Where do they get synthetic Melatonin from?

I know that there are two types of Melatonin out there. Natural, which they get from other animals. And synthetic. But, where do they get the synthetic from? And if it’s synthetic how can they still market it as a natural sleep aid? Thanks for the answers.

Can anything speed up the effects of melatonin?

For the past couple of weeks, I haven’t been able to sleep until 4am. So, last night, I decided to take melatonin. I noticed that it took about 2 hours for it to take effect. Is there anything I can eat or drink to speed up the effects? I thought that milk might do the trick, or eating something (only 100 calories or so), but that took two hours still.

Sleeping aids?

I have struggled with insomnia for years. I have tried taking OTC medicines such as Benadryl, melatonin, cough syrup, etc. I have also been prescribed Ambien, Ambien CR, Rozerem, Lunesta, Valium, and I am currently taking Tizanidine. None of which have helped me in the least. I see no effect from the medicines.

I have also changed my diet, exercised more, taken the television out of my bedroom… etc. Nothing so far has helped.

Does anyone have any suggestions for medications that have helped you that I could ask my doctor about? I’m desperate… anything will help.

Thank you =)

I’ve been having a real hard time getting to sleep every night. Sometimes I’m up till 12, 1, or 2am, and then I have to wake up at 6 every morning. But I don’t know, just can’t seem to fall asleep lately. I’ve already tried Unisom, nothing. Advil PM, nothing. Even a vitamin called Nature’s Made Melatonin. Any other good ones out there? Thanx!
