Melatonin is a remarkable substance. I recently experimented with taking one gram of melatonin every hour for twelve hours for one day (from 08:30 to 20:30). Next week I'll be taking about 400 mg every hour for ten hours for one week (from 10:00 to 20:00).
Where do you source your melatonin and what grade is it?

Sadly, I get it from PureBulk. Its quality is unknown.
I’ve gotten it from vitaspace. I can post a photo of the label if you’d like.

Thank you - I had forgotten about that site. Their melatonin is significantly less expensive than PureBulk. Do you know anything about the quality of their products?

I’ve been happy with everything I’ve gotten from them which is only a couple things. Ordering is a little more complicated and the shipping time took a few weeks but it still seems worth it. I believe @ecstatichamster has more experience with vitaspace than me so perhaps he will respond.

Thank you for the response. However, manufacturer and distributer COAs are useless - there's nothing stopping them from faking it all. There is no possibility that their melatonin is that pure, when they sell 100 grams for $40 - one gram from Sigma Aldrich is $76.

@Ras Interesting experiment, what do you hope to achieve?, also long term how will effect sleep if you stop supplementing??

Thank you.
That's where the bulk vendors buy their stuff I wouldn't trust them , I think vendors like Thorne research and other companies have them in pure .

Even using 400MG of your or a gram it would probably end up having 10MG because of the inpurity.

I've used Pure Bulk and Thorne melatonin, the effects on my sleep are exactly the same at equivalent doses.

That’s disturbing. It would be interesting to have it analyzed independently. I’m not sure how to do that or if I could even afford it!
