Thorne Melaton-3 review

Thorne Melaton-3 is the most carefully certified plain melatonin on this list. Each capsule holds 3mg of melatonin, and the only other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, calcium laurate and a cellulose capsule. Thorne lists it as NSF Certified for Sport, which matters for athletes who face drug testing, and as gluten, dairy and soy free and vegan. The page says to take one capsule at bedtime and pitches it at people whose sleep patterns change with travel or work. A 60-capsule bottle costs $16, about $0.27 a night, which is still cheap in absolute terms but close to four times Nature Made's nightly cost. Thorne also warns that melatonin may add to the effect of blood-thinning drugs and should be used with caution or avoided before surgery. Thorne accepts FSA and HSA funds through Truemed, which helps buyers paying with pre-tax money.
