Re: Melatonin Illegal?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Melatonin is legal, but some melatonin supplements are not. We used to

use chewables from Kirkmans before we went SCD, they were illegal

because of one of the additives. We now use Kirkmans capules with

magnesium. Look on the Pecanbread site for the legal supplements.

Hope you guys are doing good.

illegal. I'm really not sure why, and I do know that many parents of

ASD kids use it anyway. So, it's *technically* illegal.... but I

have no idea why and to be honest, I always just recommend that

parents find a melatonin with no added illegals because I think a

good night's sleep is so essential for these kids (AND their parents).

did not approve of melatonin... in terms of how it would interfere

with the diet.
