98 Swanson Ultra's advanced Dual-Release Melatonin takes its cue from nature, releasing melatonin in stages, just as the body does naturally when preparing for a restful night. You get 1.5 mg right away, when you need it most, and another 1.5 mg is gradually released throughout the night to ensure that you get the rest you deserve.

Date:January 3, 2012

"This doesn't work as well as the 3mg. melatonin for me. Also, I am very disappointed that it contains artificial color so that I'm going to send it back. Swanson's Sam-e also contains artificial color. That's why I buy Doctor's Best Sam-e."

"After receiving our Swanson order of melatonin, I was very discouraged to find that this contained artificial colors. (Would guess Red 40) I had forgotten to look at the label- which only shows how much I trust Swanson's to produce a quality supplement. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product."

Title:Wonderful

Date:May 23, 2011

"I have used melatonin for a couple years and just recently tried the dual release kind from Swanson. It is great. I fall asleep and stay asleep. If I do wake-up in the middle of the night I can fall right back to sleep. I don't feel groggy at all in the morning. I am a pretty light sleeper and I do still wake up fairly often but unlike before I started taking this product I can usually fall asleep again within a few minutes. I have recommended this to friends. I always was a good sleeper in my youth but since I started menopause I have a hard time sleeping, this does the trick for me."

Title:Made me feel weird

Date:April 21, 2011

"For someone who can take melatonin, this is probably a great product. However, my history with melatonin has always been feeling jittery and keeping me awake instead of getting sleepy. I was hoping the time-release would be different. I even took it in the morning to see if it made any difference in my overall well-being, but I was still jittery."

Title:Plain & simple, its a great product

Date:March 14, 2011

"I was blown away at how effective this product is.
20 minutes after I take it, I can feel the wave of relaxation that embraces me.
But the best part is that even if I need to get up in the night, I fall right back to sleep.
And getting up in the morning, I don't feel like I woke up in a fog bank.
Extremely well priced and very effective.
Its a winner....case closed!"
