What is in Melatonin 5 mg?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tablet. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melatonin | 5 mg | Higher than 64% of 1,557 products listing melatonin (median 3 mg). | |
| Lemon Balm Aerial Parts Extract | 500 mcg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for lemon balm, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
