Melatonin is often misunderstood in its effectiveness for insomnia, with many clinicians hesitant to recommend it due to lack of regulation and variability in dosing. Studies reveal that melatonin supplements can contain anywhere from 83% less to 478% more than what is stated on the label, raising concerns about safety and efficacy. Additionally, many users take doses significantly higher than what the body naturally produces, which could potentially disrupt the body's own melatonin production.
