Yes, I have. It has a half life of about 2 1/2 hours.
It normally begins rising in the early morning, leveling off around 10 am, and declines in the afternoon.This drop triggers the release of hormones at night initiating the sleep cycle. I was told by a doctor it should be taken in the morning only.
