If you’ve ever had trouble falling asleep, odds are you’ve heard about (or tried) melatonin as a way to solve your insomnia. There are a multitude of ways to consume the sleep aid — from pills, to gummies. But melatonin diffusers, also known as vape pens, are the latest additions to the arsenal of products promising better shut-eye.
The first melatonin vape was introduced only five years ago. Because they’re so new, there aren’t many studies on the effects of vaping melatonin. And like all dietary supplements, these diffusers aren’t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This means that these products can go to market without any safety, purity or quality testing, which is a problem for the wellbeing of consumers.
While there’s no denying that a good night’s rest is an incomparable bliss, are melatonin vapes safe and effective?
