Lazada Sleeping Pills.

I bought same sort of thing years ago, totally fake, it was high dosage.

Buying medication from Lazada most of which is Chinese is risky and not worth it. Remember melamine in baby milk powder? To them it’s only about profit so they’ll substitute expensive ingredients with cheaper ones. Ethical responsibility is not in their culture.

There are many non-Chinese made supplements on Lazada e.g. Kirkland brand. But availability is sporadic. Sticking to known Western brands, I have not had a problem.

Going to the UK shortly I bought Melatonin sleeping pills for on the plane and for jetlag. They served me well in the past.

This time I bought them from Lazada, each pill 10mg. I tried one and it did not work at all, so I went and bought some Travan 0.5mg from the local doctor and tried one and I fell asleep immediately for 8 hours.

My question is, is it possible that the Melatonin was counterfeit? Especially as I bought them from Lazada?

Is there anyway I can get them tested?

 

 

Let's take a guess,,   shipped from "China" by any chance ?

I had sleeping issues on and off and tried various supplements.

 

Melatonin worked to help me fall asleep quickly but didn't help me staying asleep all night long. I'd often wake up around 3:00 or 4:00 AM and be unable to get back to sleep.

 

What worked best for me was the supplement 5HTP. It's a naturally occurring amino acid that promotes a positive mood and helps with sleep. It's non-addictive and you can take it for a period of time. I take 100 mg, but you can take  higher dose. Note, it's better to take it for several weeks as it takes a while for it to work and it's not used like, say, a one-off sleeping pill that will put you to sleep immediately. It's cheap and safe and worth trying if you have sleep issues. I take it shortly before bed and combine it with 100 mg of Magnesium Glycinate. Together, they help me get a decent night's sleep.

I keep a rapid acting sublingual melatonin at my bedside for exactly this purpose, 3-5 mg. 

 

Generally gets me back to sleep within 15-30 minutes. 

 

Aldo keep a book or magazine on hand. If when I wake up my mind is racing or  worrying, reading while the  melatonin kicks in helps.  Sometimes necessary, sometimes not.
