Formula overview
Bedtime goes better with a plan, and sometimes a little help. Moon Cub is a strawberry gummy with 1 mg of melatonin, a low dose that supports a child's natural sleep rhythm during occasional restless stretches like travel, time changes or a new routine.
It is made with pectin rather than gelatin and colored with purple carrot juice. It carries a child-resistant cap, and we ask parents to treat it as an occasional tool, not a nightly habit, and to talk to their pediatrician first.
This is the relaunch of our original Children's Sleep with Melatonin gummy, with the same 1 mg dose and a cleaner, plant-based recipe.
What it does
Helps promote restful sleep*
Melatonin is the hormone the body releases at night to signal that it is time to sleep. A small 1 mg amount supports a child's natural bedtime rhythm.
Gentle 1 mg dose*
One gummy, one milligram: a low dose designed for occasional use, not a sleep fix.
Plant-based gummy
Set with pectin, colored with purple carrot juice. No gelatin, no artificial dyes.
How it works
The brain releases melatonin as evening light fades, which signals the body to wind down. Supplemental melatonin can support that signal when a child's rhythm is disrupted. It works with the body clock, so timing matters more than quantity: a consistent routine and a dark, quiet room do most of the work.
Who it's for
Parents of children 4 and older who want a low-dose, plant-based option for occasional sleeplessness, after talking with their pediatrician.

Cautions
Talk to your child's pediatrician before giving melatonin. For occasional use only; not for daily long-term use without medical advice. Not intended for pregnant or nursing mothers or individuals taking any prescription medication, including antidepressants. May cause drowsiness: do not drive or operate machinery. Candy-like gummies: store locked away and out of reach of children, and never refer to the gummy as candy. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. Product may settle during shipping. Natural colors may darken or vary from lot to lot; this does not alter potency.

Read our planned standardsQuestions, answered
Is 1 mg safe for my child?
1 mg is a low dose commonly used for children, but every child is different. Ask your pediatrician before starting, and use it only occasionally.
Can my child take it every night?
We do not recommend that without medical guidance. Melatonin is meant to support occasional sleeplessness, not to replace a bedtime routine.
Is it vegan?
Yes. Moon Cub gummies are set with pectin and contain no gelatin.
Why a child-resistant cap?
Pediatric melatonin ingestions have risen sharply in recent years. Keep the bottle locked up and treat it like any other supplement.
