Natrol makes a 1mg gummy and Vitafusion has a peach flavored 1.5mg gummy (sold as “3mg” but the dose is “two gummies.” My kids use these. I get them on Amazon.

Bulletproof has 0.3mg capsules, but it's a pricier brand. On the other hand, I'm not sure which other brands actually have the dose they say they do.

Way too high in my experience. Can leave you croggy and dependent. Micro dosing using drops is more effective for me without feeling groggy in the morning. Anything above 1mg is way above the natural melatonin level of our body.

Interesting. Can you share any research tips that helped you arrive at that conclusion? I don't want to overdo it. Dosages in mainstream products are often even higher than the 1.5 so it's obviously easy to go way, way too high if what you're saying is true.
