As the title says really. Could anyone link where they purchase their melatonin from please? Been recommended by my counsellor, but she bought hers on holiday.

Pipingrock.com

I second piping rock.

It’s really easy to buy from any number of online pharmacies based outside the UK. They will ship to the UK. It’s not a controlled drug IIRC.

minipie · 26/06/2025 00:18

Piping rock also. We have found the dropper to work better than the gummies.

Look at the reviews on trust pilot for piping rock, I wouldn’t trust them at all. Look for a reputable online pharmacy that has a registered pharmacy logo. You will be able to order melatonin online from them.

iherb or on holiday in Europe / states

You don't need to buy it from a pharmacy, they're considered a supplement, like vitamin c in the states so you can purchase them in normal shops (and it would be the same brands if you bought them in Walmart or a grocery store vs a pharmacy)

I order from Piping Rock and have done for about three years for my autistic DC and have had zero issues and fully recommend them. It's infuriating that they're so difficult to get hold of here but freely available in the rest of the world like aspirin.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 26/06/2025 23:05

I've ordered from pipingrock for five years without any problems.

Sprogonthetyne · 26/06/2025 23:06

I've being ordering from Biovea for the last year. Never any problems

They can't ship and sell melatonin from the UK. Possibly elsewhere in the EU though.

Lavender1974 · 26/06/2025 23:14

Biovea. I've had three tubs of melatonin gummies arrive today. Ordered them on Monday.

Manchestermummax3 · 26/06/2025 23:37

Thank you everyone for your responses.
I'll have a research tomorrow.
It's for my son (17) He has CPS & CFS and is in a really bad sleep cycle/flare at the moment.

Afaik it's dropshipped - so originated somewhere else but then distributed from the uk @BeAmberPeer

WarriorN · 27/06/2025 11:18

Didn’t work for me at all and felt hungover the next day.

permanentdamage · 27/06/2025 11:23

I've bought it from Biovea before with no problems.

CatsorDogsrule · 27/06/2025 11:27

I've used Piping Rock for years. No issues.

Tillow4ever · 27/06/2025 12:54

I’ve used Piping Rock since last year after seeing it recommended on here. I get the 5mg dissolvable tablets and they’re great - I’m asleep within 20 mins of taking one usually after a lifetime of insomnia!

notag · 27/06/2025 13:08

Also had this issue and did a lot of research. I use Biovea now: quick, and relatively good value.
