Re: Andy MORE help with some supplements

Andy,

We can give the melatonin for a few nights but after to many nights in a

row that starts to cause night wakings. He can't take pills so I don't

think the time released will work. I have to mix everything in juice

and give in a sippy cup. The contents in the time released melatonin

would have to be smaller than a grain of rice and remain stable in the

juice. Do you think it is worth trying?

While I am at it what is the max amount of melatonin you would suggest

for a 6 year old who weighs about 40lbs?

Based on your answer sounds like you think Vinpocetine might also cause

night wakings.

Again thanks for the help.

First add melatonin to keep him asleep.

2.5 to 5 mg 3 or 4 times a day for the vinpocetine.

The life extension foundation time release melatonin worked just fine

when the capsule was opened and it was dumped in yoghurt or apple

sauce.
