In this episode of Daily Value, we look at newer research on melatonin that challenges conventional wisdom. A recent meta‐analysis questions current clinical guidelines on melatonin use for sleep, suggesting there may be a dual (Dose X Time effect) secret to optimizing its effects. We’ll break down the scientific clues behind optimal dosing, timing, and formulation, leaving you to wonder if you've been taking melatonin all wrong.

Discussion Points:

• The clinical recommendations for melatonin may be “off”.
• What a recent meta-analysis (PMID: 38888087) suggests as better dosing and timing of melatonin.
• Formulation differences between fast-acting and extended-release melatonin.
• Practical tips for tailoring melatonin to boost your sleep quality.
