Question: Is it ok or safe to take 3mg of melatonin every night.? .?
Answers:
It's probably safe, but my ND recommended 1mg or less. Every night is probably too frequent, people can easily not feel the effects if taken regularly. I take it 1-2mg depending on how not tired I am. 2mg is the max I take and I have no problems falling asleep. If you have a chronic problem falling to sleep you might seek out other options, herbs, meditation, yoga even.

Yes, it is safe for a few days, but after that stop for about a week. Melatonin is synthesized in the pineal gland and shipped out to certain organs, including the brain to get it ready for beddy-bye time. The Melatonin is synthesized into Serotonin and it's 'lights out.'
Really the thing that has helped me is 5-HTP which is the stuff that is synthesized into melatonin. 5-HTP will do more than Melatonin does.
But, you don't produce Melatonin, Serotonin, or 5-HTP in your body. You have to get it from what you eat, i.e. green vegetables, mushrooms, peyote, etc.Health Question & Answer
