A melatonin serving may be more than one gummy or tablet, and extended-release products are designed differently. Read serving size and release form first.

What to compare on product labels

• Identify immediate-release, extended-release, or dual-release design.
• Match milligrams to the real serving for tablets, gummies, or liquids.
• Check for magnesium, theanine, valerian, or other sedating ingredients.
