I would assume you mean Melatonin... a naturally occuring hormone in most mammals, including humans. Its levels in humans appears to decrease with age and is linked to the ability to sleep well.

As a long haul pilot for many years, I and many other acquaintances in the aviation industry have used it to overcome "jet lag" (which is a misnomer but describes the upset of the naturally occuring circadian rhythm we all experience caused by the crossing of numerous time zones in a short period of time). I've not noticed any side effects but I'm judicious in its use, limited to one dose (3mg) per night about 30 minutes for bed time when I'm "on the road". It's never shown any indication of dependence in my use. It's very reasonable in cost. Here's a balanced review: http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/a rticles/258.html

As the article indicates,avoid natural Melatonin... depend on synthetic varities if you choose to use it...

Sorry, I have never used it but I have a friend who tried different tanning pills and they didnt work.

I have used the Holland and Barrett tanning pills and they worked for me but you have to get some natural sun as well.

Some of them can turn you orange depending on ingredients so be careful they don't contain anything that sounds like carrot-anything!
