Cibdol Meladol is a liposomal CBD and melatonin sleep oil that helps adults fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Each 30ml bottle contains 75mg CBD and 45mg melatonin, delivered across roughly 250 drops — that works out to 0.18mg melatonin and 0.3mg CBD per drop. Looking to buy Meladol online? We've stocked Cibdol at Azarius since the brand landed in the Dutch CBD scene, and Meladol is the one we reach for when customers ask specifically about sleep onset rather than general relaxation.
Designed for adults who lie in bed scrolling until 1am, wake up at 3am, or just can't switch their brain off after a long day. This is a sleep-specific formula — not a general-purpose CBD oil with melatonin as an afterthought.
What makes Meladol different from a bog-standard melatonin tablet or a plain CBD oil is the liposomal delivery system. Cibdol wraps the cannabidiol and melatonin in tiny fat-soluble bubbles (liposomes) so the active compounds can cross cell membranes directly. The result: faster onset and better bioavailability than oil-based tinctures. With 250 drops per bottle, one 30ml bottle lasts most users 5 to 8 weeks at a standard 5-drop dose. That's one of the things we like about it on the shop floor — it's not a one-week wonder.
Meladol dosage — how many drops of Cibdol Meladol should you take?
Start with 3 to 5 drops of Meladol about 30 minutes before bed, placed under the tongue and held for 60 seconds before swallowing. Because each drop delivers 0.18mg melatonin, 3 drops = 0.54mg and 5 drops = 0.9mg — which sits neatly inside the research-observed starting range. Clinical reviews suggest most adults start with 0.5mg to 1mg of melatonin taken 30 minutes before bedtime, with higher doses not always being more effective.
Meladol drop-by-drop math
Because Cibdol's 30ml bottle contains 250 drops, the per-drop maths is simple:
| Drops | Melatonin | CBD | Intensity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 drops | 0.36mg | 0.6mg | ● Microdose |
| 3 drops | 0.54mg | 0.9mg | ● Low |
| 5 drops | 0.9mg | 1.5mg | ● Standard starting dose |
| 8 drops | 1.44mg | 2.4mg | ● Higher end of research range |
| 11 drops | 1.98mg | 3.3mg | ● Upper limit — rarely needed |
Experts recommend low melatonin doses — as low as 0.3mg, up to 2mg — given about one hour before bedtime, and many large studies show the lower end of that range is as effective as the higher end. Individual response varies. Start low, wait 60 minutes, and don't redose within 2 hours — if 5 drops isn't doing it, the answer is usually timing or sleep hygiene, not more drops. From our counter: the customers who come back for a second bottle are almost always the ones who stuck with 3–5 drops for two weeks rather than those who bumped straight to 10 on night two.

Complete your sleep routine
Pair Meladol with a magnesium glycinate supplement and a proper blackout eye mask. Magnesium is commonly used alongside melatonin, and blocking residual light stops your pineal gland from second-guessing the 0.9mg melatonin you just dropped under your tongue. Order the trio together and you've got a complete wind-down kit.
What is Cibdol Meladol? The liposomal CBD + melatonin sleep formula explained
Cibdol Meladol is Cibdol's dedicated sleep-onset product, combining 75mg CBD with 45mg melatonin in a liposomal carrier. Cibdol is a Swiss manufacturer that's been producing CBD since 2015 and built its reputation on pharmacy-grade quality control — each batch of Meladol is tested for cannabinoid content and contaminants. Melatonin is the hormone your pineal gland releases in response to darkness to signal "time to sleep". Supplementing with 0.54–0.9mg (3–5 drops) helps top up endogenous melatonin when blue light, stress, or shift work has suppressed your natural production.
The liposomal format is what separates Meladol from standard melatonin tablets or oil-based CBD drops. Traditional CBD oils sit on MCT or hemp seed oil — your gut has to emulsify the fat before anything gets absorbed, which takes time and wastes cannabinoids. Cibdol's liposomes are microscopic phospholipid bubbles already compatible with your cell membranes, so the melatonin and CBD reach the bloodstream faster. According to Mayo Clinic polysomnography data, the typical process of falling asleep begins with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep — getting melatonin into circulation before that first NREM stage is the whole point.
Why sleep matters — and what happens when you don't get it
This isn't us lecturing — it's why the combination of melatonin and CBD exists as a product category. According to research on sleep deprivation and cognitive performance (PMC2656292), sleep loss has a detrimental effect on both speed and accuracy of mental tasks. According to the Role of Sleep paper (PMC12168795), sleep-deprived individuals exhibit slower response times, increased attentional lapses, and greater task-performance variability. According to the EMCDDA's overview of sleep and substance use, disrupted sleep patterns are commonly reported alongside stimulant and alcohol consumption, which matters when you're trying to re-establish a rhythm. And according to research on long-term consequences of sleep loss (PMC5449130), chronic night-shift work has been associated with increased cancer risk in the Nurses' Health Study. Melatonin supplementation isn't about "getting knocked out" — it's about restoring the signal your body uses to initiate the 90-minute sleep cycle described in the Mayo Clinic polysomnography overview.
How Meladol's liposomal CBD + melatonin works
Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain, shifting your circadian phase toward sleep. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system — CB1 and CB2 receptors — and appears to modulate anxiety and arousal pathways, which is why people who "can't switch off" often respond better to a CBD + melatonin combination than to melatonin alone. Research on stress and sleep efficiency (PMC6682925) found that adaptogenic compounds improved sleep efficiency more obviously after four weeks of consumption than after two — Meladol tends to reward consistency rather than one-off use. The Cannabidiol itself is full-spectrum-adjacent — you get the primary cannabinoid plus trace amounts of other hemp compounds that contribute to a broader entourage effect (a term referring to the combined action of multiple cannabinoids and terpenes working together).
How to use Cibdol Meladol — step by step
- Shake the bottle. Liposomal formulas can separate slightly — 5 seconds of shaking sorts it.
- Drop 3–5 drops under the tongue. Start with 3 on night one (0.54mg melatonin, 0.9mg CBD). Move to 5 if 3 isn't enough after 3 nights.
- Hold for 60 seconds. Sublingual absorption skips first-pass liver metabolism.
- Swallow, then lights out. Phone down, lamp off. Melatonin signalling is undermined by blue light.
- Wait 20–30 minutes. Onset is faster than tablets but still needs a window.
- Don't redose. If you're still awake at the 90-minute mark, that's sleep hygiene or anxiety, not a dose issue.
- Repeat nightly for 2–4 weeks. Consistency matters more than volume.
Taste and texture of Meladol
Meladol tastes surprisingly neutral compared to traditional CBD oils — because it's liposomal and water-compatible, you skip the earthy MCT-oil funk you get with most hemp tinctures. There's a faint botanical note and a slight bitterness at higher drop counts, but nothing you need to chase with juice. If you're drop-sensitive, follow with a sip of water after the 60-second hold.
Honest limitations — what Meladol won't do
Meladol isn't magic. If your sleep problem is fundamentally about racing thoughts at 4am, untreated anxiety, sleep apnoea, or a caffeine habit that runs to 6pm, a melatonin signal won't override those inputs. It also won't "knock you out" the way prescription sedatives do — and it shouldn't. Customers occasionally tell us they tried 8 drops on night one and felt nothing dramatic; that's the point. The signal is subtle and works with your circadian biology, not against it. If you need something stronger, that's a GP conversation, not a bigger drop count.
Why choose Cibdol Meladol over other CBD sleep products?
- Liposomal bioavailability, not oil-based. Most CBD sleep oils on the market suspend cannabidiol in MCT. Meladol's liposomal carrier is designed for faster absorption — you feel the onset in 20–30 minutes instead of 45–60.
- Dose-precise maths. 250 drops per 30ml bottle means you know exactly what 0.18mg of melatonin per drop gets you. Compare that to 10mg tablets where you're either on or off — with Meladol you can titrate from 0.36mg (2 drops) up to 1.8mg (10 drops) in 0.18mg increments.
- Lower melatonin dose, higher precision. A 5-drop Meladol dose delivers 0.9mg melatonin — roughly 10x less than a typical 10mg Dutch drugstore tablet. Research consistently shows lower doses perform as well or better than higher ones, so you get the signal without the morning grogginess.
- Cibdol's quality control. Swiss production, each batch tested. Cibdol publishes COAs (certificates of analysis) on their site.
- Azarius stock rotation. We've sold Cibdol since the range launched — the Meladol on our shelf isn't last year's stock sitting in a warehouse.
Safety and harm reduction for Cibdol Meladol
Meladol is a supplement, not a sedative — it doesn't force sleep, it signals it. That said, common-sense safety applies. Don't combine Meladol with alcohol, prescription sleep medication (doxylamine, zopiclone, benzodiazepines), or other CNS depressants — research notes 332 known drug interactions for common sleep aids, and adding more compounds to the mix is how people end up groggy at 10am. If you're on SSRIs, blood pressure medication, or blood thinners, talk to your GP before starting. Not for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or by anyone under 18. If you experience vivid dreams, morning grogginess, or headache — those are the most common melatonin side effects and usually mean your dose is too high. Drop back to 2 or 3 drops. Research on sleep deprivation and emotional regulation (PMC12116485) makes clear that sleep quality affects emotional stability — use Meladol as a bridge back to good sleep hygiene, not as a permanent prop.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cibdol Meladol
Cibdol Meladol FAQs cover dosing, drop counts, onset time, storage, and safe combinations — the questions we get most often at the Azarius counter.
How much melatonin is in each drop of Cibdol Meladol?
Each drop of Meladol contains 0.18mg of melatonin and 0.3mg of CBD. With 250 drops per 30ml bottle, a standard 5-drop dose delivers 0.9mg melatonin and 1.5mg CBD — well within the research-observed starting range of 0.5mg to 1mg.
How many drops are in a Cibdol Meladol bottle?
A 30ml Meladol bottle contains approximately 250 drops — the Cibdol standard. At 5 drops per night that's around 50 nights of use; at 3 drops per night it stretches to 80+ nights.
How long does Cibdol Meladol take to work?
Sublingual Meladol typically begins acting within 20 to 30 minutes thanks to the liposomal carrier — faster than standard oil-based melatonin tablets, which can take 45 to 60 minutes. Hold drops under the tongue for 60 seconds before swallowing for best absorption.
Is Cibdol Meladol safe for daily use?
Meladol is formulated for nightly use and the per-drop melatonin dose (0.18mg) is well below the upper limits used in clinical research. For chronic sleep issues, a 2–4 week cycle of Meladol combined with improved sleep hygiene is more effective than indefinite use. Not for people under 18, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Does Cibdol Meladol contain THC?
No — Meladol uses CBD isolate in a liposomal carrier, with no detectable THC. You get the 75mg cannabidiol and 45mg melatonin without any psychoactive compounds.
Can children use Cibdol Meladol?
No. Meladol is an adult-use product (18+) and paediatric melatonin supplementation should only happen under medical supervision. If a child has sleep issues, talk to your GP — don't self-dose with adult CBD products.
How does Cibdol Meladol compare to a plain melatonin tablet?
A typical drugstore melatonin tablet contains 5–10mg — roughly 10x more than a 5-drop Meladol dose of 0.9mg. Research consistently shows lower doses perform as well or better, with less morning grogginess. Meladol also adds 1.5mg CBD per 5-drop dose, which standard melatonin tablets don't include.
How should I store my Cibdol Meladol bottle?
Keep Meladol in a cool, dark place — inside a cupboard is fine before opening. After opening, we recommend storing the bottle in the fridge to preserve the liposomal suspension and extend shelf life across the full 250 drops.
Can I combine Cibdol Meladol with other sleep medication?
No — avoid combining Meladol with prescription sleep medication, alcohol, or other CNS depressants. If you're on SSRIs, blood thinners, or blood pressure medication, check with your GP before starting. Meladol works best as a standalone low-dose signal, not stacked with other sedatives.
Where can I buy Cibdol Meladol in the Netherlands?
You can get Cibdol Meladol directly from Azarius — we've stocked Cibdol since the brand launched, so the bottles shipping from our Amsterdam warehouse are fresh rather than long-sitting stock. Order online and it ships across the EU.
Does Meladol cause morning grogginess?
At the recommended 3–5 drops (0.54–0.9mg melatonin), most users report no morning grogginess. Grogginess is typically a sign the dose is too high — drop back to 2 or 3 drops and time the dose 30 minutes before actual lights-out, not 2 hours before.
Can I use Meladol for jet lag?
Yes — the low per-drop dose is well suited to jet lag recalibration. Take 3–5 drops at your destination's local bedtime for the first 3–5 nights to help shift your circadian phase. The liposomal carrier means onset is fast enough to work within a standard 30-minute wind-down window.
