Comment:
actually i have been giving it to my 25 yr old son with autism. I give him 1000 mg before bed, along with 9 mg of melatonin.. He has been going to bed and staying asleep for the past wk of using this. So far so good. I just wonder is it safe.. but I guess it is safer than any other sleep aid out there.
