MediGuard answered:The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements like melatonin There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. A maximum safe dose has not been determined. Better research is needed in this area. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with your doctor or other healthcare provider.
