Melatonin is a hormone, it can wreak havoc on your body if taken incorrectly. In fact, the US is one of the only (if not the only) western country to allow it to be purchased OTC..
If you are going to take melatonin, you should not take more than 1 tablet a night, approximately an hour before bed.... but use it seldomly.
