NOW Melatonin 3 mg Veg Capsules are the cheapest way into melatonin on this list. A 60-capsule bottle costs $6.99, and the 180-capsule bottle costs $14.99, which brings the nightly price down to about $0.08. Each capsule holds 3 mg of melatonin with rice flour and a cellulose capsule, and NOW labels the product halal, kosher, vegan, non-GMO and gluten free. The caution text is clear: adults only, at bedtime, not with alcohol or before driving, and check with a physician if you take sedatives or antidepressants. NOW also sells the same dose as lozenges and makes 1 mg and 5 mg versions for people who want to adjust. What it lacks is an outside certification on the page; NOW lists awards from Vitamin Retailer Magazine, but not a USP or NSF mark. That is why it ranks below Nature Made and Thorne on quality.
