Best Melatonin?

[Smokescreen]

Does anyone know of a really good brand of Melatonin?

Can't use Needtosleep. I take that stuff and I can't wake up at 5am to go train. And when I do wake up...my training is weak.

And no. I cannot change my training routine around. 5am is the ONLY time I can go. :-( Sucks.

You didn't say what strength you were using. I know the cheap stuff comes in 330mcg, 1mg, 3mg and 5mg. Melatonin is strange in that your body seems to compensate for a larger dose more quickly than the actual effects set in. In other words, the lower dose might be more effective on you. I cannot tolerate the 300mcg, as the dreams get really crazy and spill over into the waking world as brief hallucinations right when I wake up, accompanied by extreme drowsiness. The 1mg pills knock me the hell out, with no drowsiness in the morning, and the 3mg pills don't seem to work as well. Try the different strengths, a higher dosage might be the answer.
As far as brands go, melatonin is melatonin. Get the cheapies.
