, calcium, and soy isoflavones.

It contains GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin, Calcium Carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate and ethylcellulose. Can't say it did much good. Also has some warnings. Too expensive. Do not recommend.

If you look at the images (specifically the 2nd one) you can see B12 listed on the side of the box. There's an asterisk next to it though and at the bottom it just says "*Raw food-created nutrients". You'd probably have to contact the company to get more specifics. At the very least you know it's a raw food-based source which is way better than some synthetic source made in a lab.

I believe they are exactly the same thing. After I tried Sleep I found the NM Melatonin w/ L-theanine. Works exactly the same for me but much cheaper.
