That is a lot of melatonin..

In the sense of taking the low advertised doses - yes it does seem like a lot. However, the niacin serves as a fantastic barometer as to how much melatonin you need. Try not to think of it in terms of x amount of melatonin puts me to sleep. When taken with niacin, it is used up. See the little graphic at the beginning of the post. I am up to 100mg melatonin with 1000mg niacin 3x per day and I'm not a zombie.

I might try the mix. You’re taking around 33 times the normal “sleep” dose.

I’ll start off far lighter. Just melatonin by itself gives me night terrors.

My lunch time regimen is 5 grams of glutamine (powder) in water, 10 mg chewable melatonin, then 10 minutes later 500 mg NAC and 500 mg flush niacin. My wife couldn't tolerate 500 mg niacin. She went beyond a flush to having a raised rash all over. She has worked up from 100 mg niacin to 200 mg now and doing fine. As a police/fire/EMS dispatcher, her circadian rhythms and melatonin cycles are pretty messed up.
