In the case of melatonin, make sure to get the non-organic formula. If it’s from an animal source (brains), don’t use it. It resets the clock inside and helps to reduce fatigue upon awakening. Helps with jet lag to a degree.

1. yes it helps with jet lag
2.yes ifs readily available you can go to wal-mart or any drug store should carry it
3.directions are included, but if I remember, a little will work for 1 and a lot will work for someone else.
4.USED AS DIRECTED OR NEEDED.

I’ve never noticed it works… I travel extensively, but those pills are totally useless to me.
The only thing that works is to make sure you travel well rested, that you catch up on sleep on the plane (depending on air time…), and that you stay in daylight (better, in the sun) once you arrive. Go to the beach!! that is the best cure.

It’s used as a sleep aid, so I don’t think it’s going to help with jet lag. Places like Walmart, K-mart, Target…..will have it.

Hey,, it works very good,, and will not leave you groggy,, it just makes you sleepy… is all… take a couple tables before you get on the plane,,, or after,,, and sleep your way across… it cuts out the drag of lag time… lol

Yes it is effective for treating jet lag and it also an excellent alternative to sleeping pills to help you sleep at night. It is made of all natural organic herbs and not habit forming yet it is effective.
You can buy it at must drug stores and practically every health store.

melantonin is a natural chemical released by your brain. You can purchase it probably from a health shop, or the internet. I think its expensive. I dont know how it would help with jetlag but i know it does help you sleep. Its like natural sleeping pills. I dont know if this has helped at all. Good luck

i take melatonin fairly frequently. i buy it at walmart, walgreens, etc. Different people need different doses. I take 9 mgs about an hour before i need to be asleep. if i wake up 3 hrs later (which happens frequently) i take about 6 mgs more.
