Melatonin is the ‘sleep’ hormone and has shown to be effective in inducing sleep. Research has also shown that maintaining good levels of vitamin B6 is important to getting a good night’s rest. Melatonin has the added benefit of fighting free radicals and aiding oxidation while you sleep. There are number of additional chemicals that provide no therapeutic value in the capsules that we did not like. This product lacks other ingredients like Doxylamine or Valerian, which are commonly found ingredients in similar products currently on the market.

Take one tablet 20 minutes before bedtime unless otherwise directed by your doctor. 5mg is almost twice the recommended 3 mg dosage per day.

Conclusion if Our Revolution Health Melatonin CR Review
We liked a few things about Revolution Health Melatonin. it packs a higher than average dose of the active ingredient, melatonin. It offers 5mg per dose instead of the average of 3mg that competing brands use. We also were glad to see the inclusion of the secondary ingredient, vitamin B6. Positive also is the fact that this is a slow-release tablet that will release tiny amounts of melatonin throughout your sleep to ensure a consistent uptake to the brain and again points to how specific this medication is. We do have some less positive comments however. We were unable to find any pricing for this product on the manufacturer’s website or on Amazon. The manufacturer does not offer any discounts for bulk buying or new customers. Revolution Health does not make mention of a product guarantee or returns policy. This product lacks other ingredients like Doxylamine or Valerian, which are commonly found ingredients in similar products currently on the market. There is no assurance that the product is made in an FDA certified facility or that it is free from fillers and binders. We were somewhat nervous about the higher than average dosage of melatonin (5mg) found in this supplement. There are number of additional chemicals that provide no therapeutic value in the capsules that we did not like. For all these reasons we are unable to recommend this supplement for sleep support.
