Excessively high 20mg melatonin gummy with added sugar, highly unrecommended due to safety concerns.
Vitamatic's Melatonin Gummies deliver an alarmingly high 20 mg of melatonin per serving, a dose that greatly exceeds typical recommendations and carries significant risks of adverse effects like severe next-day grogginess and potential long-term disruption of natural sleep patterns. Compounding this issue, the product is in a gummy form with added sugars and calories, further diminishing its health profile. It is not suitable for routine over-the-counter use.
- None for general over-the-counter use due to the extreme dosage.
- Contains an excessively high 20 mg melatonin dose, significantly increasing risk of severe side effects and dependence.
- Gummy form includes added sugars (4g carbohydrates, 16 calories), which are undesirable for health.
- Likely to cause pronounced next-day grogginess, vivid dreams, or rebound insomnia.
- This extreme dosage is highly inadvisable for general consumption and poses considerable health risks. Only use under strict medical supervision.
- Increased risk of adverse interactions with other medications, particularly sedatives.
- Not suitable for long-term use; may disrupt the body's natural sleep cycle permanently.

Melatonin 25.0
Among melatonin products, this gummy ranks extremely low due to its dangerously high dosage and added sugar, making it unsuitable for the majority of consumers seeking safe and effective sleep support.
Goals
Sleep Support 45.0
While a 20 mg dose will induce sleep, it is far beyond what is necessary or safe for most individuals, leading to concerns about dependency, severe side effects, and long-term disruption of natural sleep. It is a poor choice for healthy sleep support.
Stress Relief 30.0
The overwhelming dose and potential for severe side effects like prolonged drowsiness or rebound insomnia could easily exacerbate stress rather than alleviate it. This product is not designed for healthy stress management.
Anti-Aging 10.0
There is no scientific basis to suggest that such an extreme dose of melatonin offers safe or effective anti-aging benefits. The severe risks associated with this dosage far outweigh any theoretical advantages.

Although its price per serving is higher (0.61 vs 0.46), it offers a much more comprehensive and effective blend of sleep-supporting ingredients (GABA, Ashwagandha, Valerian, etc.) for a more effective and balanced sleep experience, representing better overall value for a comprehensive solution.
