Melatonin or substitute

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Jack is in 2nd week of diet and is doing pretty good. He does run riot in the

evening, and is up until 10, 11 or 12 at night because he finds it really tough

to go to sleep.

We used to use melatonin, but I believe this is an illegal. Is it known to be

a strict no no? or should we give it a go and see what happens?

Are there any alternatives?

All the best

Hi! Here's a bit of info. for you. Chamomile also relaxs the body.

I'm thinking that in light of loose bms etc. I'll pass on that part.

And depending on which type of Chamomile flower that was used, it can

be very strong. Here's a quote from botanical.com regarding common

Chamomile.

'The powerful alkali contained to so much greater extent in the

single flowers is, however, liable to destroy the coating of the

stomach and bowels, and it is doubtless for this reason that the

British Pharmacopceia directs that the 'official' dried Chamomile

flowers shall be those of the double, cultivated variety.'

A person with a healthy gut doesn't want to use it on a daily basis

for the same reason. Unless you made it yourself to know how much and

which kind of flower was used. Happy day to all.
