>A single correct dose is a myth. The author even sort of notes that with the differences between teenagers, 25 year olds and the elderly.
The author spends several paragraphs citing studies, different cases and populations, and says explicitly why they concluded to the specific mg dose:
"Based on a bunch of studies that either favor the lower dose or show no difference between doses, plus clear evidence that 0.3 mg produces an effect closest to natural melatonin spikes in healthy people, plus UpToDate usually having the best recommendations, I’m in favor of the 0.3 mg number. I think you could make an argument for anything up to 1 mg. Anything beyond that and you’re definitely too high."
