Talk to a clinician first

Gated

This is a supplement we won’t link to a specific product without clinician context. Melatonin is not appropriate as a chronic sleep aid; affiliate use must respect narrow indications.Once we offer clinician partner pathways, this is where they’ll appear.

If you’re working with a doctor or qualified practitioner, they can advise on dose, brand, and monitoring.
