CRN adopts new voluntary guidelines for melatonin-containing sleep supplements

17 Apr 2024 — The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) has updated guidelines for melatonin-containing supplements and gummies to provide recommendations to address intentional overages (excess) during manufacturing, child-deterrent packaging and precautionary label statements. The guidelines aim to ensure that consumers have access to responsibly formulated, labeled and packaged products. 

The organization has issued two sets of voluntary guidelines for melatonin-containing products, one focusing on the formulation, labeling and packaging of supplements marketed for sleep support and one for labeling gummy supplements.
