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

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.

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.

I have 5 elderly ferrets, all between 4-5 years old. Four are neutered males and one is a spayed female. The female developed a swollen vulva, as well as hair loss last fall. At least 2 of the males also have developed hair loss. It was pretty evident that they had developed adrenal disease. After hearing about the use of melatonin supplements to treat adrenal disease in ferrets, I tried oral melatonin pills (crushed and put in baby food, approximately 1 mg/day/ferret), given 7-9 hours after sunrise (per the protocol), and hair growth resumed, and the female's vulva returned to normal. I gave the melatonin to all 5 ferrets (even the two not showing symptoms), as some research says it may be helpful in delaying or preventing the onset of adrenal disease in ferrets. The problem I encountered with the crushed melatonin pills, which had to be given 7-9 hours after sunrise in order to work, was compliance - it was hard to always give it at that specific time. I then considered how melatonin implants work. Rather than giving a bolus of melatonin at one specific time in the day, they slowly secrete melatonin throughout the day. I decided to try putting the melatonin in the ferrets' water bottles, so that they would get a little melatonin each time they took a drink during the day. First, I tried crushing the melatonin pills, but they would not go into solution. So, I tried Benevolent liquid melatonin 3mg/ml, and found that it goes into solution quite well. I put approximately 3 mg (30 drops) into their 16 ounce water bottle and shake well. I have been doing this for a few months now, and my ferrets' coats have come back in. The female's vulva is not swollen. Several of the ferrets have put on weight. The only side effect I have noticed is that the ferrets do seem to sleep a bit more - but, as they are elderly ferrets, sleeping more is probably not that unusual. Anyway, I have been very happy with the way this product has worked for my ferrets. It is definitely helping to relieve at least the symptoms of their adrenal disease, it is easy to use in their water, and it is not nearly as expensive as adrenal surgery or melatonin implants. **PLEASE NOTE - I AM NOT A VETERINARIAN AND AM NOT GIVING ANY VETERINARY ADVICE HERE - I AM MERELY SHARING MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

First I should mention that I’ve had chronic insomnia for decades. It started in my 20’s, and I took prescription sleep meds for years, but due to the many side effects experienced by many and medical studies about long-term damage, I decided to quit them a few years ago after I retired. I’ve since tried multiple forms and dosages of melatonin. I found lower doses, about 2mg, work best for me. Capsules and sprays didn’t work at all, but the liquids seem to be a bit better absorbed. I’ve been using this brand for several years, and it works fairly well most of the time up until recently. I started experiencing what I suspect is rebound insomnia, which is a fairly common occurrence after taking any kind of sleep Med for awhile. After doing some research, I discovered liposomal melatonin, which is absorbed better by the body. It seems to be working much better than this product, so I won’t be buying this one anymore. It did work for me for a couple of years, so it may work fine for others on a long-term basis. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who only needs it for occasional insomnia.

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.

Parents, start your kids off SMALL. bought this for my soon to be 5 year old whos struggled to fall asleep and was excited to try things to help him. Hes maybe a little more than 30lbs. I gave him 5 drops the first night (.5 mg) and it dang near drugged the kid. This is the lowest dose for his age group. So the next night i gave him 3 drops, still knocked. Tonight i gave him 2 drops and it still kicked his butt! We get him a drink, read 2-3 books, and by the time his books are done he is on the brink of sleep. Literally 10 seconds and my baby is out. Compared to *hours* awake with him talking, trying to play, moving around, unable to quiet his mind or body. I might try 1 drop tomorrow because wow. He also says it tastes great and asks for 5 drops 😂 The only complaint i have is that it doesnt help him sleep through the night, but that honestly wasnt the reason we got these drops. Still 5 stars for me!

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.

The product arrived a day early and I'm so thankful that it did. My husband and I decided to use Melatonin for our autistic 2 year old after guidance from his doctors. This has seriously been a miracle for us. Prior to this week it would take us almost 3 hours to get this poor kid to sleep. After starting this product he has been falling asleep within 15 minutes of laying down with me. I'm very emotional as I write this because it was so hard to watch him struggle to fall sleep. To be able to see him fall asleep so peaceful is something I was worried would never happen for him. Thank you for making such a quality product. For those wondering, we were advised to give him a quarter of those dosage which is about 7-8 drops. It's approximately a quarter of the eye dropper full of the liquid. He doesn't show any signs of it tasting bad either. He takes it without any struggle or coaxing.
