Crushing Melatonin?!
Question:
Crushing Melatonin?
Is this safe?
They're not time released and there's no warning on the label.
Has anybody done this, or have any advice?
Real answers, please! Don't just go to a website and copy/paste what it says. THX!
Answers: Yes, it is perfectly safe, I used to crush them to a fine powder and mix them in with a drink or shake, they worked fine.
More importantly, make sure that you dont take too high of a dose, 0.3mg is enough, however most pills will be 1 or 3mg so crush the pill and take half or a quarter of the pill about one half hour before bedtime. I wouldn't see a problem with this. I take Midnite, which is basically melatonin. You can chew it or let it dissolve, so I don't see why you couldn't just crush it up. I'd just be careful of how much you take.
Best Wishes. There's no reason that this should have any effect positive or negative. if you prefer to take it crushed that's fine, but there's really no reason to do so. There is no adverse effect from crushing the tablet.
