As I understand it, melatonin is a natural substance in the brain, and the melatonin pills or gummies treat a deficiency that you may have. In that sense, it is not defined as a drug. Another example are vitamins and mineral supplements that are not called drugs. Relaxium contains melatonin and it is advertised as a non-drug sleep aid.
