How to Read a Melatonin Supplement Label

To read a melatonin label, check out five things: the serving size, the actual melatonin amount per serving, the “other ingredients” list, any certifications, and whether the product is third-party tested. Independent testing has repeatedly found melatonin products whose contents differ from the label — which is why testing matters.

Why label transparency matters

A label is a promise about what's inside. Because supplements aren't pre-approved the way prescription products are, transparency and independent testing are how a brand backs-up that promise.

What to check, line by line

• Serving size: how much active in one serving, and whether you can adjust it.

• Active amount: the actual milligrams of melatonin per serving — not just the front-of-bottle number.

• Other ingredients: look for added sugar, added natural or synthetic flavors and colors, preservatives, alcohol, or emulsifiers. Also count how many other ingredients are present.

• Certifications & testing: third-party testing and any certifications the brand can substantiate.

The VIMERGY approach

VIMERGY Restful You* is made with pure melatonin in a base of organic flax glycerin, purified water, and organic lemon juice concentrate. It is formulated without sugars, added natural or synthetic flavors and colors, preservatives, alcohol, or emulsifiers. Every batch undergoes third-party testing for quality and purity. The serving size and melatonin amount are stated clearly; along with the easy-to-use dropper, it is simple to measure and adjust your serving as needed.

Questions to ask any brand

• Is every batch third party tested?

• Does the actual melatonin amount match the label?

• What's in the “other ingredients” line?

Frequently asked questions

Why do melatonin amounts sometimes differ from the label?

Melatonin amounts may differ from the label because of manufacturing consistency, ingredient purity, and batch-to-batch variation. This is why third-party testing for every batch is important to establish consistency of potency.

What should I look for first on a melatonin label?

The serving size and the actual melatonin amount per serving, then the other ingredients list.
