I'm planning to make Melatonin Gel, and I'm wondering if I can substitute vodka for the gin. I don't care to buy a bottle of gin if I don't need to. Thanks!

Hi Renee,

I have gotten several feedbacks saying that vodka works, but it will require more vodka than gin in order to properly dissolve the melatonin powder. That has been my experience also. This results in a more watery mixture.

Thanks so much, Art. I successfully made a batch using vodka. I didn't adjust the amounts and it seemed to work out fine. It seemed to take a while for the melatonin to dissolve, but I just added the aloe gel and the melatonin all seemed to disperse evenly and then disappear/dissolve. I used an old hand sanitizer flip-cap bottle, and it worked well. Too soon to tell about the health benefits.
