Some people still produce enough melatonin.
Other people need a combination of 10 mg Melatonin and (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) mg GABA.

I do the 10mg. gummies. If I didn't, I would never sleep. I'm good on 10, but anyone starting melatonin should start at the lowest dose.

Only helps if you are actually deficient in it

Diabetics are "typically" deficient in Melatonin, Chromium, B-12, Iron, folates, some of the other B-Complex, Calcium and Magnesium while having high Sodium and Potassium levels (which can cause as much problems as a deficiency)

BUT without actual lab drawn blood work to check there is no way to know if You or I "personally" have those deficiencies which is why supplements work great for some, ok for other and do nothing for the rest of us

If we could manage to eat "healthy" and well balanced most of the time we would not need to supplement at all. But once we restrict carbs or cut out whole food groups (ie. vegan or vegetarian as an example) and stop consuming foods that our bodies have "evolved to need" we will be deficient in "something"

Just have to find what and supplement or adjust diet accordingly

And if someone has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep as a result of stress, worry, pain, some other hormone imbalance and dozens of other (factors), even a whole Truckload of Melatonin wouldn't help because "it's" not the problem and different meds or a different kind of Doc may be needed to deal with (those) conditions which are messing with sleep
