3 Reasons To Avoid Melatonin
(And What Experts Recommend Instead For Better Sleep)
Although melatonin supplements are becoming increasingly more popular for addressing sleep issues, experts warn that they may not be the best choice for everyone.
Thousands of people are switching to Magnesium and seeing results in as little as 7 days of consistent use!
1. Concerning Side Effects & High Overdose Risks
Although melatonin is generally safe for short‒term use, some users experience side effects such as drowsiness, headaches, dizziness, and nausea.1
Adding to the concern, one study found that 71% of melatonin products tested had inaccurate dosing, with some containing nearly five times the amount listed on the label.2
This inconsistency increases the risk of side effects, especially in children, where melatonin overdoses have increased dramatically (+530% in the last decade.3)
2. It Doesn't Solve Sleep Issues in the Long Term
Melatonin may help with jet lag and short‒term sleep disruptions, but it’s not a long‒term fix. Studies show it doesn’t consistently improve sleep quality or duration, especially for those with insomnia.4
For some, melatonin works for a few nights but quickly loses its effect. Others fall asleep faster but still wake up during the night.
Instead of a temporary solution, experts recommend addressing underlying causes like stress or nutrient deficiencies. For example, magnesium naturally supports relaxation and deeper sleep—without the downsides of melatonin.
3. It Can Disrupt Crucial Medications
Melatonin doesn’t just affect sleep—it can interfere with important medications, sometimes making them too strong or too weak.
For example, it may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners, affect blood sugar in diabetics, and alter hormone levels when taken with birth control.5
If you're looking for a natural alternative that won't interact with daily medications, magnesium is a hormone‒free option that helps you relax and ease into sleep.
