What’s a good dose for someone wanting to try melatonin?

I would try low dose .03mg and work up from there.  Herbatonin is a .3mg plant-based melatonin, not synthethic.  I take it about one time per week on average if I have trouble falling asleep. Too much melatonin can actually have the opposite effect and keep you awake.  The average person makes about .3mg per night.  Some people need more, so their recommendation is to start with one .3mg capsule and go to 2 and then 3 if needed.

I’ve tried a few times before but I feel like the dose has always been too high.

 

I am very sensitive to both Rx meds and OTC supplements. I only take 1 mg of melatonin FYI.
