REMfresh Extra Strength 5mg Melatonin Sleep Aid Supplement (36 Caplet) | Sleep Supports Immune Function | #1 Doctor Recommended | Pharmaceutical-Grade, Ultrapure Melatonin

Mr. MVP has sleep apnea and on top of that his body does not produce enough of the chemical that paralyzes a normal human during a natural sleep cycle. To put it simply, he sleep fights (like Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec) almost every single night and it really does not matter if he is dreaming about running the New York Marathon or fighting off zombie invaders, I am going to experience it through his kicking and punching. The novelty of sleeping next to a sleep fighter wore off about three hours into our now fifteen years of marriage, so it has been an ongoing struggle to find a happy medium and trust me we have tried everything.At our last visit to Mr. MVP's pulmonologist she started to round the corner back to prescription sleep medication because the last CPAP machine adjustment did not really work like we wanted it to, but she stopped and asked if we had ever tried melatonin. We are usually very skeptical of naturopathic treatments for serious ailments, but desperate times and all that right? Dr. S. recommended RemFresh by name and said she had a number of patients taking it quite successfully. I went on Amazon before we left her office and ordered a box.That weekend Mr. MVP started the RemFresh and we both thought nothing of it because we expected it was going to be a $32 failure. Two nights later and I woke myself up multiple times during the night to make sure Mr. MVP was still breathing because he had not woken me up yet. He had slept straight through the night. It was a freaking miracle. As he continued to use the RemFresh his sleep just got better. No sleep fighting and he consistently got eight to nine hours of uninterrupted sleep (he tracks his sleep with his apple watch).As I knew Mr. MVP was going to hit the bottom of his magical melatonin package eventually, when we were at Costco last weekend we saw they had Natrol brand melatonin 5mg time released capsules for a fraction of the price of RemFresh, so I was more than happy to switch one for the other. Mr. MVP finished out his RemFresh and without my knowledge started the Natrol melatonin on Sunday and just like that the sleep fighting was back with a vengeance. It was miserable. When he woke up Monday morning I asked him if he had started the Natrol melatonin and we both instantly knew our frugality had been our downfall.I went online to the RemFresh website and ordered two more boxes and was able to get an extra 10% off coupon and free shipping (the price is a little better there by the way) and then I sent Mr. MVP to our local CVS (you can also print out a physical coupon on the RemFresh website to take to a store) to pick up some 2mg RemFresh - they don't carry the 5 mg - after work to fill in the gap until the online order shows up in the mail.*For the curious - Mr. MVP is very sensitive to medications (aspirin upsets his stomach and one children's Benadryl knocks him out for hours), but this melatonin did not have any drowsiness side effect at all. He takes it 30 minutes before we go to sleep and then we go to sleep. I have had to wake him up in the middle of the night (I have medical problems myself - we are a real pair the two of us) for help and he woke right up without any issue and then was able to fall back to sleep without any problem afterwards.

Love this stuff. Like that it’s time release. Don’t feel groggy in the morning. Wally use to sell it but quit.

My doctor recommended this brand after I did a sleep study for sleep apnea. While I didn’t have sleep apnea, it was clear I did have some insomnia so the doc recommended REMFresh and cited the brand name. I had already used magnesium and melatonin (Natural Calm powder and gummies) so I knew that it worked for me, but with the Natural Calm I would often wake up feeling woozy, which I also get from diphenhydramine (NyQuil, Tylenol PM and the like). With the REMFresh, I don’t feel woozy in the morning.That said, I also don’t think it’s as effective at helping me fall asleep. Maybe it’s because this is only 5mg delayed release rather than 10mg non-delayed like the Natural Calm dose I was using. Also whenever I take it I wake up much earlier than I should and can’t get back to sleep. I typically wake up naturally around 7:30 or so, but when I take this I tend to wake up between 5:30-6:30 regardless of when I actually fell asleep.I’ll continue to use this until I run out but might go back to Natural Calm or try something else before I settle on a go-to. Will probably keep these around for when I just need some light help falling asleep. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me.

I find myself in agreement with those who have found real benefit from this OTC sleep aid. I suffer from a movement disorder which has gotten progressively worse as I've aged. My previous course of treatment involved a drug which was probably over prescribed and which I discovered I had to rely on an ever increasing dosage to see me through a night. Eventually even that failed to relieve my symptoms and in spite of new medication I was still suffering from chronic lack of sleep. There are certainly worse conditions which affect one's sense of well being and attendant depression but I've found myself drained of energy, confidence, and it's affected my memory. I really hadn't considered other means of treating myself besides prescribed medications. I think that years before I had used Melatonin to no effect along with various herbal teas. I was desperate though and decided to take another look and then discovered Remfresh on the shelf of my neighborhood Pharmacy. It was the 2mg. dose but i think the next few evenings I felt drowsier and more inclined to fall asleep. Unfortunately my nervous system threw a hissy fit and I was back at the "shakey jake", up all night. I decided to try the 5mg and I've had better success, more consistently. I'm almost afraid I might get used to actually being able to get to sleep and stay asleep for 8 hours or more. Remfresh has given me new hope to get my life back on track. I don't think it's a miracle, it may not work all the time, but for now it's improving my quality of life.
