Buy melatonin: 2 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg

Melatonin sold as a food supplement is available without a prescription. Alongside it there are prescription-only melatonin medicines, usually prolonged-release tablets. Where the line between the two runs has not been settled conclusively in Germany, and it does not depend on a fixed milligram limit.

Yes. We deliver every strength listed here, 10 mg included, to Germany. Shipping costs and delivery time are shown on the product page and in the basket before your order becomes binding.

Having both on the same evening is not advisable. The reasoning — with the figures from the study and the wording of the product information — is in the magazine, which is where it belongs.

This page cannot decide that. There are two reference points: the authorised statement on falling asleep is tied to 1 mg per portion, the jet lag one to at least 0.5 mg — higher strengths carry no additional authorised statement. Anyone who wants exactly 1 mg takes the divisible 2 mg tablet. With existing conditions, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and when taking medicines regularly, the question belongs with a doctor or pharmacist.

The 2 mg tablet with a score line is explicitly made for dividing: halved it is 1 mg, quartered 0.5 mg. Which of the other packs are divisible is shown in the “Divisible” column above and on each product page.

That is in the nutrition table on the product page — not necessarily in the milligram figure in the product name, because a portion and a tablet are not the same thing. For the divisible 2 mg tablet the portion is half a tablet according to the recommended intake, and contains 1 mg.
