Question: what is the maximum amount of melatonin i can take?
Answer: For children, the AAP says the dose should remain low (between .5 and 1 milligram), capping out at no more than 3 to 6 milligrams of melatonin. The maximum dosage for adults ranges from 5 to 10 milligrams. If that sounds like a wide spectrum of normal, it's because the “right” dose of melatonin is very individualized.
