Over the counter melatonin pills/gummies/whatevers are not regulated as strictly as actual medications are.

One of those med regulations is that *every* pill has to have the exact dose listed. Melatonin isn’t usually mixed that evenly. So a “5 mg” pill may have 8 mg or 1 mg. 

They just have to dump enough melatonin into the mix that when divided by the total pills made the math shows 5 mg per pill.
