Ridgewood NJ, a recent study has shown that melatonin levels aren’t matching what’s listed on the label. Doctor JEREMY FAUST , “Melatonin. It’s a hormone that our bodies make and release when it’s bedtime. For people having trouble getting to sleep, taking some supplemental melatonin has been shown (in randomized controlled clinical trials) to help.”
“Children and adolescents have insomnia too. But because melatonin is sold over-the-counter as a dietary supplement rather than a drug, there is far less quality control. If you read the dose of a bottle of ibuprofen, it’s going to be accurate. Not so of dietary supplements.”
“Regardless, melatonin use is up, and so are pediatric hospitalizations resulting from accidental overdoses. From 2012 to 2021, pediatric melatonin overdoses were responsible for 4,097 hospitalizations and 287 intensive care unit admissions, with calls to poison control centers going up 530% during that time. Two pediatric deaths due to melatonin overdose occurred during that decade.”
