    You take both 2-3 hours before bed?

    Is there different strengths of Melatonin? I definitely need to get something for the odd time I can’t sleep.

    Right; doctor told me to do it that way. Most people take it within an hour before bedtime.
    3 hours before works best for me.

    Watch that brand. Some of it is made in China.

    "It's line of vitamins is neither manufactured nor bottled in China or Taiwan; however, some Spring Valley vitamin products do contain raw materials sourced from that region."
    I just looked it up and that's what I found out.

    If you want to check out something interesting look up API's. Active pharmaceutical ingredients, China sells the United States about 95% of it's API's for pharmaceutical production.

    Check the bottles. I bought C,D and Zinc at one point and didn’t check till weeks later. All said Made in China.

    Last week my girlfriend needed something and I was helping her look. The same supplement in different doses was made here or there. That didn’t make any sense to me.

    Probably why cancer is so high. Not that I think they would purposely make people sick…….
