You could use liquid melatonin instead, and dilute it to a usably measurably small dose.

Or he could use whatever pills to make his own liquid melatonin, and titrate from there.

I bought a bunch of stoppered bottles with calibrated eye droppers for the purpose. 6 bottles, 7 bucks at amazon, though that item shows no longer available.

Thanks. I haven't used liquid products much before. Anything you've noticed that's significantly different in terms of onset time, effect duration, etc?

I haven't used them since I haven't tried to go that low dose yet. I assume they would be absorbed faster but otherwise similar.
