Gabby Bevel said in an interview that she slept 13 hours after eating one Lazy Cakes snack. Niki D'Andrea said she was shocked at how sleepy it made her: "I really did go to bed for about, I think 10 to 12 hours after I ate that first Lazy Cake, so well, maybe I should have started with half.

HBB wrote on their Facebook page that the fight wasn't really over the product, but rather, their marketing scheme: Lets clear up the rumors on the street and in the press: we are in receipt of a letter from the FDA and are taking immediate steps to address their concerns—all of which stem from the way the product is packaged, labeled and marketed.

It is natural. You can get it at any pharmacy. You can hardly compare it to Ritalin I take 10mg every night to help me fall asleep and yes it wears off relatively fast because although I am pretty much out when I hit the pillow, I am up within hours.
But everyone is different. I have several medical problems which is the reason I use it to begin with. For me, melatonin has been a Godsend. Without it, it takes me up to 4 hours to fall asleep as I do not want to have to resort to prescription sleep medications that have all kinds of side effects. So I'll take melatonin any day thank you very much. As far as it being in food. Not a damn thing wrong with it in my opinion.
If you don't want to eat it, then don't and of course you shouldn't be giving it to your kids. Pretty simply. However, I do think it should be very clearly labeled that Melatonin is in the product and that it CAN make you very sleepy. And really people don't mind POT being in brownies, but they mind this? Of course everyone is different anyway and it will do different things to different people.
Should we ban everything because it might do something to someone in some part of some country somewhere? I think you get my point. In general melatonin is a natural supplement you can buy in a vast range of places such as dollar stores, walgreens, vitamin shops, etc As the article indicates, the recommended dosage for melatonin is between. So simple math indicates a 4mg dose per serving. FYI- I'm a psychology student and the affects of melationin which your body produces naturally, but insomniacs have an issue with their production of it is not an addiciting substance and does not produce a high.
This is awsome. We have something for when were down, something for when were up. Medical marijuana for almost anyone in the state of Michigan for just about any ailment they can dream of. I'm looking forward to the day when they put the cocaine back in coca-cola, and we treat ADD by putting drugs in the school lunches. Who thinks of all of this great stuff? We don't manufacture things anymore, we look for ways to make the easy buck at the expense of anyone who will buy it. Our kids are fat because they aren't allowed to go outside to play, they don't have recess, and aren't required to take gym class on a daily basis.
But don't worry there will soon be something you can eat that will take care of that too. What's happened to us? THere's that percentage of Americans who aren't afraid to eat it and then look at the nutrition facts and buy that new thing on the shelf with no concern for their own health. It's sad.
This is different from caffeine in that melatonin is a hormone which has side effects for some people. We gave our 14 yr old 5 mg melatonin before bedtime on a doctor's advice to help her fall asleep and she ended of having some really weird dreams and tended to be groggy throughout the morning the next day. We stopped it after 3 days. It's supposed to be short-acting; it helps you to fall asleep then gets out of your system pretty quickly. But for some people, it has a longer effect.
A lot cheaper than those brownies! People with caffeine sensitivities get arrhythmias from drinking coffee. If that's the effect it has on you or your child, don't eat it. Melatonin's known for giving people weird dreams the same way caffeine is known for giving people a boost of stimulation.
Actually, the bottle says specifically not to drink alcohol with this drink. Having tried the mellow drink myself, I can tell you that is sound advice. Ultimately I think it's up to consumers to choose what they want.
A lot of things on store shelves aren't really healthy cigarettes, booze, caffeine, Twinkies, etc. Plus the last time I checked, melatonin is available in the vitamin aisle anyway. How is it different from lacing food with caffeine? Buyers can make their own decisions about the products they want to eat.
If they want to self-medicate on Redbull and Lazy Cakes, so be it. This is wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin.
This is how it begins, people. Wake up. Next thing you know you will find Junior splay-legged beneath a shade tree, swigging some soporific-loaded mystery beverage and smiling aimlessly. Yea why don't you try reading up on Melatonin before posting something like this. It's not addictive and is not comparable to Ritalin at all. And really you might want to try some melatonin because you really need to calm down. I cant tell whether this is sarcasm or an extreme lack of knowledge of melatonin effects.
For some reason, a stimulant seems to help kids so diagnosed although it seems counterintuitive. A lot of people question this but that's the current best practices. Also, I think nick's comment is supposed to be sarcasm. We've come to the point where we are unwilling to take responsibility for what we put into our bodies. There is a need for individual responsibility.
Begin with the assumption that the purveyors are not interested in your health or that of your kids but your wallet. Let alone give it to a child. As for stores that would sell something like that to a kid or companies that use restriction labels and warnings in type that cannot be read by anyone with a magnifying glass, a couple of product liability lawsuits against them and the stores that sell the stuff would do more to bring that under control than all of the actions of the FDA, FTC, CIty of New York, etc, etc combined.
That comment has so many incorrect assumptions I don't know where to begin.
