"Just a quick note of 'thanks' for great service. Found your site by chance when researching melatonin on line. My husband and I are totally satisfied with the product, just ordered 2 more. We have recommended your site to the folks at the office, and even though our orders are tiny, we appreciate you and wanted to let you know. Cheers, and thanks again." - J&B J., Canada
"I just had to send you a message of thanks, for your detailed response to my query re: Melatonin and alcohol. It certainly put my mind at ease. Actually, I neither take melatonin nor alcohol daily. But, I needed to know, just in case. If your company has a mailing list, please put me on it. Thanks again." - M.M., Mexico
"My order is well arrived at Home, in Reunion Island, and the product is excellent! This sustained release melatonin is much more effective than my former melatonin. Thanks a lot." - L.A., France
"I have been using Melatonin since 1990 as a sleep aid. I have a sleep disorder and am unable to use sleeping pills (and don't want to). Melatonin makes the difference between sleep and not sleeping. This has necessitated many trips to the United States.... sometimes for the sole purpose of purchasing Melatonin." - M.M., Canada
