In the case of the gummies, the sugar alcohols probably cause as many problems as the melatonin (which children already have a lot of, released from the pineal gland).

Yeah.

Don't think so.

I would say it is melatonin AND something else and the something else is the problem.

Melatonin comes in candy form now, gummies or fruit flavored chewables.

Melatonin is a sleeping drug. These people are giving their babies sleeping pills. And when they turn blue they are bringing them to the ER. It could be babysitters or parents. But melatonin is a pill that does not taste good. A baby would not normally go for this over any other drug.

From WebMD.com:

“Experts haven’t been able to find an LD 50 for melatonin. Very high doses of melatonin weren’t even fatal in animals.”

I couldn’t believe it when I saw an ad for melatonin for kids in the Costco magazine. So they might actually be given melatonin by a parent and then take more on their own or take their parents’ version, which is likely a higher dosage.

But why in the world kids need melatonin in the first place is beyond me. Let them get out in the sunshine during the day and they’ll produce plenty of melatonin on their own.

Yeah, that was my response. Who leave melatonin lying around?
