If it worked, it would be illegal.
I used melatonin quite a while ago, while it was still an over the counter medicine. To my understanding it changed to prescription only, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it back on the shelf. I tried it for a week, before not noticing any effect and searching online to see if Bioglan was a reputable supplier, and found out this product won a shonky, and it was the second time the company had won such a dishonour.
I am now dead set against buying any BioGlan or Nature's Way products (owned by the same company) and when I see them on frien...Read more
d's kitchen or bathroom benches, I point out the Shonky awards that those companies have been "awarded". Placebo is a wonderful effect. Apparently, for some psychosomatic diseases, some people will continue taking the sugar pill even after being told it has no biological effect, because it works for them. If that's you, good on you, and I am not saying BioGlan should not be prevented from selling it for that reason. However, I feel claiming it is a homeopathic preparation without disclosing there is no active ingredients remaining in the product (only that was used and diluted out in the manufacturing process) is deceptive, and worthy of the Shonky. Boycot BioGlan products folks. When you put chemicals in your body, you need absolute trust in the provider. This one betrayal is enough for me to avoid the company and all its alternative brands for good.Purchased in May 2021.

Works for me
This product has worked for me. I still wake up periodically through the night but always straight back to sleep. According to my fit bit tracker the quality and length of my sleep has improved significantly. It did take about a week to kick in. It would be nice to know what dose of melatonin is in the pills.

Trialing it. So far promising.
I don't tend to have trouble falling asleep. It's staying asleep that's the issue. No matter what time I fall asleep I wake from between midnight to 3am sometimes with trouble getting back to sleep. A friend let me try a week's worth 3mg prescribed melatonin capsules. It seemed to get me through a longer sleep stretch of the night, waking closer to 5am.
Have substituted bioglan homeopathic melatonin pills since friend's trial supply ran out (with a time gap in between). 1 tablet didn't work, 2 tablets seems to get me past the 3am mark getting a longer stretch of sleep period. Have noticed skipped nights waking at 2am in contrast. Haven't tried it for long though. Maybe 2 weeks on and off.

Ineffective product
This product has given no improvement in sleep quality. There is no indication on the label on Mg per tablet, just an instruction to chew 3-5 tablets 30 minutes before bedtime. May as well chew mints without the flavour. Don’t waste your money

Pretty good, would buy again
Sweet flavour. 5 sprays is a lot though, so you go through the bottle quickly.
It doesn't seem to help me get to sleep, but it does help with having a more restful sleep....once I actually fall asleep. So for that I'd totally buy it again

Another Homoeopathic Scam! - Will not treat any real sleep issues or anything actually
This product is a complete scam! These are just fake pseudoscience sugarpills, It even won a Shonky Award from Choice in 2018,.
https://www.choice.com.au/shonky-awards/hall-of-shame/shonkys-2018/bioglan
This product took advantage of me when I needed sleeping aid the most. And my biggest regret is not realizing it sooner or being able to get a refund for it!
If you're having real sleeping issues ask you GP about Circadin, an actual real Melatonin product you can get in Australia.
Also don't trust any of the 5 star reviews they are all either fake, Bioglan sponsored or from gullible people fooled by a placebo effect.

Totally missed the Homeopathic thing here
Thought it was Melatonin, it's actually homeopathic (aka sugar water) - waste of $18!
Misleading and borderline fraudulent! Makes me question Bioglan as previously considered them one of the better brands of vitamins

Not actually melatonin.
Apparently the "health" industry can sell you sugar pills as long as they put "homeopathic" in front of any word they like. Here they chose melatonin.
There is zero mg of actual melatonin in these.
This is pure scam artistry protected by capitalism. Disgusting.

Absolute trash
Bought this bottle thinking it will help me sleep better. First night I took it nothing happened thinking maybe my brain is just too messed up but after a week nothing has helped. After seeing other experiences ive come to the conclusion that you've been scammed.

Felt No difference
I felt no effects good or bad from taking this sleep aid.It was as though I was taking flavored water. I still wasn't falling asleep until one o'clock after taking it at 8.30 pm. It was a complete waste of money. I wish I had read these reviews first.

An expensive con job
I paid 27.98 for a bottle of 90 tabs. Taking 3 in a dose works out to close to a dollar a day, for a product that does not work.
Should be a law against scams like this.
Was it tested before being put on the market?

Deceptive and misleading not worth even one star!
This is not Melatonin. I was under the belief it was 6x stronger in melatonin when in fact it has zero. The labelling is deceptive and misleading to the average joe blow. How can a medication, homeopathic or not, be sold in Australia without the specified ingredient? How can a medication be labelled melatonin and have none in it at all? How does a well known company Bioglan get away with such deceit? How can a reputable chemist sell and push these products on consumers when they should know more then we do? MONEY!!
Do not buy these products!

1 particle of melatonin per million. Also known as sugar pills.
The chemist never mentioned that this wasn't real melatonin. It's homeopathic 6x which leads you to believe it's 6x stronger but is in fact watered down 6 cycles of 1 in 10. So 1 x 10 = 10, 10 x 10 = 100, 100 x 10 = 1000, 1000 x 10 = 10,000, 10,000 x 10 = 100,000, 100,000 x 10 = 1,000,000. Or 1 particle of melatonin per million. Also known as sugar pills.

You are being scammed. This is not melatonin.
This isn't melatonin. This company named their sugar pills "Melatonin" to profit off of your sleeplessness. The only thing this product has done to me is make me angry that the pharmacist handed me this when I asked for melatonin, and failed to mention that this is fake medicie. Bioglan are parasites that feed off of illness. Instead of buying this product, try lighting the money you would have spent on fire. The satisfaction of not giving this company your money will be much more effective at helping you sleep at night than swallowing this entire bottle full of lies

No effects except bad effects.
Bought this yesterday from chemist, chemist lady told me she takes it and it's amazing. Sprayed 5 sprays under the tongue, mind was racing, felt sick, felt dizzy and couldn't get to sleep as she intended, finally got to sleep, had the most vivid dream I was in a plane crash, woke up and found it hard to get to sleep again. Crazy night sleep, now I have to go to work. Will not be having any tonight thays for sure. Seems fake to me. Annoyed I payed money for this crap.

Melatonin Drops Very effective
The new bioglan product Melatonin drops We have found to be very effective. My husband and I used to wake up 2 to 3 times night. After the first night of use we have slept through most nights. Sleep deeper and get to sleep much quicker. Have been using homeopathic remedies for sore throats for years, and now this is another great homeopathic remedy. Very effective with no drowsiness in morning. Feeling a lot better.

How does this make it to the shelves. Should be illegal to brand water and flavouring as a sleeping aid.
Absolutely no sleeping effect, drove me to drink, as well as got prescribed actual sleeping pills by the doctor as I thought I had melatonin.
Fake product, I honestly don't know how a product like this can be approved for sale when actual melatonin, which works fantasticly for me, requires a prescription! Bioglan are obviously misrepresentating this product due to the laws. Caused me multiple weeks of lack of sleep, stressed home and work relationships as well as higher alcohol consumption and unnecessary consumption of addictive sleeping pills trying to get to sleep before I realised I had been scammed. Bought myself some actual melatonin off the internet and problem was solved in a day.

Placebo tablets I'd say!
This product did absolutely nothing at all. I may as well been taking tic taks! I'm pretty disappointed as I heard great things about melatonin. Then I found out that this is homeopathic so basically watered down x6 times if I'm right? Don't be scammed into this.
Wasted money!

Questions & Answers
Wendyasked
what is the dosage of OTC Melatonin as compared to the prescription Melatonin
No answers
Crystalasked
How much melatonin on each tablet
1 answer
None. Melatonin is illegal to supply in Australia without a script. The 6X on the side means that it has been diluted 10^6 times, or 1 particle in a million is Melatonin. In other words, they are selling you a placebo.
judith s.asked
exactly how much melatonin is in bioglan's melatonin tablets. Without scie3ntific obfuscation, please.
2 answers
None. At best, melatonin was used in the manufacturing process, and if the claims are to be believed, diluted out to one part in a million. No therapeutic dose remaining. If there was, it would be illegal to supply without a prescription in Australia.
how is it possible to sell these and similar products legally in this country with government approval?
