Right. I can only recommend it for someone who has an actual melatonin deficiency. People with healthy melatonin systems take on only risks and gain no benefit from the additional melatonin.

Melatonin in higher doses (the 3mg pills commonly sold OTC) causes incredibly vivid dreaming. So that is one entertaining side effect.
