Hello,

Stéphane Villeneuve · 7 years ago

The first thing to think about is making sure you are not taking melatonin to counteract the effects of taking caffeine too late in the evening! Is this your case?

The main consequence of taking caffeine and melatonin at the same time is their respective decrease in efficiency. Obviously, one puts you to sleep, while the other wakes you up! However, their use remains safe, if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are not taking any other medication and if you are not allergic to either product

If this is the case, I invite you to consult your pharmacist who has all the relevant information about you!

I hope that I have answered your question correctly,
