The manufacturer recommends that you start taking one tablet daily approximately three to five days before you plan on traveling.

You can’t purchase this product directly from the manufacturer’s website but we did find it on Amazon where a 60 capsule bottle costs $14.52 which should last 2 months when taking one capsule per day. There are no bulk purchase discounts or new customer incentives offered by the manufacturer. Shipping is extra and there are no free shipping options offered either.
Guarantee

Conclusion of Our Mason Extra Strength Natural Melatonin Review
On the plus side we liked that the capsules contain a more than ample supply of melatonin (5mg) and also contain key ingredients vitamin B6 and calcium. The product is priced quite reasonably at $14.52 for a 60 capsule bottle which should last 2 months when taking one capsule per day. On the less positive side of things, we were disappointed in the lack of guarantee or return policy. Despite a good priced product you the consumer need to have an option to return it if the product doe snot do what it says it can do. There are no bulk discounts or new customer incentives offered by the manufacturer. Shipping is extra and there are no free shipping options offered either. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that this product is made in an FDA certified facility, that its ingredients are non GMO and that it is free from fillers and binders. There are only 9 customer reviews for this product on Amazon. For all these reasons we suggest that you skip this supplement and look for a jet lag supplement that comes with a guarantee, bulk buying discounts and a much larger number of user reviews.
