   Normally, most Melatonin, whether capsules or tablets, and whether purchased online or in stores, come, generally, in 1 mg, 3 mg, 5 mg and, occasionally, 10 mg and costing between about $10.00 to $20.00 for, give or take, about 100 quantity. Unfortunately, the quality and accuracy of quantity is never assured thus leaving one to guess how any to take. Having taken Melatonin, on average about 20mg per night, for the better part of twenty years I can say that finding good quality Melatonin is a definite hit or miss proposition. One brand (going by their label) may require anywhere from 30 to 50 or more mg but, in point of fact, the actual amount taken, per results, is actually far less. Which is the reason for deciding to switch to the bulk form.

   After spending some days (and nights) reviewing what was available I decided that Bulk Supplements Melatonin would be a good candidate to try. As an initial test I went for the 10 gram (.35oz) bag of Bulk Supplement’s Melatonin. Also, after reviewing, decided to, also, go for a bottle of 200 of Carlson’s Empty Gelatin #2 Capsules (I chose this because the capsules came in a bottle; although, future may see bags which can be transferred to bottles and which are cheaper I larger quantity). Additionally, I opted for Synaptent’s Disposable Antistatic Polypropylene Sample Transfer Scoop, 8-12 mg Capacity, Large, Blue (Pack of 100) FBA. “Heaping” amounting to about 20mg +/-. Finally, I chose the American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20 Portable MilliGram Scale, 20 by 0.001 G for weighing and measuring. Regarding all thee options I am most happy with.

   Now, then, as to Bulk Supplement’s Melatonin; first, a comment as to the packaging. It came in a small zip lock baggie (which, as another reviewer noticed, the zip lock after only a few times, tore and was of little value. This, the small baggie, came inside a larger metallic zip lock baggy containing the label and, after folding over the inner baggie which was then repeatedly after each use, replaced inside the metallic baggie/envelope. This proved unacceptable for dispensing, i.e. “spooning” out of the baggie for insertion into a capsule (about 7 [i.e. 1 week’s worth] capsules filled at a time. The smaller baggie is impossible to keep open while withdrawing a “spoonful”; also, I need to find some means to make the larger half of the capsules to remain in an upright position while setting on the scale being filled. I finally used an old small RX airtight jar which has answered one of those two problems. I strongly urge Bulk Supplements to switch from baggies to small jars that will sit upright and make it easier and less sloppily to work from.

   Finally, as to the Melatonin itself, and this is after only about two weeks now, I am finding that about 25mg per dose works quite fine for my needs. Now this must be tempered against my own body chemistry, about 30 other vitamins, minerals and supplements and several RX prescriptions I currently take daily for several years now. (I am, also, taking 5-HTP [capsule form] in tandem with the Melatonin; however, I recently ordered this in bulk from Bulk Supplement’s but since that was only received today it will be about two weeks before a review can be made). As to the quality of the Melatonin, using the scale, I am finding, as previously mentioned, 25mg gives good-and calm-sleep with no detrimental side effects upon awakening. Others, depending on their own individual body chemistry etc make fid less, 5 or 10 mg perhaps, will be satisfactory for their needs, this can only be determined by individual trial and error. Fortunately, in these small dosages Melatonin is not something to be too concerned with as regards over dosage.

   If normal bottles of Melatonin (assume $15/avg per bottle for 100 tabs/caps then this 10 gram bag for $16.96 equals (for me, about 500 doses) about $75 or about a $60 savings. Obviously, for others needing, say only 10mg per dose, then the savings immediately jumps to about $100.

   All in all, I am most happy with this initial trial and am considering strongly looking into replacing many of my bottles of other vitamins, minerals and supplements (close to $400/mo) with the bulk alternative. Kudos to Bulk Supplements for making these items available; in addition to the purity and quality, the cost alone, especially for retired persons and/or those of limited budgets, is a very worthwhile alternative.

   Conic Ellipse – 25 de setembro de 2024

   My psychiatrist recommended that I use a powder based melatonin product over any others because the powder acts much faster than the other forms.

   I’ll review the product before I explain the title of this review.

   I got this in quickly after ordering. It was packaged well and I am very happy with the seller. There is a little zip-lock baggie containing 25 GRAMS of the melatonin powder inside the aluminum foil pouch.

   The product is amazing. When I take it, I gently fall asleep within about 15 minutes. It get a good, full night’s rest and wake up feeling normal (as in there are no side effects from the melatonin powder that I can detect).

   To take this, I open the baggie and take out 1 to 3 MILLIgrams of the powder and place it on my tongue. I wash it down with about 4 ounces of water and then immediately get into bed and try to relax. This stuff works so quickly for me that I sometimes fall asleep while praying!

   I recommend that anyone who has sleep issues and wants to try a melatonin product to give this one a try. It seems expensive compared to capsules and other products, but with this particular item, you are getting 8,333 doses for the price! I believe this is pure, bulk malatonin and I want to say there is no filler of any kind in it.

   Okay, now to explain the headline (a cautionary tale). I don’t know why, but when I first ordered this product, I thought it said the dosage was 1 to 3 GRAMS. That would make this purchase provide between 8 and 25 doses. I thought it was kind of expensive for the price, but I am following my doctor’s suggestions.

   I started out with a 1 gram dose. I slept REALLY well and about 18 hours! I did this for a few days. I then wondered if I was lucky and didn’t need to take a full gram, so I cut down to about a half gram. I was still sleeping for between 12 and 16 hours a day! (I am not able to work right now, so over-sleeping isn’t the end of the world for me) My sleep cycle was all over the place. Sometimes I was up from late at night to sunrise, and sometimes I was in bed at 6 pm and slept until noon the next day!

   After about a week, I put on my glasses and read the back of the package. Lo and behold, the dosage was 1 to 3 MILLIgrams. Whoops! Where did I get 1 to 3 GRAMS from? Maybe it was my sleep deprived state that made me SEE that high dosage. I’m caught up on my sleep now, though! 🙂

   I adjusted my dosage way down to about 1 to 3 milligrams (such a small amount is really hard to measure out — you might want to buy a digital scale). Since changing to the suggested dosage, I have been able to get back on a regular sleep schedule and my sleep duration is about 7.5 to 9 hours a night. I am very happy with this. If my body winds up needing to pee while I’m asleep, I can still wake up from my slumber without any kind of brain fog or sluggishness and use the restroom. After, when I hop back into bed, I fall back to sleep quickly and without issue.

   I recommend this product and plan to buy it again if the need arises.
