I had high expectations for this product as Thorne is a reputable brand, but it didn’t meet them. A single dose of 5mg (which is the highest dose recommended by doctors) had little effect on my sleep. I tried doubling the dose; it was more effective, but nowhere near as effective as other melatonin products I have tried.

I checked the reviews on various sites. Most were very positive, but when reading the negative ones, there is a pattern of the same complaint: On Amazon, they blocked access to see more reviews, and I am not sure what to think about that.

It also contains fillers, which are not histamine irritants, but some people may be hypersensitive to them. Ingredients like microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, or calcium laurate can still trigger symptoms in susceptible people.

Now, the positives:

• The small capsule size makes it easy to take.
• The taste is neutral.
• No histamine symptoms

Overall:

For the price, I expected something more effective and cleaner. I wouldn’t recommend this specific formulation, as there are cheaper and better alternatives.
