Fox News
More Americans are using melatonin to get to sleep, according to a team of international researchers. The supplements may help with certain conditions like some sleep disorders.
Additionally, the team wrote that – although remaining "very low" – the prevalence of self-reported use of greater than 5 milligrams per day also increased over time.
"These estimates may raise safety concerns, especially given that the actual content of melatonin in marketed supplements may be up to 478% higher than the labeled content and that evidence supporting melatonin use for sleep disturbances is weak," they noted.
