This 5mg **Melatonin** tablet targets sleep onset — helping you fall asleep faster — and sits right at the top of the clinically studied 0.5–5mg range. At this dose you're getting a full, effective amount for shortening the time it takes to drift off and for resetting your body clock after travel.

Here's the honest part: research shows lower doses of 0.5–3mg work just as well as 5mg for most people falling asleep — more melatonin isn't more effective, and higher amounts can leave some people groggy the next morning. The chewable, peppermint-flavored tablet dissolves before bed, so it acts quickly.

That makes this a solid pick if you've already tried a lower dose and found it didn't do enough. If you're new to melatonin, you'd likely do just as well starting lower and saving 5mg for nights you genuinely need it.
