I kind of said that...lol...okay not really...but that is absolutely correct, John....I just said that it is not homeopathic and a chemical produced by our body or something to that effect...your description of it was much more accurate. I have used it for a couple of years now and so has my son. I take it because sleeping pills make me too groggy the next day and they are addictive, etc. I had no idea you could only get it by prescription over there...that's a shame...guess I wouldn't be allowed to ship it to you then, huh?
