Vitafusion Melatonin Gummy Vitamins, 140 Count (Pack of 1)

The Gummies arrived in perfect condition, and were not melted at all
I bought these Gummies using Prime and had them delivered using 2-Day Shipping. The Gummies arrived in perfect condition, and were not melted at all. The Gummies left a waxy residue on the inside of the bottle, but this has no affected the Gummies themselves.Taste-wise, these Gummies have a peach-like flavour. They are similar in taste to the peach Vitafusion Multivites Gummies. Personally, I’m a fan!I am taking Melatonin as I suffer from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) and I naturally fall asleep around 3am and wake up by 12pm. I am trying to shift my circadian rhythm so that I fall asleep by 12am. As this was my first experience with Melatonin, I ate a single Gummy (1.5mg Melatonin) before bedtime (10pm). This made me sleepy within 15 minutes of taking it. This sleepiness did not feel natural, it was more of a drugged feeling, and my mind and body felt sluggish. I fell asleep and awoke the next day at 1.30pm, still feeling drugged (the Melatonin ‘hangover’). This meant 1.5mg was too high of a dose and I needed to reduce the amount.The next night, I cut a single Gummy (~0.4mg) into quarters, and ate 1 of those quarters before bedtime. I began feeling sleepy 15-20 minutes later, and went to bed. However, my brain did not go into sleep-mode, and I was conscious of being sleepy but unable to fall asleep. I also woke up frequently throughout the night and had trouble going back to sleep.I will continue experimenting with this until I figure out the Goldilocks amount of Melatonin that I need, or until I give up. My process is to take half of a Gummy (~0.7mg) next, and either increase or reduce the amount by 1/8. If this does not work, I may switch to the extended release 300mcg tablets, or the liquid Melatonin (0.25mg per drop).If you suffer from DSPS like I do, then taking a higher dosage of Melatonin will likely not have the desired effect we need to shift the circadian rhythm. In fact, the body may become unresponsive to the higher dosage or Melatonin, so that it will no longer have any effect. Research tends to suggest that DSPS sufferers benefit from very low doses of extended-release Melatonin (between 0.3mg and 1 mg), meaning that 1.5mg, 3mg, 2.5mg, and 5mg are all possibly far too high for us. However, even though we are trying to alert the body that it is time to sleep using Melatonin, the body itself may reject it as according to its circadian rhythm (and the time the body begins releasing its own Melatonin), it is not time to sleep as yet. In such cases, the external Melatonin may not have any effect.The main points to come away with are: Melatonin may work for DSPS sufferers, or it may not. It depends on how the body reacts to it. Melatonin should not be taken as a ‘sleeping pill’, as it is a hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm. If your circadian rhythm is fine and in sync with society’s norms (i.e. you fall asleep at a ‘normal’ hour and wake up at a ‘normal’ hour in time for a 9-5 job), then you should NOT take Melatonin. Even though these Gummies are delicious, you should only give them to children under medical supervision, as it is a HORMONE and can have an impact on puberty. People have reportedly felt depressed while taking Melatonin, so use your discretion. If you realize your mood is being altered, stop taking Melatonin and speak to a medical practitioner. If you feel drugged or lethargic, reduce the amount of Melatonin that you are taking. There are more side effects that you may experience while taking Melatonin, so please take some time to read these before taking this Gummy.I will continue to update this review from time to time to share my ongoing experiences with these Melatonin Gummies in hopes that it will help other DSPS sufferers out there.Update: February 14th, 2019. A little over 1 year later.These gummies are effective for me, in terms of making me sleepy. Initially, I only needed a small amount, but then I needed 1 whole gummy, then a bit more than 1 whole gummy, and now I’m onto needing two whole gummies. I’m very sad to say that the melatonin did not actually work in terms of helping me adjust my circadian rhythm. Instead, they do act like a sleeping aid, where they make me drowsy, and I would have a very restful, undisturbed, almost drugged sleep. Even people being noisy didn’t wake me up. I don’t feel drugged when I wake up though, I feel very refreshed. I’ve now stopped using these unless I need to wake up early. At this point I’m using it like a sleeping aid, which wasn’t what I had initially planned. I sincerely hope it helps you in regulating your circadian rhythm. It just doesn’t seem like it’ll work out that way for me.

Vitafusion Melatonin Gummies That Really Work For Me
I take these every night and love them. The chewy gummy texture makes them easy and enjoyable to eat, and they help me fall asleep fast. Two gummies are enough when I sleep around 6 hours, and even one gummy works well if I am sleeping for a shorter time.

10/10 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Absolutely fabulous. I feel like a new man!!

Perfect Dosage & Great Taste
These help you sleep with just the right amount of melatonin so you don’t overload your body and get an unnatural tolerance. It’s 1.5mg per gummy so you can moderate your dosage easy, but unless you’re used to a lot of melatonin, I’d recommend one or two to keep sleep natural.I wish they made these as a candy! White tea with peach is such a good flavor.
