Much of the melatonin is synthesized, but serotonin is not among the precursor chemicals. How it wound up in this over-the-counter sleep aid is unclear. Serotonin is a biosynthetic precursor to melatonin, but unlike melatonin, it is a potent neurotransmitter and has been implicated in many “disease states.” Serotonin is not considered a supplement it is a controlled substance. 71% of the tested samples were not within 10% of the label claim.Īnd here is a fun fact, 26% of those supplements contained serotonin. Melatonin content ranged from −83% to +478% of the labeled content. Though a decrease in actual melatonin content as compared to label claim was expected because of degradation or stability issues, the number of products with a significant increase in melatonin content was not anticipated.” “The results of melatonin content across brands, supplement type, and lot demonstrates significant variability from label claim. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, analyzed 31 melatonin samples. But a Canadian study points to a different and more widespread problem in the wild-west, that is, the supplement market – the claims on the bottle do not match its contents. “Increased sales, availability, and widespread use have likely resulted in increased access and exposure risk among children in the home.”Ĭhief among the CDC’s causative factors was the pandemic, with children being more at home and sleep issues increasing for the entire population – more exposure to the drug. The public demand and the market for melatonin have increased sales by more than 150% during the same interval. The hospitalized were predominantly teenagers with intentional ingestion. Of the 11.7% that had gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, or central nervous system symptoms requiring care at a “health care facility,” the majority (71.6%) were discharged, but 14.7% were hospitalized, and 1% required intensive care. Over the nine-year interval, pediatric melatonin ingestions increased 530%, largely unintentional ingestions among children aged five or less. 88.3 were asymptomatic – the phone calls of worried parents. 
94.3% were unintentional, occurring at home 99% of the time, and 88.3% were managed at home.In this instance, pediatric includes children to age 19.
