Melatonin gummies are a type of melatonin supplement that are formed into soft, chewable gummies. They are marketed to help people with sleep troubles, and people commonly choose to take melatonin supplements to help them fall asleep or to manage sleep problems like jet lag. Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced in the brain and helps to regulate the bodys sleep rhythm. Melatonin gummies mimic the bodys natural melatonin hormone, which relaxes the mind and body to prepare sleepers for bedtime. Like other forms of melatonin, melatonin gummies can increase the amount of melatonin in the body to help people fall asleep faster, especially if they experience jet lag or circadian rhythm disturbances.

It is important to note that melatonin gummies may not lead to better sleep quality for everyone, and current research does not indicate that melatonin gummies are more or less effective than any other type of melatonin supplement. Additionally, over-the-counter supplements may not reliably contain the advertised amount of melatonin. While melatonin supplements can be effective for people with sleep issues, there are some mild risks to using melatonin supplements, and side effects of melatonin supplements can include headache, dizziness, nausea, and persisting sedation carrying over to the next morning if too high a dose is taken for an individual. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before using melatonin, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
